I'm sorry but it does sound patronising. How come we have been presented with a rare opportunity. the clubs worked bloody hard to achieve its position .
Cas have had a great season and have been great to watch but I find it amazing that all of a sudden they have become the measuring stick of success . Huddersfield fans adopted the same attitude a couple of seasons ago so would you say that Cas are probably where Hudds where 2 seasons ago.
Nothings been handed to Wakey on a plate and the sooner our own supporters recognise that fact the sooner we can come to terms with after everything that's gone on just how well the clubs done.
I sense we can expect more patronising comments followed by no offence.
We don't require any kind of simpothy votes .

To be fair to him, it is a rare opportunity, we've not exactly been banging on the door of the top 4 consistently for the past 10 years, it's been this season. He's also not denied that were improving both on and of the field, which we most certainly are. I would take it as a compliment to say we're a couple of years behind Cas, they spent 4-5 years building something special at their club, and we're just coming to the end of our 2nd year of rebuilding a whole club. Next season we will have more stability with the playing group and more idea how to play in both high scoring games and tight games which will be invaluable if we're to push on as a club

Summed up perfectly for me.

I know several Cas fans who considered last season a success at the time, not least for having Solomona score the most amount of tries

It was a success considering that our captain and Roberts,two of the best try manufacturers hardly played any matches last year.
I went into last year confident of a top four spot if we held on to our first choice line up.
You know one or two cas fans that where happy about last year under the circumstances but overall it was disappointing not to get in the top four

None of what you said has any relevance to what I posted.

At what point did I give Wakefield a sympathy vote?

Two years ago castleford came out of a full rebuild of the club to start becoming reasonably successful considering their (at best) mediocrity for the previous 10 years, both on and off the field.

Which part of this doesn't apply to the Wakefield of 2017?

The people who run the club have built a stable and competitive club.

If you think I'm saying that put of sympathy then so be it. I don't understand it, but I guess some folk will always put a negative spin on things.

Yes, great season with some great results and rugby, but the fact remains and it is always at the back of my mind, but when the euphoria ends what are we going to do about this bloody ground situation???????? I suppose it'll be the main subject thread on this forum throughout the whole closed season. I don't want to sound an old misery, but everything we have built in the last couple of seasons could come crashing down around us.

This season is definitely one to celebrate for Trinity. From the moment Chris Chester came in there has been an uplift in fortunes. The quality and style of play has been great to see.
Getting things right at the business end takes a certain hard self focussed mentality of self belief. Castleford are not their yet, we have to wait and see if they are by what they do in their semi final. They have yet to prove themselves.

Having the self belief to win the big one off games is the acid test for all teams.
But Trinity should celebrate because you have come the farthest, had the bigger financial issues and even continuing as a club has been called into question.
So to see the emergence of a real team who are in every game is fantastic. Your journey has started , now you've got to build on that success and take a club with a great history back to the top table. This season is definitely one to celebrate.
