Oh aye.... Buttons all owa t'oyle

There's no need to grovel dave I don't think he was after an apology

Yes, great season with some great results and rugby, but the fact remains and it is always at the back of my mind, but when the euphoria ends what are we going to do about this bloody ground situation???????? I suppose it'll be the main subject thread on this forum throughout the whole closed season. I don't want to sound an old misery, but everything we have built in the last couple of seasons could come crashing down around us.

This season is definitely one to celebrate for Trinity. From the moment Chris Chester came in there has been an uplift in fortunes. The quality and style of play has been great to see.
Getting things right at the business end takes a certain hard self focussed mentality of self belief. Castleford are not their yet, we have to wait and see if they are by what they do in their semi final. They have yet to prove themselves.

Having the self belief to win the big one off games is the acid test for all teams.
But Trinity should celebrate because you have come the farthest, had the bigger financial issues and even continuing as a club has been called into question.
So to see the emergence of a real team who are in every game is fantastic. Your journey has started , now you've got to build on that success and take a club with a great history back to the top table. This season is definitely one to celebrate.

Think we've certainly missed a chance this year but I'll be there to celebrate our progress and hopefully one way or the other get one over on Wigan. As it stands this morning it's not over yet. We need snookers but it's still possible.

Yes, a long shot but stranger things have happened than clubs with nothing to play for (nothing to lose) beating those who have. Salford can throw caution to the wind. Castleford can blood some youth perhaps and pick players trying to stake a claim for a GF place...you never know and Lord knows we deserve a break (no snooker pun intended).
As for negativity about our season. I guess some folk can't handle disappointment well and they lose sight of the progress we have made and the fantastic RL we have seen from our team at times. Points galore, pace to burn, players who spill their guts for us and interact with the fans superbly; I am more than happy, in fact I am delighted with our season. To focus too much on the errors we have made and chances missed is churlish. We lost by 4 pts or less on a huge number of occasions so that cannot be all bad luck (though it often was). No point crying over spilt milk. Get the videos out and look at why we lost so many games so narrowly, and try to put it right and make the signings that might stop that, I say. To do that we need to get those season tickets bought. I have read we were close to glory and will we ever get the chance again? Doom and gloom!!! If we keep these players and add a couple of key signings...WHY NOT!!??

So next Saturday COULD be our last match of the season and COULD be our last match at BV (announcement this week, I am led to believe ??), so we ALL need to get down and show our true appreciation to the boys who have provided us with the best Trinity season in probably two generations.
I was supposed to be working but have managed to get the day off, so will be there with the rest of the family

and would urge anyone who is contemplating staying at home or going to the pub to watch it on TV, to get down to BV and show your true appreciation !!

Wigan currently 0-20 down to Cas. Saturday might just mean a bit more than thanking the team for a great season at this rate. I can't see Salford beating Saints but stranger things have happened.

Its a shame that Salford play Saints on Thursday I would have preferred for all to kick off at the same time. Anyway its an opportunity to go out with a bang and a Win against a Wigan team that never lack effort. Who knows it could be a Salford win and everything to play for.

Said we needed snookers and snooker number one came in yesterday. not nice to say it but think Wigan also lost a key player yesterday so all on the Doctors mob on Thursday night now.

I'll be there to celebrate on Saturday - the boys deserve it

Burgess out for season. I wonder if Lockers will be back? Apparently they've lost all 7 games that he's missed this season.

Yesterday we (cas) did you a big favour, and give you another lifeline. You can beat wigan on saturday, they were garbage. All you can do now is win and hope. Your team have been excellent this season and i hope it continues for you.
We will beat hull on friday, so its up to you now.
Good luck

Sadly beating Wigan will be immaterial for fourth place on Saturday if Saints beat Salford on Thursday. However, if that does happen then we have to beat Wigan to finish fifth which would be a phenomenal achievement for this club this season.

Is there much monetary £££ gain from finishing 5th rather than 6th ????

Doesn't it go up in £25k?

That is what I understand.

After what I've read on the Wigan board I feel so angry at their small minded self centred ways. I've never wanted one team to beat another so much.
The unbelievable arrogance of their supporters and the spoiling entertainment stifling way they play our great game is just too much for me to bear. Come on Trinity, for every true RL supporter outside the Wigan boundary, just smash them for all of us on Saturday.

I don't like the style of Rugby Wigan play and lets be honest its not that effective. They used to throw the ball around and could hit you from most positions , they now seem more than happy to grind a win out.
I would be over the moon to skin em on Saturday .

Its not just the supporters uppo, its the players as well. I was at a meeting when Michael Shenton was asked which team did he enjoy beating most. He said " Wigan because they are such arrogant sods. They arrive already changed on the bus because they don't think the Cas changing facilities are good enough and leave straight after the game." He also said for the last 2 years they haven't even spoken to the Cas players.

No wonder he enjoy's beating them. Good luck at the weekend.

Robert Hicks ref on Saturday.

With B V going to be our home for some time to come it must be celebration time. I have great memories of the place and to be staying must be the best news for ages.

Hadley and Williams back in the squad Replacing Hasson and Randel. So its the last game in a Trinity shirt for Hadley and Williams I hope they can both have a cracker.
Game on

What a loss Hadley is going to be.
