My season ticket is still at the shop .Think something is going to have to change before I pick it up .Some one posted worst start to a season for 50 years .Would like too know if we broke the record for least wins in 3 years Any body

I'm guessing they mean we've never lost our first 4 games of the season since 1971?

I give you Championship season 1986/87. Played 30 Won 4 Drawn 1 Lost 25
We lost the first 10 games and then got a draw against Barrow in round 11. Our first win of the season came in round 22 against Widnes.
I'd say that was a worse start to the season.
*I guess they are trying to include all games? including cup games? #tenuous
in 1986 we did beat Batley (who finished 13th in the 2nd division) in the 1st round of the Yorkshire cup 14-12.

Even in super league, I'd give you a couple of worse starts:
2003 lost 7/8 (beat Cas Round 4)
2006 lost 7/8 (beat Quins in Round 3)
2014 lost 9/11 (beat Catalans and London in Round 4/5)
2016 lost 6/7 (beat Hull KR in round 3)

So, it depends on your criteria, if it's just never lost the first 5 games of the season before, maybe, (I've not checked further back than 1986). But worst start to the season? I don't think so.

You also have to factor in the fixture list. Usually we play one of the bottom-half teams in the first 4 games, this year has been particularly tough. How many times have we beaten any of Leeds, St.Helens, Hull and Wigan away in a season?

As for least wins in 3 years?
Are you counting 2021 as a year even though we've only played 4 games?
2020 - won 5/19
2019 - won 11/29
2018 - won 10/23
total 26/71 = 37%

2015 - won 3/23
2014 - won 10/27
2013 - won 10/27
total 23/77 = 30%

Anyway, carry on with your agenda-driven rants, but try to check your data.

Hes in charge its down to him to ensure the revenue streams are there and available,thats how business works !!!!

Doesn't he do that rather successfully already? if you were a trinity fan you would have grasped that, I'm sure he takes advantage of every opportunity to market the club with the revenue streams available, but sometimes those revenue streams aren't available in the real world as the last 12 month have taught us, well those of us that hasn't got their heads in the clouds.

Please explain how other teams manage it them,teams who have a much smaller demographic.
What they do is they go out and get the additional revenue streams.
I keep hearing on here that we are the lowest spenders in super league,why is this when we are a city with huge business around us ?

I'd add to Coco's stats by saying we've never had to play all our games away before either.
Even in our best season our away win ratio isn't going to be as good as home. Same for everyone else.

If it's that easy then why don't you go get these 'income streams' and help your club out

Yes, there are several players, not worthy of contracts at the moment, maybe even review some where we have squad imbalances too.

Also, isn't it Chesters last year on his contract. I think it is, but I could be wrong. Surely it won't be renewed
