After watching Leeds not get out of first gear on Friday and pull Hull KR apart (injuries before and during notwithstanding), it would be very hard to see past them taking a third successive crown.

Before Saints showed glimpses of their best again last night, I thought this would be the year for a team outside those two to make it to Old Trafford, including us. Now, I'm not so sure...

Doesn't hurt as much as the semi-final defeat last year, but we just need to build on this and make the play-offs again next year.

ryans in the wrong position for me, should be a second rower but that's another story now

Ryan has gone as far as he will with us, I'm afraid. He has everything he needs to be a top class centre EXCEPT the brains/instinct - call it what you will. I really hope Tony Smith can take him to the next level, 'cos if he had the instinctive skills of Gidley, Senior or any of the top centres he would be world class.

consistently good over the last 5 weeks over 2 years.









tried in the last 2 weeks to feed his winger and not managed it yet !

me too

Got up early on Sunday Morning to catch the back end of the Game... (very late night on Saturday!)

And was a bit dissapointed but reflecting on the I can have no complaints at the developemnt we have shown both as a team and a club...

Fifth in the league... bhome play-off and the best set of juniors ever seen at the club!! and genuine plans for a new stadium.

for the players leaving...

Ryan... enjoyed watching him ain a Trinity Shirt.. an unrefined and raw talent... (not sure he has it in him to become refined... but time will tell)

Brad... wish we had had this guy in his 20s... never quite fired on all cylinders for us but a great hoour for him to wear the Trinity 9.

Scott... had really high hopes after a great world cup, made lots of errors in the last two games, but, to his credit he stuck his hand up and made himself available to be in the position ... suffered from being a utility player IMO

Ricky... along with Moore I thought the club had lost their collective minds when we signed him... I was so so wrong, a players player, does the dirty work and does it well.

Olly... To lose one quality forward named Olly is unfortunate... to lose two is careless... will miss his hard work and honesty.

Matt... oh Matt so so dissapointing... a really good player who just didn't fit!

Jamie... great clubman and super service given... deserves good fortune in his life and I hope he gets it.

Danny... totally spoiled it for himself... !!!

Snitchy... I feel used by him... had a great season but!


Players coming in:

Terry Newton... hated playing against him... not too old to make a real impression.

Glenn Morrison... a genuine world class second row forward... been unlucky with injuries at the Bulls, thel ate season upsurge of form for Bradford ties in with Morrisons return to the team. (and also Newton's injury... just to show the balance)

Shane Tronc... seen this guy a lot this year and he has been monstering the opposition forwards... a really big guy with a subtle offload.

Darryl Millard... cant get in the Bulldogs side, but when you consider that he is being kept out by Dally M winners Jamal Idris and Josh Morris, it shows the environment he has been playing in. Very talented player with magic hands.

Ben Jeffries... return of the prodigal... he is the type of player who splits opinion... but I like him, a proven try scorer and excellent support player.

+1 (Paul Johnson?) quality utility, great role model for the youngsters.

and the kids .... need I say more.


I really like the way things are looking...
