I'm very encouraged by the signings made so far both from outside and inside the club.
The half backs MUST be addressed though as they are pivotal in any team.
Moore looks likely to be the starting scrum half but the Stand off position worries me. Jeffries at his peak was a good stand off but we have to go back to Nigel Wright for the one that was a bit 'Special' and that's what we need! We need to find one and I don't know of one in this country who fits the bill and we certainly haven't got one on our books so who's it going to be?

Elston said last tuesday its important when we are under the cosh we get a clever half back in to kick us out of trouble that to me sounds like this will be our big signing of the summer a new half.

henry paul?

Let's sort the Trinity fans from the Wildcats fans.

Who else was on the terraces of Central Park signing "we don't need your cheque book" when Henry beat Wigan on his own that night?

Just another thing to thank Topless for!

An 18 year old kid took Wigan apart that night. One of my fondest memories.

Ahh happy days

LyndsayGill & PopTart:










What a night. As an 8 year old (who had already been attending for 3 seasons) I honestly believe that was the night I truly became a Trinity fan.

Would actually be interesting to know how many people from the terraces that night are still kicking about BV.
I know 1 who is sadly not. Although I bet he's got the best view in the house now!!! Still moaning about WT!

I took a mate with me who is a Cas fan. Even he talks well of that game.

I had a dream last night we had signed Jamie Soward so I am either Phsychic or disappointed now

Oops! forgot about him - one like him then!

I was there. I think Tuigamalla made his debut that night and was completely overshaddowed by Henry Paul. Pity Wigan used the cheque book and signed him.

Paul played 6 or 1 for us. I have a recollection he was at FB that night at central park. Anyone with a better memory than me?

Sure he played at 1 and if memory serves me correctly it was snowing?

thought so - conway at 6?

Have the match on tape/DVD

ive been watching since i was a wee lad
best memory for me is toppo being carried off the field by the fans when we got promoted back into division 1
T-O * T-O-P * T-O-P-O * TOPPO!
(i must have been about 6!)
ahhh the glory days of collecting muddy tie ups from my childhood heroes

I was there,
Remember telling my father Henry was best s/o we had had since the legendary Harold Poynton n David Topliss.
Wished him all the best at Tops gym Outwood after his last game for us.
A really nice guy as well as brilliant player.

HP was a FB when he played with us.

On his last game I got his sock ties!- A very big deal to a young adoring fan!

Snap!

Remember the Wigan game well, went with John Jackson (RIP) and loads of banter with the Pie eaters....."who the 'ell is that you've got at full back?".......Henry Paul.Junior Kiwi Captain!

Me too

thought the great Adam Knighton was at full back that night? or was he on the wing!!! now he had a great side step!!! Great Crigg player!!!

Me and the (now) missus went with TRB.... it was snowing here, so I phoned my colleagues over at Wigan nick to see what the situation was over there and was told it wasn't snowing there, so we went .....best decision I ever made .....







(Should we rename this thread "STAND-OFF FROM 1994 ????)

yep I was there with Fordy
Still have the 2 min highlights from Look North (when they actually said nice things about us!)
Watched them with my dad who said who's that nutter jumping up and down next to Dave .. err that would be me
