The team is in dire need of at least a couple of long term signings but I just can’t see it happening with its financial situation.

They’ll be short term loans to cover a threadbare squad short on creative quality….

yep finances are tight, but we are still paying clowns like Gaskell and Lineham. that's not down to mash. from what I hear, they are not on peanuts either

Come on guys get off the back of Mash, he's a rookie coach thrown in at the deep end and thanks to the Messiah, all he has been given is one NO6 that stiff Gaskell. What coach on this planet could work with that,

Whilst there is much merit in what you say we’ve had worse teams on paper that looked more threatening than this one. He’s just not getting any kind of tune out of them. Sadly he looks like a guy that has been promoted way before he was ready and we are paying the price.

Absolute utter rubbish. I’ve watched Trin for many years now but this is the worst team with the ball in hand i’ve ever seen. We are just clueless. Sorry to say but this will be the year our luck runs out.

Can't say I'm overly bothered. Sick of seeing poop season after season.

Although no time is a good time to announce what was announced yesterday afternoon, regarding MC, if he's not going immediately, then I don't think that will help with the players mindset, although they're professionals, they are also human too, all I can see it doing is creating further uncertainty.

With IMG, there is enough of that right now

To be honest, this team will be MC's lasting legacy. Cut and cut and cut till there is nothing left. No hope, no anticipation of any of the games coming up. Hell I'm not even looking at wins any more, it whether we'll score any points.

And a certain person once quoted on here, that we would never sign Gaskell, despite us being offered him on several occasions

I think we used our ninth life last season. To go into this season with a very inexperienced coach, aging or unproven overseas players and many of the same players who didn't do much last season is pretty much saying we're happy to drop down a league.

Something seriously wrong with our discipline, if that horrendous penalties count is anything to go by , leeds didn’t have to break sweat for the most part to get piggy backed up the field , time and time again .Attack wise , 2 sets of 6 on the leeds line and they wouldn’t have scored if given another dozen . Lacklustre and toothless in attack almost to a point of being non existent . Never in my 5o years of watching our team have I seen absolutely no attacking structures or moves , it’s all hail,Mary’s and one out rugby , even our defence crumble when they realised lynne and kershaw were there for the taking and exploited it ruthlessly. All in all a pretty dour experience, there’s only so much defensive work you can applaud ,when our attack is so woeful . Leeds ran harder , tackled harder and were faster in foot and thought , the dam wall was breached after yet another penalty got them on our line ,and the it was damage limitation

What I can't understand is why would the club spend all this money on the ground just to end up in the championship,and why go into this tough sl season with a weak team ,doesn't make any sense.

Gaskell has a suspected torn pec so it's time for Smith to step up. Langi failed his HIA so won't be available next week. I guess Hall will make his return.
