Sky have picked for Saints game for Thursday night.....no choice.

I suspect that one of the play-off games will be on a Thursday...rules out Wire on a Sunday.

We could have played Les Cats on a Sunday though.

There appears to be no Sunday fixtures in the Super 8's from what I can see, are Sunday's set aside for the middle 8's?

Re: Home Games Super 8's : Wed Aug 01, 2018 2:21 pm  

Thursday games are a killer for me.

Re: Home Games Super 8's : Wed Aug 01, 2018 2:55 pm  

Yeah, looks like Super 8's are totally Thursday & Friday with Middle 8's taking the weekend.

That's Thursday, Friday (except 31st), Saturday, Sunday and Wembley Weekend Trip giving wall to wall Rugby League for the next 2 months. Might as well get some saturation because it's a long off season.

The old cliche of "no easy games" is certainly true with those fixtures.
3 wins would be an excellent return from those fixtures and lets just see if we can make progress in the top 8.
4th spot has definitely gone and realistically 6th looks like it should be our target but, we can certainly have some impact on the other home semi finalist (Saints are already certain of one of the home semis).

Come on Trin !

Think we play Saints at a good time with it been the week before the CC final (I know they have to get there first, but they are odd on favorites!) I cant see them putting out a full side against us. Not too sure if Hulls injury crisis has improved at all in the last few weeks but that is also winnable! If we can pick up wins in the first 2 against Hull and Saints we may just get a bit of a roll on and gain a bit of confidence!

It's also disappointing for me, it's my sixtieth and final season watching the Trin and it would have been good to have enjoyed my final 3 home matches and to have gone and enjoyed a match in the corporate entertainment area with friends sat or sun, unfortunately not to be now won't be the same watching it on Trinity tv.

Hi Chissitt, wondered why it’s your final season watching Trin, surely not because of your age. Regards another old git

Nah mate, disillusionment and frustration are among the main reasons, inconsistently poor refereeing, a governing body what are absolutely incompetent, that old saying the left hand doesn't know what the right hands doing, well in their case they don't even know the right hand exists, the uncertainty of what's happening to the game coupled to the uncertainty of our club with regards to our future which is a main concern, mid table club playing decent rugby, on the biggest and one of the best pitches in SL because we don't fit into sky's image we need to go, it's a shame sky can't get their own house in order and put a decent presentation on with decent presenters, sadly I'm not the only one, there are far more old fans leaving the game than new fans coming into the game.

You'll be back. I hope.

EDIT.

From what you say you've supported them nearly as long as me so it must be in your blood too. Isn't your post really a list of reasons to hang in supporting the Trin.
If you remove major family events then nothing compares with being present at a typical, against all odds, Wakey triumph. Be that on or off the pitch.
