Wakefield Trinity moved into the top three in the Super League table by beating York Knights to record a third win on the bounce.
On the day Trinity made a statement of intent off the field by announcing the signing of National Rugby League legend Roger Tuivasa-Sheck on a two-year deal from next season, they impressed on the field too with an ultimately comfortable victory.
Two tries apiece from Tom Johnstone and Oli Pratt, and another from Caleb Hamlin-Uele secured a fourth win of the campaign for Daryl Powell's side.
York kept tabs on their visitors with tries from Sam Wood, Ben Jones-Bishop and Nikau Williams but their defence weakened in the latter stages as the Knights slumped to a third successive defeat.
