New 3 year deal announced

That's great news!

Brilliant news

A bit of good news!

Hallelujah !!!!!!!

Great news

Great timing by the club.

First of many good bits of news to come, well I think they are anyway.

Certainly is BG...I'm liking your new avatar too...is that Tinny's actual shirt from the Huddersfield game ??

More positive than the actual signing is he has extended for 3 years, instead of the optional 1 year.

Let's just hope he is fit to start the season

It is FIL - had to swap him for my 1989 white British Coal shirt for it!


But, honoured to have the last shirt that he wore in the RW&B.
Will probably wear it to the Reserve Final on Sunday


Even if I have washed several times and its still not clean!

What ?????......you've ACTUALLY washed Tinny's DNA off it ???

It bl*ody stank mate!
Mrs BG wouldn't let me bring it in the house!


Its still a bit mucky anyway.....

Pleased, really good news, he went really well for us last season. Let's hope the signings that follow will go as well .

Was immense for large parts last year in the middle. Excellent news.

Great news, our most consistent forward for the 2nd half of the season, gives us some great go forward.

Amongst the uncertainty at the moment, this is good news

The only uncertainty at the moment is from some posters on here, why not just wait and see, it's less stressful.

It happens every chuffing year. The moment the last game is done the doom mongers are out. I could actually name them, they are as predictable as the tides.

Every little thing is a disaster and if we don’t have the Australian test team signed before the first leaves fall from the tree panic sets in.

Every flipping club is in some state of flux at this time of year. We have about 6-8 places to fill, same as most clubs. We’ve lost three influential player but two were down to age. We have also lost a steady player in Batch and a promising youngster in Aydin.

Standard for most clubs in truth, when like us they are leaving a relatively stable era and rebuilding as has to be done at some point.

The only genuine concern is that we have not yet announced the new coaching set up. That is an unknown but one has to assume that’s well in hand and has been for a while. This also may explain why recruitment is yet to begin in earnest.

This idea that all the best players are signed up already is total rubbish. But what is even more ridiculous is all the experts on here proclaiming that we have signed Gale and whoever else are talking utter rubbish as ever.

We may well sign Gale but that will be down to the new coach and nobody on here knows who he is. Still they won’t admit they are wrong and will continue to chuck in the names of any remotely contentious player to stir the pot and demonstrate how knowledgeable they are.

So I agree, wait and see. Some of our best signings have been late in the day, Whitbread being one.

Exactly, you pop onto a particular Facebook group and it’s like a cesspit of negativity. We haven’t even close finalised our squad yet and pre season is a couple of months away yet. It’s fine to have an opinion but even for trinity fans it’s too much.

I choose to remain upbeat until the squad is complete and coach is in place and have built their team.

I agree. The Whitbread signing along should be raising smiles.
He is a proven player, not a risk, who is well sought after and he's signed for us.

I agree let's wait and see and most importantly keep supporting the club.

I also see it as a bit of a relief PT - thought he might have been leaving too...
But delighted he's staying - and for a few years too.
He can now have Tini's shirt & number (not mine, next season's obviously)
