They only need to win 4 if they play fewer fixtures than us an we don't win again.

Technically, Leigh could finish above us by winning 3 games if they contrive to only play 3 more games (e.g. us, Salford and KR) and we play and lose all our remaining games.

I seem to recall that a minimum of 18 games have to be played to get into the play offs for the percentage to count. It must be the same at the bottom hence I believe the reason for no relegation rumours etc this season

I knew when Hudds pulled it back to 14 - 18 we would go on to lose.
I can't even get angry any more, I just laughed out loud at the final score and did something else.
It used to ruin my weekend when Trinity lost, now it barely registers, my love for the club is getting sucked out of me.

Agree with this completely, as soon as they went over in the second half you knew it was over. Unfortunately it still annoyed me and ruined my afternoon.

A statement should be made from the club. We deserve an explanation as to why things have been allowed to continue like this.

Sadly I can't say I disagree. I don't think it's quite as simplistic as that but I can't really argue.

Fans, as we are making clear on here are very fickle.
If he gets his new deal and sign and great player or two they'll stay,.
If we win games. They'll stay.
The world doesn't revolve around Chester's contract.

All the drama queening on here is as depressing as the performance yesterday.

Same here.

The tragedy is that Covid was already undermining people's support for the club after what was initially strong support from the fans. A lot of people myself included pumped in a lot of extra cash in that first year and I do feel betrayed now,

People don't need excuses to stop supporting Trinity, it's not a club for the faint-hearted. Covid, Chester, and the players between them have conspired to give every fan a reasonable excuse to walk away,

If MC thinks they will come back he's mistaken. Once you've lost the habit you rarely get it back. That is why he has to act IMHO, because nothing else other than the sacrifice of CC will now stop the hemorrhaging of support. I'm not defending it or encouraging it but we all know how the world works.

I think back to that night where we destroyed Leeds at Headingly and how I felt for the first time ever that we were on the edge of real success and wonder how we are now where we are. I could weep.

I'd have agreed with that a week ago but it's gone too far. Something has to give, it's not the defeat, it's the manner of the defeat and just how predictable it was.

It may be drama queening from some but not from me, if I thought there was the slightest chance CC could turn it around I'd still be backing him but I don't think any signings can now reverse the rot.

I agree. There has to be a change.
I'm just making the point that wins will bring people in, not Chester's contract.

With that in mind, which would you prefer.
In the new league system.
Scrape occasional wins to stay in SL 1 or dominate SL 2?

Firstly why do you think we would 'dominate' a SL2? And secondly so you actually believe that SL2 will be anything other than the championship once the next TV deal is struck, literally a season after it is slated start? Sorry but i think you are being naive if you think the top 10 won't move to protect themselves.
