Until we can somehow get real investment we will be perpetual bottom dwellers, with the odd decent season. Toulouse apart, in the SL era we are the only team to not feature in a major final, which I think speaks volumes. As one of the largest population cities in SL, our attendances are bang average, and rightly so. Who are we going to attract new to watch them play garbage RL consistently. Our recruitment has hardly wetted the appetite for a number of seasons, but we will be at the bottom of the pecking order financially, so hardly surprising we have who we have. It’s a depressing feeling knowing the only consistent thing about Wakefield Trinity is that we will be a bottom 2/3 side until said investment happens.

Sadly I have to agree.
Some of our players are simply not SL standard.
The younger end not included because they have yet to learn.
Take Fifita from our pack and the remainder frighten no other team in SL.
Add to that, when they play without heart the floodgates open.
I take no pleasure from saying that.

Tom Johnstone comment is pathetic. He may have had a lot of very genuine injuries but in the games he’s played he’s been a total match winner. Without him we wonder be in SL,. What non entity do you think we should replace him with? get a grip, quality over quantity.

Hilarious coming from the poster that has spat his dummy out saying he doesn’t want to watch trinity any more because we lost a match

You are hilarious vastcap

I can not wipe the smile from my face seeing you crumble like the dog I’ve always known you to be

Think I might give it a rest for the next few weeks and that includes the forum which will please some I’m sure.

See you all in a month or so and finally good luck to those first teamers who still care, you’ve got your work cut out.

Well every cloud has a silver lining

See you later vastcap

Hmm did I say Johnson wasn’t good ? As usual putting your words in other peoples mouthes you pulsinanimous pustule. I merely made a statement of fact - he doesn’t play very often and is injured more than he plays. Most of the other posters recognise that we have a decent first team squad when everyone plays - sadly some of our top paid stars miss more than they play and that is a massive problem for the club.

Anyway pleased to here you aren’t going to post for a while no one will miss you

I was never a fan of the decision to give Poching a job because we have often seen a "assistant gets the job" resurgence after a sacking, followed by a disastrous season the year after when they have it permanently. This is where I hope Poching proves me wrong.

Every season has a sticky bit. Going into the Cas game, we have been looking good, and even in the first half of the cup game we did. Wigan were just more clinical when they got a sniff. Chester found it impossible to dig us out of a rut when we ended up in one. Webster was the same before him. If Poching can, he's done his job.

What worries me is that Toulouse keep getting almost-wins at home. If they beat us there, they will be close enough to make us panic.

Nest Sunday is the chance for a reboot. For me, this next couple of years is about surviving. After that, the extra income that the ground revamp can provide will hopefully enable us to buy better players.

But the reboot has to come against Salford, or else we'll end up in one of those ruts we can't get out of.

Lots of stuff seems to get made up on here, usually by people using other names, whatever makes them ' happy ' I suppose but like some say MUD STICKS.
