Wakefield coach Brian Smith has praised half back Jacob Miller, after he turned in a fine display in the Wildcat’s 14-12 win at Hull KR on Sunday.

Wakefield actually scored two tries to KR’s three, but kicked their goals to claim victory.

“I think the effort of our guys speaks a lot about them as a group,” said Smith, according to the Yorkshire Evening Post.

“Rovers threw everything they had at us; they had a bucket of possession on our line – they may have broken the record for amount of time they spent there.

“It’s what we need to set as our benchmark this year, our defence.

Jacob Miller was as good as anyone out there for us. He was superb for us, summed up by reading the short kick right near the final hooter.

“He put his body on the line with some incredible goal-line defence. It was a real team effort overall though.”
