Why are our players announcing they are leaving online rather than the club announcing this first? What are people's thoughts on the way this news is being relayed? Should the club be asking them to wait for the official announcement, or is it something that you think doesn't really matter?

I dont care who announces it but do feel it should be made clear whos leaving for tomorrow games not all fans go away games esp with the players like fifita arona miller

[iObviously[/i Big Dave & Tini are doing their bit to raise the attendance tomorrow!


Brilliant players-in-the-team marketing!

Looks very amateur of the club

The only reason I bring this up is because I saw the Warrington announcement and it was in stark contrast to ourselves. It would have been a good marketing tool to try and entice more people to the game as well I reckon.

Everyone of the Warrington departures has been leaked out vefore

Both have been great servants and they desrve the right to say farewell on their last home game. The fans also deserve the right to say their thanks and goodbye. Fair play to them for making this known

Trinity are not in the market to entice supporters to attend games.
SHAMBLES

The club doesn’t want to comment therefore the players have to do it themselves.

When I get a bit of a break I think I might put all these quotes of yours together. It's laughable but extremely tiring.

I think the club forget the part supporters play, we pay our money but are not entitled to know from the club who is leaving and what if any plans they have. It is appalling that they leave it to the individual player to confirm their departure with silence from the club, no thank you for your service. It took WP to thank Batchelor now I may be wrong but did the club post anything. What will they do with the others wait until the season ends and then announce the full departure list. If I was a player leaving I would announce it myself because the club are leaving it a little late.
With regards the stadium they must feel we are children who do not understand the complexity of the proposed changes to the original structure hence they do not say anything and still haven’t despite we children working it out. I am sorry Vasty but it is not a minor change especially with it impacting the capacity.
The club are just leaving an information void, which will always lead to fears and questions about what we are doing to fill it. I know some of you will not care about any of this but how many will buy season tickets without the void being filled with announcement of signings and not just the usual shirt fillers.

So? Warrington have made a good, proper official announcement before any of the players commented. What didn’t happened is the individual players have had to release it before the club got around to it as is the case here. That for me is pretty poor and a missed opportunity to promote the game on the back of it.

I will not have to say anything if the club ever got their act together. I know you have a low threshold for accepting their actions, unfortunately some of us retain our independence of thought. I see a current club with no communication skills or ability to market games and now proposing to reduce the maximum capacity for the newly developed stadium.
They have always been the same which would be laughable if it was not so important to carry the supporters along with them and it is now growing very tiring.

Saw through you at "entitled".

I'm not sure I've ever seen any independent thought from you.
All you do is contradict anything that is said.

If they retain a player you say they are ignoring the young guys
If they want to retain a young player you moan we are letting established players go.
If they try to make the stadium better quality you say it should be bigger
If the club announce something like TJ you complained they didn't give him chance to say goodbye
When players say goodbye the club should have done it first.

Of course you'll be right on an individual basis eventually but only after the fact. You didn't think of it yourself.

You may like to be kept in the dark that’s your choice but not good for marketing the club to sell tickets.

Plus they have announced quite a list of signings before they confirmed the full list of departures.

I don't feel the need to know every little thing the club is thinking and doing.

Sometimes it would be nice to know more, and I can certainly agree that communication could be much better.

I don't, however, feel like I have an entitlement to know.

Tini's message said this:

"After 7 years at @WTrinityRL tomorrow night will be my last home game!
I'll farewell our fans after the match with the other lads leaving ✌️

I've got nothing but respect for Michael, John and the board for everything they have done for my family and I.
Michael has had my back since I first arrived at the end of 2015 and I'll forever be grateful."

Seems like he's OK with how it's all been done

You were wrong. Yes it did.



There's actually a thread with the link to one source on here.

Just for reference.
When I said, Young Guns, I meant players like Murphy and Hall. The conversation was about Players being retained so I didn't imagine someone would assume I meant players in academy that haven't signed professional terms.

That’s two players who without doubt need to be signed to longer contracts but I think that losing TJ would cover this don’t you ?

I have looked through the news on the website which includes something from today. I cannot see any mention there regarding the Batchelor, Arona or Fifita departures. I am sure you will be able to point me to where I can find the club’s thanks to these players.

Isn't that exactly the point I made that you contradicted?

Please stay with your random contradictions. Maybe write them down so you can keep track.
