Another very good overall team performance. Is it the fish and chip paper effect, I don’t know, but whatever has happened over the past week and a half seems to be working well.

I think a lot on here, including myself can dish up a large slice of humble pie. I think at the time, some criticism was justified.

Moving onto next season, I still think we need a few new bodies in the squad, with a proper organiser, and some fresh blood in the front row. That bit of extra quality may just help us get over the line more often in those close games.

If we get these, and get them right could potentially have a really good squad overall for 2021.

Typical
Just when Trinity start to find some form, everyone else wants to pack up.
Wonder if Catalan will be given a semi final spot as the revised rules stated that a qualifying club had to complete 15 rounds ?

Maybe they will opt for top 6 ?

Your other team aren't doing too well, are you back for good now then?

What other team?

Must be my mistake, I thought you said after your little tantrum while on holiday that the mighty robins were now your chosen team and that you would be by your wife's side at their games and you'd done with Wakey, if it helps I'll put up your post for reflection.

He did it was an epic tantrum.

I have actually read back on these posts, and at the time it was mostly set around David Fifita and his refusal to wear the tracker, and what I had been informed regarding the club and COVID protocols. Bearing in mind, it was over 2 months ago, and the club have probably ended up with more positive COVID tests than any other club, and we have only turned the corner on our season 8 days ago, following a news article, maybe some of those were justified.

As for turning to other colours, what rubbish, I have merely pointed out on a few occasions that off the pitch I think a certain other side are ran better, doesn’t mean to say that is reflected on the pitch. I could say there are other sides ran better, does it mean I support them, no.

Take for example crowds, in 2017, their average crowd was higher than ours, when they were in the Championship. Not too long ago, a new housing estate was being put up, and the chairman said at the time, when these are finished were going to do some marketing, to try and boost revenue further. Have we came up with anything like that for when City Fields is complete?

The minus 4 comment, sometimes you need to put priorities in place financially. In our house, it is 3 adult tickets and one child. It does add up, and when they play like they have, for some that cost, to me, and probably others is not priority.

Some one as told me season tickets out next month .Will be interesting to see who stays and goes and if Mr Chester goes for Quality over quantity .Ok I will eat a bit of humble pie but some thing as happend over the last few weeks at Wakefield .Everything about the team on the field as changed from tackling to movment of the ball and attitude.

Save me a slice. To be fair, something did go wrong. Who knows, lack of confidence lack of continuity with training enforced by isolation. But now we have a more settled situation,we are seeing their true and Chris Chester's true worth and ability. Maybe we've all gone a bit stir crazy during lockdown!

If they could bottle whatever it is, we could make a fortune.
Jowitt was talking about training being "fun" again so, who or what has changed.

Our pack has certainly been on top in the last few games and Fifita played his best game of the season last night (by some distance) and on the back of a more dominant pack, Miller too, had his best game of the season.

A definite change of mindset from the senior players. Many of the younger ones will always give 100%

Although he doesn't get much of a mention, young Bachelor also looks to be right on top of his game with or without the ball.

I have noticed a lot of "cross-over" plays with Reece, TJ, BJB, Bill et al on the opposite wing or middles.
That defo wasn't happening before the Shudds game.
Think Bill and BJB being back have made a difference and Senior was good last night - even if he did bomb that try.
Over on the Dirty Leeds forum, they are bemoaning the fact that "teams like Wakefield and others have a better 3/4 line than we do."


Diddums. Go and dry yer eyes.

Regardless of the recent upturn in form, I do think they will be down.

There are people who will have been laid off due to COVID19, maybe even some on here, and I would imagine it's very difficult job hunting in this current climate. People do have to cut they're cloth accordingly.

What CC, MC and JM need to do is identify where they need to strengthen, and just focus on that. I think in the past we may have been a bit guilty in getting someone in because they were available

Poor dirty Leeds (especially Ferris).
You have to love the commentary when Hampshire took a shoulder to the head, when they suggested, at first, that the ref was being picky.
If Hampshire doesn't bounce straight back to his feet, that's a red card.

There wasn't one of their players last night that I would have preferred in our 17, not one.

Leeming was a handful in the first 10 mins but apart from that, none

TBH, I dont think Ben Thaler saw it that well - he got instruction from the video ref - although it should have been advised as a red.

When was the last time we kept a SL team down to one try?

Without wishing to be unnecessarily negative after 3 very enjoyable games, but reading posts about humble pie strikes me as a bit premature. I'm glad for Chester's sake on a human level that things have turned round the last 3 games but that doesn't mean that what went before didn't happen, nor that after 3 wins all of a sudden he's definitely the right man to take us forward and make big decisions that we can't afford to get wrong about recruitment for next year. The jury is still more than out in my opinion. There are still a lot of things that need addressing and things that baffle me. I'm still circumspect about where we actually are as a club under his tenure irrespective of the last 3 results

Just because you eat a bit of humble pie does not mean you think things are fine .We all know if we lose our top players we will be struggling next year .We have got to wait and see .Think some fans will hang back on S T till they see who goes and who joins .But think you got to give a bit of credit for the way they have played the last3 games

Really?
I was rock bottom when we let Willie Poching go to Leeds but not renewing my ticket never entered my head. I can understand that some would not renew should we ever get relegated but not prior to yet another season at the top table, irrespective of our personnel.

Correct, how on earth does not buying ASAP a season ticket help anybody, it’s a twisted logic imho. Sure if it’s a money issue I get it or you’ve fallen out with the game but otherwise no.

The biggest issue regarding season tickets will be to convince fans that they will be able to actually attend games, which doesnt look that likely, especially for the start of the season.
Some kind of pay per view TV seems sensible but, this would of course be in direct competition to the Sky deal and at a time when the TV deal is being discussed, this could be very damaging.

For this reason and with cash getting tighter, there is likely to be a fall in numbers renewing their S/T's, which will hurt the club massively.

Probable, some kind of "membership", giving free TV access (if this is possible) and admission to games, when this becomes possible would be the way to go but, it will be a tough sell.

However, Trinity fans, on the whole, are very loyal and we can see that the club still needs all the help it can get.
It's vital that as many fans as possible stick with the club and re new their memberships.

We need to get any new merchandise on sale a.s.a.p.to capitalise on Christmas

No it doesn't but it implies you think you were wrong about something or need to be apologetic. I personally don't think that anyone needs to be, certainly not at this point

Well another bit of good news alongside the better performances from the team, was the announcement the other day of Asus still being on board for next season. I don't know what the financial aspects of the deal are, but having a brand like that associated with us is no mean feat, and to have them backing us in these current uncertain times is pretty good going for all connected to the club!

STs may fall because of the uncertainty, but I'll keep my 2 tickets going (I recognise not everyone can do that without getting something back).

I'd say it's the perfect time for people to migrate to Commit6.

On the streaming stuff - I seem to recall talk that ST holders would get the games streamed and they were working out how to deliver PPV for those that aren't. The complexities include servicing "away" fans also.

Does anyone know if you can use club shop vouchers towards ST costs...if so vouchers for an xmas pretty from a few family members can make quite a decent hole in the overall ST cost

I don't think so.
