I didn't say I took a 20 point defeat as a positive.
Just carry on with your own opinion. You clearly don't read mine.

| Quote ="Scarlet Pimpernell"I was actually being sarcastic but I admire your loyalty to a failing coach. We lost by twenty but just how much did this impact our win percentage.
It is clear we went with the minimum number of players and staff so in fact if the game had not gone ahead we would have a point difference which is worse by 4 points. We would have however avoided the risk of further injuries and also save the club transportation costs which looking at the above was a factor for the club and our percentage would be the same.
With regards the players it was Chester who said that the two missing did not have a great impact on the team and that he was going with a squad of 17.
I will give you an opportunity to enlighten us as to why you think retaining Chester is good for our future because I have not seen many on here except PT jumping to his defence.'"
You have done it again assuming I am in the Chester camp! Just because I do not vocally dig every opportunity to pull him apart. It's a results game and they speak for themselves. What I will say the last 2 seasons for sport has been a complete shambles. People have found other things to do, the sport is led by the wrong people. I support the club and given the game situation I am happy to put a line in the sand and look forward to 2022 alas I think on the horizon things will change for the sport and I not for the better. What we have is some great young talent coming through we may need it. I can see RL plodding it's much bigger that the Chester out crusade and much bigger than Trinity. I will let you get back to half or most empty glass.

Thats really gunna help to keep the club going and try and finance a better squad.
The thing is it's the club you support not the players or the coaching staff if you took your money out and other fans followed suit then the club when bust and we're not there anymore to watch people like you would be the first ones to moan that we've gone under

| How can anyone support the utter crap and mediocrity we dish out each week with a coach, nice bloke, who is unable to change, have any effect on results we expect before they happen.
Sheiiite business planning and for the first time, like many, I won’t waste my cash on a season ticket.
Bilge, utter and complete bilge, a club in free fall to the pits.

| The club must take some responsibility for their actions. I believe the fact they keep crying wolf is wearing a bit thin with many supporters. We gave them our season ticket money from last season and what did they do with it, certainly not a lot of squad strengthening.
I will say again we are in the entertainment business and the club are failing spectacularly in this department which in itself will impact on support. They face a stark choice stick with Chester and watch the revenue fall or give the supporters some hope and keep the revenue stream. It is up to Carter to decide but if he gets it wrong he will have no right to lecture supporters that they are jeopardising the club’s future when the fault lies with those in charge.

| The problem isn't this result but the others.
If we were having an okay season, pushing for the play-offs, we'd say that 40-20 away at Catalans who are currently top of the table, only having lost one game, was a result that was to be expected. The problem is that is sits in a trough of poor losses. In reality, therefore, it's not a bad result in isolation. It's the other results that are the problem.
It's a shame that we don't have the squad depth to send a second string out there and instead get a team fresh for the Huddersfield game. The teams who play the most will begin to fade the quickest.

| I read that Swinton have sacked their coach because RL is a results lead business. This obviously is not the case at Wakefield which appears to be more a chumocracy.

Dont think its the results this year but now the last 3 seasons add to this the poor signings and re signings and seeing the same things time and time again.i have had a season ticket for over 20 years for the last 3 get these knowing im probably going to miss around 30% of games due to work but its never bothered me.if cc wasnt put of contract i still would but fact is he is and for me like many others he hasn't done anything to warrant a new deal so i wont throw my hard earned away

| Only seen the highlights but big bopper was back to his blockbusting attacking best. Some very weak defense from a tired team though.

Bit of a lucky escape here, along with the Davis try ruled out for a forward pass I guess it could've been 50, again not something anyone could be encouraged about.'"
Whitley will take a while to live that one down. He's had a shocker there.

He did look strong esp the first one.but no team trys again 2 trys straight from 1pass from the ruck and believe the other only had 2 in there. Not sure how we defended throughout the game but some soft tries in there and we have just made an ok winge in tom davis look like a class half back

I agree with you there. It's not the "not sacking" but the "new contract" that bothers most people, I think. This is a team in his image and it's gone backwards. In the pre-match interview, CC talked about Catalans strength being in having its settled spine out there on the pitch yet we haven't had one at all for a couple of seasons now. Who's the first choice full back? I'm not sure anyone knows. We had Rocky and Jowitt, and then we signed Walker. Who's the first choice half-back pairing? Lino-Miller? Rocky-Miller? Rocky-Lino? I haven't the foggiest.
So, the strength of one side is the one thing we have failed to sort out in two years now.

| I know that we have been poor for most of the last 3 seasons.
However, with cash in short supply for all but a few clubs (who have very wealthy owners), it's difficult to see how Trinity can gain too much ground on the top half of the league.
Does anyone seriously believe that we can compete in monetary terms with Catalan, Leeds, Saints, Wigan, Hill FC and Warrington.
The bottom line is that at the moment we are a bottom half of the table, competing with Huddersfield, Salford, KR, Leigh and maybe Cas.
The cold hard fact is that, like many clubs we are in survival mode, which leaves us signing players like Gigot.
We may get lucky and pick up some real quality but, it's a case of hanging in there until there is some light at the end of the tunnel.
Nobody wants to see the days return when we had a couple of decent seasons, followed by some kind of financial disaster and with income massively down, what do people really expect.?
It's hard enough for folk trying to run any business at the moment but, a RL club, without fans for almost 12 months, no additional matchday sales and a drop off in S/T holders.
For now, I'm happy that we are still alive and still in SL and lets just hope that there is something better around the corner.
Wigan's 5000 home gate should be enough of a warning sign.
Things will get worse before they start to get better and if we want a club to support, running away now isnt the best thing to be doing.
We do look like we would benefit from a change in the coaching set up as we dont appear to be getting the best from what we have and EVERYONE wants to see us winning some games.
Apart from the Salford game, we have won the games that you would expect us to win and we have KR, Giants, Leigh and maybe a rearranged game v Salford to come and there may still be the odd surprise result along the way.

They have had a good backer for a while but things just don't click for them. Strange: good crowds, big season ticket take up, top coach, marquee signing, good spine. Strange

They do have an excellent coach, proven at every club he's been at and more brass than we have.
Having said that, they have also been relegated (twice) in the SL era.
