Agree about the injures , good 13 when on field, but was hoping we would sign quality instead of quantity to push for top five


Very few signings so far but, the season hasn't quite finished yet and the club will release them as and when.
Yes, Hampshire has gone and we will miss his utility value but, young Walker looks to be a decent FB, maybe better in the position than Hampshire.

For us to push for a top 5 spot, we definitely need our best players to remain fit and with our player spend, this will always be the case.
We just dont have the spend to have too many quality players in the reserves and that isn't going to change.

Yes, we had a poor season but, could ANY side have achieved their objectives with such a decimated squad.

As for worrying about next season, as a Trinity fan, I'd be worried if I wasn't worried as I'd probably have stopped breathing.

Cheer up man, this time next year...……...

I hate to say this but Castleford did quite well to cover their injuries.

Oh come on give your club a break. I don't like making excuses and I don't think that it was just injuries that did for us. However, I do believe we had this season's worst injury crisis and by some way. Twenty plus operations, 3 dream team players sidelined for 2/3 of a season, our talisman playing on one leg for half a season. It wasn't just the numbers it was the ferocity, longevity and timing, much worse than Cas.

That idiot Barry McDermott kept saying we have a small squad, we don't, but the injury combinations would have crucified any team.

You shouldn't need luck with our squad to avoid relegation, but you do need it to get top five and we got none.

Although Gale was out for the season and they did have plenty of injuries, they start with a slightly better squad, with a little more depth than we do and although this isn't a measuring contest, we seemed to suffer more players out and for longer and in key positions but, yes, Cas did pretty well considering their problems.

Interesting point about Castleford,think there main difference is there coach is the best in S L. No sentiment with him when he thinks a player is past it he gets rid . Same when a player starts been injury a lot .Gale gone to Leeds, how many games as he played for Cas in the last two seasons.He also goes for quality replacement .and he knows the importance of having a quality 6 ,7,and 9.does not matter how good your out side backs are if your 6,7 and 9 are not abel to get the ball to them your going to struggle .and he always gets 13 fit players on the pitch

Been on holls for a few week, so catching up with the new signings.Got to say very underwhelming, players who are not geting any were near the first team , players who are near there end of there playing time..Two players who played in a team that got relegated .Last year we signed well.We have lost Randel and Rocky. two very good players, and expected the same quality as replacement but way of in my mind


Well we got Hampshire from Leigh didn't we?

No I think we got him off the dole, I think Leigh had cancelled all contracts by then.

Not sure about the panic other than we have this one every year. Also worth noting that Tanganoa is technically a new signing who we got slightly earlier than expected, people have very short memories they really do. Tanganoa for me is one of the best NRL signings SL has made in years.

Leeds made a move for Gale and waved pounds notes in front of Cas. Hardly "getting rid".
Slightly O/T but you could say Cas are still a selling club.

They didn't want to sell. They originally said no.
It was Gale who wanted to go when they made the offer.

Making money on a player who has hardly played for two years is good business to me. Doesn’t make you a selling club.

We'll see next season how good a deal Leeds have got BUT my point was more in response to the post saying Cas had "got rid".
