That's a Hull KR song.
Happy to have a different one but not an existing rugby 'anthem'

No it’s a song, what can’t we sing when the Trin go marching in because Saints sang it first, that makes no sense at all

Of course it makes sense. It makes us look unoriginal and unimaginative and other fans will rightly ridicule us.
Are we so sing Marching forward together too?

Let's have our own song or not at all. Not one copied from another club.

Just a thought, if anyone went to the theater to watch " They walked on water" quite a lot of trin fans did, the song chorus cry was ;- come on without, come on with, you'll not see nothing like the mighty Trin ! However this is quite old now, using a song Mighty Quin - a Manfred Man song !

Original chants also aren't that imaginative. For example, "Wigan! Wigan! Wigan!"

"Come ALL, without, come ALL within".

A great song we should be using to better effect.

I've been thinking about this for a while and thought if it's for Big Dave how about using Waltzing Matilda as a guide tune? I was thinking along the lines of " Waltzing Fifita Waltzing Fifita, he'll go waltzing through you with ease, don't ever mess with Fifita he's the prop with all the Bop he'll go waltzing through you with ease"
Not great I know but it works OK I think, it's a traditional song originating way back in the 1890's, lots of people are familiar with it but if you're not there are a few versions to listen to on Youtube.

I think they tried it a few years ago but it’s a fairly old obscure song. What I’d do is if we get a cup run ie to the final, do it as a team recording changing the words. I’m sure we could record it very cheaply these days and it may even be out of copyright.

Play it over the tannoy pre game and after a victory and it will take off. It’s a lot to expect a song many are unfamiliar with and has no actual word as such and is relatively complex to take off without a little help. In no Simon Cowell but that’s how I see it.

I remember it being tried a bit when I were a lad in the late 70s, but it was a Fev song then because of the late great Steve Quinn.

I knew Manfred Mann's version but I didn't realise it was a Bob Dylan song.

It should be our "sweet caroline"

Any budding lyricists fancy a go at adapting the verses?

The Mighty Quinn (Quinn the Eskimo)
Bob Dylan
Everybody's building the big ships and the boats
Some are building monuments
Others jotting down notes
Ev'rybody's in despair
Every girl and boy
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Ev'rybody jumps for joy
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
I like to do just like the rest
I like my sugar sweet
But guarding fumes and making haste
It ain't my cup of meat
Everybody's just standin' around 'neath the trees
Feeding pigeons on a limb
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Then pigeons will go to him
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
Now, let me take credit due
I can recite them all
Just tell me where it hurts you
And I'll tell you who to call
Nobody can get any sleep
There's someone on everybody's toes
When Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Ev'rybody's gonna doze
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
