I've put up with so much crap from folk this week - on social media and elsewhere - in fact I've had stern words with 2 friends over their negative stance, but I'm now at a point that I am only focussed on one thing this week - getting this team, you know, the one that actually wears the same colours that I do, over the line on Saturday.

Those that either don't want to play or have stuffed up their time with us can chuff off - to those that go out there on Saturday and those that coach them and support them - I wish you all the very best in this game. Go - give it your all and leave nothing in the tank, if you do that, we will all be smiling. If we come up short, let it not be said it wasn't for the lack of trying and, heaven forbid, it shouldn't be because the fans were too busy moaning about who was playing or who wasn't playing that they forgot who the real opposition are on the day!

If we lose, we lose, but I'm not expecting that as I think we have the ability to do what we have to do - so go out there lads and win this bloody game of rugby and enjoy every minute of it!

Well said and echoes my thoughs

Bloody hell TRB,I'm filling up here

but well said anyway.

I'll have some of what you're on Phil. Trying to be positive but Sunday practically finished me off. I know it's another day and all that but we don't seem to have the fighting spirit of 06. All we want to see is 80 minutes of effort

Back in 2006 I never had any doubt that we would win the game, We had players who had grit and determination who were prepared to 'die for the cause' , give or take one or two I'm not sure about the current team. It won't stop me being there on Saturday shouting and cheering for MY team and I'll still be there even if we go down to the Cahmpionship. But I just have this nagging doubt.
I hope to God I'm wrong and will profusely apologise if I'm wrong.

Fine words but defeat cannot be contemplated unfortunately I am just not sure the squad is good enough or creative enough. We had Solomona last time who could destroy a team on his own currently we do not a player or players anywhere near his ability and that I fear will be our downfall.
We can pound and pound at the line like we did at Sheffield but need guile to get through and that we do not have. Yes you can give 100% but that alone does not win a game.

Good luck this weekend from a Giants fan. I have the feeling this is a sort of future defining game for you so I sincerely hope it goes your way, I would be sad to see Trinity not in Super league next year.

That'd be four points less for you if we do go down.

I'm not scared because I don't care what the result is. Win and we see SL rugby again, lose and we get competitive games back.

Good point. Hadn't thought of that.

Defeatist attitude. You are embarrassing.

It's win win for me!

Well I hope the players have a more positive attitude and feel,that the result does matter A LOT to every other fan.

No it isn't, he's a realist and has his own opinions! Which may I add I don't always agree with.

You're joking right? Their performances this season would suggest they care less than I do!

In 2006 there was tension through out the week. I'vs barely given Saturday's game a second thought.

Any sports person who doesn't care whether he/she wins or loses is almost certainly guaranteed to lose. It is defeatist talk and my point is that the people who are playing need to focus only on winning at all costs. If they are having any thoughts that defeat also has its merits then we might as well book the champagne for the Bulls changing room right now.

I'll be shoulder to shoulder with TRB.

Let's get right behind the team and the club and complete the greatest escape.

Come on Trin !

This.
To be honest I was more worried about leaving Belle Vue to groundshare than I was about losing SL status.
OK, there's more atmosphere at SL games but it would be nice to be a force in a league of any sort again!

Back in 2006 Lyndsay,despite the players we had,the coach we had,I took the day off work (overtime

) felt crap all day did all sorts to take my mind off it,nothing worked.I can't see Saturday being any different and once again I'll be a bag of nerves,I've still got the Try hand held poster hung up in the garage.It must be great being a Whinos,Shudds,Wigan fan

a lot less stressful I'm sure.Come on Trin

make it worth it

That's hardly a surprise following your comments about the club all season, what an embarrassment to the club and it's fans you are.

With all the sniping you do at the club, the coaching staff, and the players, I can't imagine anybody could care less than you, as for not giving Saturday's game a thought, win or lose I'm sure you will will be on soon enough with your usual criticism, you could always stay away and not bother turning up, especially as you've already said your not bothered whether we win or not.

Nice to see that "holier than thou" attitudes are alive and kicking

You'd be better trying to stick together rather than pushing each other away. It's the only way clubs like ours can survive. You're all frustrated and this shows itself in different ways, but things can change in the blink of an eye. You only have to look t'other side of the common for that (and I'm well aware ours won't last; it never does!). Ultimately you want the same thing though.
If you can cheer the players on to gee them up then I'm sure you can do it for each other as fans.

All well and good and I agree with your sentiments, but, all you've stated there refers to players, Khlav is a specci, he can have a "defeatist" attitude, that attitude from one fan can't possibly affect the players, the players have to give 100% or we will lose, if my attitude affects the team, then they're too sensitive/weak for pro sport.

I seem to remember last Sunday you spitting your dummy out saying you've finished after that performance, and you would not be back again and here we are four days later back as bold as brass doing what you do best making snide comments

Are you saying I have to like the other Wakefield fans? No-one explained that to me when I started watching!
