Every club bar us has participated in either the GF or the CC during SL era. You can’t help but feel a bit demoralised.

Some of you seem to forget that Rugby League existed long before the Super league existed. There are clubs that once ruled the roost, but are no longer in SL, however, Trinity have never been out of SL since gaining promotion. Just be thankful for small mercies.

That may well be the case. But i’m going to assume you are old enough to remember all those good old days, maybe even when we could actually get to finals and win something. It’s those moments that get you hooked for a lifetime. The memories they create are the things that get you through the bad times, the hope of one day seeing the glory days once again. It is 41 years since we made a major final. I was 2 years old and too young for it to matter. My Dad passed the passion for the club down from his first hand experience of those good times but other than the Yorkshire Cup and a second division final win (neither this century) i’ve seen them get nowhere near. I can’t pass down those memories of success directly to my kids and in any case it is a different world these days, there are many other things vying for their attention. They don’t have the same attachment as me, in fact they are pretty ambivalent about it. This generation isn’t interested in making up the numbers, it wants success. And an also-ran club in a wreck of a stadium isn’t a pulling point. Neither is the occasional relegation decider. The club needs real success if it is to prosper, something they can hang there hat on and get hooked but right now that seems a very long way away. The fear is we will soon join those once great clubs in the lower division and the club will wither on the vine.


Very good post..... :CLAP:

Problem is DK some of us haven’t seen Trin in a final let alone win one. Unless you count the Million Pound Game. Of course I’d like to think all Trin fans are grateful that the club Is still in existence, but it doesn’t help seeing other supposedly relegation candidates do more than just survive.

The worst thing now for me is, it's how many are we gonna lose by this week! Can we keep a team under 40 points, can we get anywhere near 20 ourselves.......not can we actually dream of winning the odd game! Surely thinking like that would be following a virtual team of no-hopers, is that what we are now???

Re: CARTER pull the trigger now : Mon Oct 05, 2020 11:52 am  
The bottom line is and this is why the blame must fall on the coach is that the current squad is our strongest in all the years we have been in SL with the exception of the Pearman period. The coaches we had got us through despite the squad deficiencies to survive and in the odd season progress.
What we have now is a Coach who despite the advantages of a stable club and improved squad threatens to succeed and finally see us relegated wasting the efforts put in by previous players and coaches. I know you can quote Covid but that begs the question why as it effected us worse than other clubs, injuries, this one can actually apply to all clubs but does not fully excuse 5 wins out of 31 games.
I ask those who are quick to criticise decent how many coaches in any sport would still be in place with that type of record.
I will say again we can all stand to lose a game it is the manner of defeat that is hard to take plus I find it hard to believe that you would accept the loss of three of our best players which would almost certainly destabilise the rest. We are being told of our financial problems we face with every opportunity but we never hear this from clubs like Salford and Castleford or are they better run or do they deal with it in-house to avoid destabilising the club’s image.

Hanging on to Super League status for the last 20 years is all of a sudden a weapon to beat the club with. :CRAZY:

The fact kills the fans of our rivals but now is part of our own negative fan culture because we haven't been to Wembley.



What’s demoralising is that we are no better as a club than we were 20 years ago when we were promoted to SL!

No nearer on a stadium, no money in the club and certainly no better as a team & coaching staff!
The Wembley thing is just a symbol or reminder of our stagnation!

Yet I would say there's an argument to be made that individually we have the best bunch of players we've had and that's why there is so much heat on Chester

Peaks and troughs. Did you miss 2004, 2009, 2017 or just turn a blind eye?

Everything’s OK then!

No need to worry about inspiring the next generation of young fans, we can just quote the names of Pearman & Box at them and watch their eyes light up!
