Bang on the money Slugger.
Trinity are still doing exceptionally well for a club with their resources.
If SL standings were based on spend, we would be 12th every season and to have finished 5th last time (and only seconds away from 4th) has caused some fans to "expect" similar or better this time around.
There are concerns with some of our attacking plays and generally, we're not worrying our opponents enough but, the reality is that we are still punching well above our weight and with all the big clubs in decent form, we will be doing well to finish 6th / 7th and anything above would be a huge bonus.
We're all still hacked of about going out of the cup with a whimper but, when you look back over the past 6/7 seasons, this is just about as good as it gets and with Cas on the slide, there is always a chance that we could sneak up the table.
Come on Trin !
I'll be honest I well hacked off with being knocked out of the cup, but then its just silverware I suppose as the money is in super league,
look at it from a fans point of view, 50 years on from losing in the final against our local opponents we had a chance to put something to bed with our best team in years but its now water under the bridge,
I even had a gut feeling that had we put our energies into it we could of still a top 8 finish as well as decent run in the cup and even put a bet on it which I never do, had known we would of gone out resting players I would of given the money to the club instead.
I'd of loved to see what the Wakefield public had of done had got there, could of been an increase in attendances but now I feel there's nothing to play for,
do I think we get within the top 4, no, we've lost too many to the teams above us
when I think back to the cups that was available to win back in the 70s there is only 3 now, 4 if you count Adam Watene's trophy
I still think we have the right team and managed by the right coach, I know we have the right management and great set working with them
patience is a virtue but I'm running out of years
