Big loss and pretty gutting but what will be will be.

Re: Batch move to Huĺ KR confirmed : Sat Aug 20, 2022 7:59 am  

Seriously have to consider future payments to 1873 squad builder and season ticket now.

What's the point in bringing on this type of player only to lose them when coming into their prime, and understand we cant keep them all, but Batch and the likes of Crowther are (were) the immediate future

Don't normall question the board but I need to know why this as been allowed to happen

Not happy about this at all

HKR are getting a player coming into his prime. He has been outstanding this season. I for one am absolutely gutted. I really hope we tried to keep him and haven't lost him due to penny pinching.

Are we really taking our cues from Sky commentators now? I have no idea about Aydin’s future but I’m pretty sure O’conner doesn’t either. The Sky pundits are well known for picking up gossip on these forums and repeating them verbatim.

Every year we do this, why not wait and see it’s not like we can do owt about it. Players come and go and the occasional good Trinity teams tend to come from nowhere.

I was watching Gale yesterday and if that rumours true I’d be delighted. He’s got years in him yet and a club like ours would suit him fine, Finn mark two. No idea if it’s true though.

I look forward to next season purely because we have nothing to lose. As we are we will eventually be relegated. If we tear up the rule book who knows, poop or bust. It’s the Trinity way!

But you do know the reason, money! We got outbid it’s that simple. I’m not MC but he has always been clear he will not spend what we don’t have. We can’t have it both ways.

Also we’ve had five seasons from Batch so I think we got our monies worth.

Strange and really new situation for the club to be in. So many quality young lads coming through the club system that it's going to be impossible holding on to them all.

We offered him a 10% increase so all his agent had to do was tout round for 11% I guess.

Certainly is a positive and like you say some will move on. But with Batch he was the finished product and I think we will struggle to replace him with someone as good. Dont know if Pitts is going round again but if he is, to be paying for him and loosing batch is bad business.

Ashurst too, as good a player he has been for us. That two year deal could've been a one year with then balance been used to retain Batchalor, if it was money and not a change of scenery that is the main driver of the move.
