Mr Clarke did tip us to finish bottom of SL this season.

Re: Phil Clarke : Sun May 21, 2017 7:17 am  

I thought Carneys mentioned securing our super league place , never said it about any other team. No mention of Wigan or Warrington also trying to secure their place for next year , or is it just me being touchy.

glad its not only me thinks the pundits are always on our case to fail, the game hadn't even started, we was in 6th position in the league having had a few narrow defeats that could of even put us up in the top 2 and still Carney used the name Trinity and super league survival in the same sentence, oh I wish I was there to give him a piece of my mind

With Wakey being many pundits tip for the bottom slot I often wonder if it's more in hope than knowledge.
Even after last season trinity just don't seem to receive any credit or consideration when it comes to player and squad improvements.
Unfortunately our top 8 games last season were disappointing and the season finished flat, hopefully we can put that matter to bed with a good run this season.
Tbh the CC draw could see us 80 mins away from Wembley, now that would be interesting.

Well I missed last years semi final as I was on holiday. If we reach the semi final this year I am away again!

In fairness to the "securing our place" comment, it's not applicable to any other clubs, well not yet anyway.
Warrington and Saints are looking much stronger now and neither of them will be in the bottom 4.
9th spot looks like either us or Catalan, unless we start taking points from games against other top 8 sides.
Apart from a great win at Saints and beating Salford at home, we have struggled against the bigger sides (I know that we could have beaten Hull).
Two points against Shudds next week will be great and then we will find out whether we can scalp some of the "bigger" sides.

One thing for sure is that, our defence is massively improved and although averaging 20 points against can be improved, it also means that you will win plenty of games.

Just like last season, big things are possible for Trinity this season, if we can stay healthy.
Daft as it may seem, we are only 2 points off a top 4 spot

Up the Trin !

Yes predicted us to finish bottom.

A good player in his day, but talks utter rubbish, but then again most do on SKY.

For me Stevo was the only one that talked any sense

That explains a lot

Lets face it Eddie doesnt and Barrie and Terry are more like the chuckle brothers.

Bumped into Stevo about two years ago on a train to London from Wakefield and we spoke for most of the journey. He was full of praise from what he said amd a lot of stuff about the game in general, both on and off the field.

Not only that, a fine player over here and in Australia
