I’m certainly not happy with the way things have been sliding recently, but if you think we haven’t come a long way from 2015, where we were getting beaten by 40 or 50 points nearly every week, including the 80-0 at Warrington.

I do agree though if the club says they’re going to have a crack at the cup and the top 5, they can hardly expect the fans to not be disappointed at the recently meagre attempts of doing both.

But this is definitely a long way from 2015.

I've also heard aiming for silverware mentioned in interviews. I know injuries haven't helped, but even so, we weren't plagued with injuries when we got hammered by favourites for the drop, London, twice. And the team we put out on Friday was of good enough quality to beat the worst Leeds team I've seen in probably the last two decades.

To be taken seriously in a push for the play-offs, those types of games should not just be wins, they should be wins by 40 or 50 points. Two hammerings and a nilling kind of make fans lose the belief.

My biggest criticism of the team is conceding too many unnecessary penalties. That was big contributor to defeat by Catalans at Magic Weekend and again on Friday night. Having watched Chris Chester’s post match interviews it appears he doesn’t see it as an issue. Until he does and instals more discipline into the team performance we will continue to make winning even more difficult than it already is.

You need to open your eyes



Ownership of the ground and 3 top half of the table finishes would suggest otherwise.
FFS, we're all disappointed about getting done by Leeds (and London) but, a little bit of balance is also neccessary.

nuff said.

We haven't had 3 top half finishes.

Jebus.....don't we have a sad old sack of manic depressive, supposed supporters at this club

to lose is to provoke an epic dummy spit cry-a-thon that doesn't look out of place in the sand pit at pre school

just sort yourselves out, see the quack...get some meds, but more than anything get behind your ******* team

We’ve been letting Wigan and Hudds catch us up. London, Leeds and Hull KR are only three wins behind us. Time for the team and the coaches to pull their fingers out.

The London result increases the pressure on us. We are lucky Wigan managed to win at Hull KR.
It is not one result that unsettles the supporters but the performances over several games. We have not been good and it could be said on recent form we are probably bottom of the league.
I understand a team can have a one or two game dip but we are currently lacking any form. We allowed the bottom club to rack up 42 points and could not score against the third worse club.
I hope we quickly turn things around but what I fear is we are looking for excuses which suggests we are out of ideas and options. We have blamed the referee and even once the touch judge.

We haven’t been letting teams catch up, these teams have played well to beat whom they have . We’ve been forced to
Play a team short of 5:6:7 first and even second choice players in some cases . Plus then playing players that are not fit or ready to play . Nothing much you can do in these circumstances and it may get worse before it gets better .

I was being ever so slightly sarcastic

when the break was made rocky got with him ready for the pass, the player making the break is totally responsible for what happens next. Did he draw the fullback no did he go right to take the full back away no did he try to turn him away from the support runner no and lastly why did he pass if he couldn’t get a good ball out, it’s basic stuff you learn kids put the fullback where you want him. He broke through and didn’t know what to do simple as that.

London is our last game of the season and my dread is and lets be honest its totally Trinity's style, that this will be a relegation decider. I thought those days were gone but its more than possible, it has RL written all over it!

I don't give a stuff who or whats to blame as its all obvious and unavoidable to a great extent. However London don't care about that nor do any of the teams below us. Regardless of who is or isn't available we need to get a win. It can be done, London just defeated a team that whooped us and lets not pretend here, even a half fit Trinity should be a match for London and at the moment we clearly aren't.

I can't say this enough, I'm not blaming anyone, but I am worried, we need to find something and soon.

If I get a kicking for saying this so be it.

Your sounding like this is the first time you have seen us in this situation.. Back the whole squad what will be will be

I agree with what you say but Hampshire made it harder for him. He either needed to keep a straight line or move away but running closer took his options away.
I still think he should have kept the ball and dummied but Hampshire is partly to blame in my opinion.

and make no mistake about it are in the relegation dog fight this year now!!!!

it could be 80-0 in two weeks time

Agreed - between them, they did just about everything wrong; and when it became obvious to the ball carrier that he had no options, he should have dummied the fat lad and tried to make back the space that Hampshire had taken away.

All hindsight I know, but it did look fairly simple.

All ifs, buts and maybes. Remember Batchelor chose to dummy and threw a try away against Catalans at ‘Magic’.
Can’t remember him copping the criticism Tanginoa is , who in my opinion had a good game against Leeds.

Nobody is criticising him - merely having a very civilised discussion about how that break was mishandled by both of the players involved.

When coaching 2v1 & 3v1 situations you task the ball carrier with fixing then dragging the defender away from the support.

You would also task the support to keep some depth and width while timing their run.

Just watched the game back, I can’t see why any individual player is getting criticised. Yes there was the odd dumb mistake but with weather like that it’s hardly going to be free flowing rugby. The new lad from Manly is 3 games in and clearly has potential. He’s hard running and has an offload in him, give him the chance.

On a dry track and with all that pressure in the first half we put points on the board regardless of the opposition.

I can see why people are annoyed losing 10-0 but I don’t think it’s as bad as 90% of the posts on here suggest

I'm annoyed for various reasons.
Lack of ideas in front of the line.
Leeds are a very poor side.
Being nilled at home.

Yep. And the fact that it was on TV again.

Spoke to a lapsed fan i know yesterday. His phrase was..

‘I’ve watched them on the box for the last two weeks, i see they are still just as c**p as they were when i was going down. Glad i don’t waste my money anymore’.

Performances like Friday are extremely damaging. The ‘floating’ fans need no excuse to not bother and time and time again we give them that perfect excuse. And they care not one jot about injuries and the balance sheet and the like. It’s results and performances that count and we are struggling there tight now.

Took my two grandchildren to the game on fri ,not ideal weather by any means but players and fans were flat ,nothing to shout and get excited about .Asked both last night if they want to go to Salford and drew a blank .kids need entertaining to keep them interested in our Great game ,unfortunately we aren’t producing that excitement that they crave ,with just two sparks in the whole game ,our break up field then their try the other way .Im trying my best to get my kids n grandkids into it ,but it’s hard work especially without our crowd pleaser fifita on the park.
