Just to add 6 of our youngsters have made the England Youth National Performance squad this year, so the Youth side of things seems to be in very good hands. I know we had 3 selected for the side last year so hope we can improve on that number.

Tbh with coming on here and not going on facebook etc much, apart from Trinity TV, I miss a lot of the news the Community side of things does.

I'd heard about the great things we're doing as far as setting up a Ladies RL team, the Physical Disability RL side & the Ambassador Clubs Programme, which are all obviously great individual programs that the Community team have been a massive part of and I wouldn't be surprised if they are in for more awards come the time, but I've missed a few other things.

I had a look back through news items when I watched the Hull KR game and was surprised by how much they have managed to achieve. All the schools we're getting into with the Trinity DNA player development camps and Wakefield Trinity’s England Talent Pathway programme, not just Schools in Wakefield but Barnsley and Doncaster as well is absolutely outstanding. Well done.

Very proud of the club.

It is in the best shape it has been in, both on and off the pitch, that I have known, since I began watching at the start of the 80s.

A big well done to all concerned, not only Michael and Chris, but all the others that put in the hard work behind the scenes

This may surprise many on here but I must congratulate the club for bringing back respect. We are now no longer considered anything other than rightful members of super league. I know some still have trouble accepting the new Wakefield Trinity because I was one of them.
I hope that the gamble to play the first season with a much weakened team with the expected results we produced was calculated by knowing that the savings made over the season would be out weighed by the fact that finishing bottom was not an automatic relegation. We then invested to generate a team that could survive albeit only just. The gamble paid off so well done to those in charge.
The team strength has grown in quality and stature whilst retaining the Wakefield Trinity squad ethos since that first season. We have a group of talented young players all signed up to long term contracts.
We are no longer a feeder to others who cannot find their own players preferring to unsettle ours. We now have a squad of players who see their careers actually progressing with Wakefield.
I have always been proud to support Trinity for more years than I care to remember, through the thin and thin with the occasional high. I think the new supporters are very lucky because they have not experienced the financial uncertainty and ridicule many of us have faced. I hope they appreciate what they have because it took over 40 years to get there.
We just need to convince those in charge of the international team that we exist. I know it is strange for them to look beyond the usual teams but I sense it is only a matter of time.
I remain a staunch supporter of staying at Belle Vue and I hope that this one last remaining piece of the Wakefield Trinity puzzle can be resolved.
I will as per usual be in my seat Friday, probably freezing but you can expect nothing less with summer rugby.
