In true trinity fashion, we will win this one.

Play our best team this at moment is only chance we have of doing something other than just surving this season
we wont win a super league game with our draw for a long time so put all efforts into this

Sorry think we’re inf for a tonking

I can't see us standing up to the Big Catalans pack. Happy to be proved wrong though!

Tompkins is in great form too.

Trinity have no cup form and have not had since 1979!

We don't stand a chance with this load of bedwetters, I'm joking (just) but they don't seem to have much fight in them.

Normally we'd have a chance if we caught Catalan being complacent but I honestly don't think this lot have the desire to win even in those circumstances, some I suspect would take having to play a few extra matches in a cup run as an imposition.

Not like me this but I've totally lost faith with the current team.

A few exceptions, I think Miller and Arona are playing their hearts out, TJ is still a star and Fifita showed glimpses against Wigan, the rest I am not happy with to varying degrees. In fairness, as we are only two games in I won't name my hit list, not that I think they would care for one minute.

He could be on one leg he'd still have way too much class for us.

You had a go at me when draw was made cos i said we didnt stand a chance now look at ya

Jowitt will be back and maybe battye..by sounds of it i dont think they know when k wood will be back he says hopefully next week but the injury isnt healing as it should and he was expected to be back by now.hampshire is struggling still with his knee and a walker out for around 6 weeks

I'm not sure anyone enjoys having a go at the club, it's just an opportunity to let off some steam.
The club tend to leave themselves open to. It's not all based on this season either it's frustration built up over the last 2 seasons that's turned in to anger.

From his pre match press conference, it doesn’t sound like he is going to be changing the team up at all. Also hearing that some of the younger lads could be going on loan, can we afford to be sending them out and just sticking with the same team again and again?

No you don't

What better way of giving the fans and club a lift than going out and giving it to Catalans and coming away with a win .
Quite depressing really when we are in the mindset that we have no chance at such an early stage in the season.
Get some pride back in the shirt ,go and play your hearts out ,whoever gets on the park and prove to us ,the long beleaguered fans that playing for trinity means more than just going through the motions week in week out .

Why ,we are on TV the amount of times we have been on TV and got blown away fact .I can not remember the last time I recorded a wakey match .got home and watched the replay. Been got home from match and deleted because we lost .

I'm personally not, a bit of light relief compared to league games. I fear we will be thumped but only once

Yes It's happened to me as well so I can share your disappointment there, looking on the bright side how good is it to get rid of your frustration at the click of a button, Personally I don't think we'll win but it gives us the chance to iron out the problems we seem to be having, having lost to two of the teams tipped for the top 4 league positions, always said it's hard to predict the CC winners as the comp is so much of a lottery, keep yer chin up.

Kasiano, Bousquet, Garcia, Baitieri, McMeeken etc. Their pack is bigger, their half backs far superior, Da Costa and Morgue at hooker (is Micky Mack back?), then Tompkins in top form, it seem destined to be a long day.
Up the Trinity.

you sound like Brian Briggs ghost are you another infiltrator from the carter police. Defending 8 from 42 at 19 per cent is accepting mediocrity.

Happyjack I've been supporting this club so long that any bad result does not effect me any more.With in half a hour forgot about the match.But some times it just great to Wright down on here what I think about the present set up down at Bell View .Sorry if I drone on a bit\a lot .but got told a long time ago if any thing is on your mind. right it down and bin it witch I do and you will stop thinking about it .It does work .but the problem is that it only last 5 to 7 days then we play a match and the problem is there again

Your not on your own there. It must be an age thing or should we call it maturity?

Good teams are well drilled ,so even if they lose a player they find a way to win take Cas(will wash my mouth out with soap and water) what ever player they lose in a match can even be there 6 or 7 you know they are going to compete for the rest of the game .Teams that are not as well drilled in basic rugby get nowhere and that's were we are

That correct and it’s my point.

Something has gone wrong and it’s not as simple as just blaming the coach.

For two and a half seasons 2017 - 2019 we were just that. We were well drilled, resilient and able to claw out wins. Occasionally we were even unstoppable, ask Wigan and Hull.

Same coach and mostly the same players.

If this isn’t baffling enough the coach now has seven years as a SL coach under his belt. Whilst many of the players who were once so impressive should actually be reaching their peak, not sliding as many are.

It’s so frustrating, we should be so right and we are clearly so wrong at the moment.

Normally I’m not a million miles off as to the problem but like most ordinary fans who don’t claim any great insight, I just can’t fathom it.

None of the theories peddled on here by the doom merchants or the touch line internationals stand up to scrutiny imho.

There are snatches of the team of two years ago but never a full games worth, so frustrating.

Finally I’m not suggesting that the teams of 2017 - 19 were ever good enough to win a trophy, clearly not as they didn’t. However they were at least entertaining and sometimes gave the impression they might. As a fan of SL’s poorest club I’d be happy if we could just get back to that.

Maybe vasty it’s stubbornness in not changing or adapting or maybe we have gone stale and it’s a case of the same voice and same thing over and over

sport is about winning but adapting to situations and not doing the same things over and over and over, it’s about planning and also learning by your mistakes. Is it as good as seasons in the sun by Terry jacks

Well, we will continue to differ.

The title is based on said song and is nod to those two blisteringly hot summers.

Sandbrook is marginally right-wing but if anybody wants to know what real cowardly leadership is like then Harold Wilson last term is it. Read it and trust me Chester will seem like Churchill.
