From the darkness of last season's relegation, Wakefield Trinity have found light in the Championship.
The step down has allowed Trinity to rebuild in the hope of coming back stronger. Thanks to ambitious owner Matt Ellis, that hope is quickly turning to optimism. Ellis appointed head coach Daryl Powell at the end of last year and backed him with a squad that could hold their own in Super League. Instead, Wakefield are tearing through the Championship and enjoying every moment. If the new era brings more days like Saturday, Super League can wait.
Jack Hansen sensed an opportunity to extend Sheffield's lead but Walmsley read his pass to perfection and took advantage of a head start to beat Ben Jones-Bishop over 80 metres. To compound matters, Cory Aston kicked out on the full to invite Wakefield straight back in. Trinity had their tails up all of a sudden and were not going to pass up the opportunity.
