The game seemed to be intended to drive the scores to Golden Point-Addative time with 14 to 14. In the remaining seconds, Lino achieved an annoying drop goal with what turned out to be the last kick of a pulsating game to bring trinity into the top six. The rhinos who missed the chance to go third here will calm this down as a missed opportunity.
It was an explanatory victory for Daryl Powell’s team that played three times bigger in front of the masses than two years ago from the Super League from the Super League, but are now being born back under the possession of Matt Ellis. They seem to be real competitors for the race for the Old Trafford in October.
The opening exchanges showed on two sides that urged success this year. Both flowed off a high percentage and did not deliver a customs to the other. However, when the first mistake occurred, Wakefield was the opportunity that they would not happen when Max Jowitt had converted a punishment to open the rating.

Two minutes later, Trinity continued with the momentum when a wonderful handling to Lachlan Walmsley led in the corner. Jowitt could not convert, but the hosts were certainly a good price-performance ratio for their early six-point lead.
This attempt came after Brodie Croft had been sent to the sin bins for a trip to Lino, but to her honor, the rhinos for the 10 minutes, which she was in a numerical disadvantage, and even a penalty through the trunk by Jake Connor to narrow down the residues to just four points.
Jowitt then returned with a further punishment with points and gilded attack options for a bonus to make it 8-2. But Leeds continued to improve when the half-time approached, and they tried their efforts when Sam Lisone prevailed over three Wakefield defenders and Connor had a simple goal to achieve 8-8 during the break.
The tense, nervous nature of the procedure continued after half -time. Perhaps the biggest topic of conversation in the 20 minutes after the restart was that Leeds Connor lost to a freak incident after he was hit his face by his team -mate James Bentley when the couple tried to tackle a Wakefield player.

The competition then came to spectacularly alive in the last 15 minutes. Leeds had spent most of the second half to defend their own line, but in a rare foray in Wakefield Territory they were progressing for the first time when Jarrod O’Connor grounded the ball under extreme pressure to put the visitors in front of them.
When Jack Sinfield converted, they wondered whether Leeds could be able from there to tick over time. However, Trinity reacted great when Linos Zoll-Perfekt-Pass Matty Storton was at close range and Jowitt converted to achieve 14-14 and set up a grandstand finale.
The rhinos were absolutely close to the victory when Croft’s drop goal spread closely to the post, but Lino did not make a mistake at the other end and threw the winning point from a great extent to Rapturous scenes.
