Load of bunkum ,it’s a forum and forums are for debate as long it’s in good taste . Unless you know something I don’t you are still allowed to voice you opinion whether that is positive or negative in this country and on forums .We all want the same thing from this club and that is a competitive team ,unfortunately at this present time we are far from that prospect .So to expect fans to blindly follow a club that they invest their hard earned cash in only to watch it slowly go down the rattle and keep quiet is frankly ridiculous.

| The thing Is, everyone else in the lower reaches of the league looks to have improved.
They have moves and a structure.
What happened to the move when Grix made the extra man round the back and we scored a lot of tries off It?

How do you know all this ? Have you ever met or spoken to Michael Carter ?

Constructive debate is good. What we get a lot of on here is not constructive. Some of the threads on here have simply become platforms to almost vilify anyone connected with running the club.i Social media has become obnoxious and unregulated, I never poison the dam thing, it concerns me that forums such as this could end up the same way. I’ve no problem with people having different views to others, my objection is the way some views are projected.

I class MC as a friend and have been in his company plenty of times and spoken about all things rugby and you are way off, but you are entitled to your opinion as everyone else is.

People like avenger are parochial and think you can’t learn the game unless your born to it. After nearly a decade in the game at a very high level I think MC knows the game and that Trinity are very much a part of his life.
I think it was a very disingenuous thing to post by a poster who should know better.
It’s also a myth, JK is Cas through and through but imho is the best coach we have had since Ken Trail. The list of Trinity old boys who failed miserably is a long one, with only Toppo and Kelly having any real success,
Ditto the people running the club.
Most notable of all the players, name the last Wakefield born player who signed for the club and became a genuine legend. Its not Ellis or TJ, as yet it’s not your lad though maybe one day.
Nope it’s mainly men from the other side of the world who’ve kept Trinity alive. Frankly the last people I want in charge at Trinity are people from the not so Merrie city, they seem to be poison.

Whatever his motives were, he DID save the club, absolutely no doubt about it.
If he has made mistakes, which I 'm sure that he has, I guess that he's paid for the privilege.
If you or I were in charge, we could do the same. Mind you, it wont be me. No money and nowhere near enough nous to run a RL club.

| Those who defend our current coaching set up when do you think we have a problem or does it not matter and we just struggle on with Chester until we are relegated and he leaves anyway. I will admit I struggle to find anything positive carrying on with Chester but I will let the like of PT etc. to convince me otherwise.

No definitely not.
It was when I got changed into my gear.
I looked down at the badge, and thought that the colours, the badge, my Dad taking me to my first game back in the late 70’s, despite what may or may not have happened, the fact nobody in the club are bigger than that.

There’s a few x Wakey players go to the same gym, Paul Broadbent , Willy Poaching, Joe Hirst, Matty Wildie, Finny, always got time for a natter about the past years, just takes your mind off the present struggles and a nice catch up.

Seriously though mate, i just got there late this afternoon, and thought, there is a professional sports club here, with a proud history, and there are people, fans, players and coaches it seems, scoring off each other. At the end of the day, there is something bigger, the colours we wear, the badge.

Well said Eastern. Lot of turmoil at the moment but I look forward to when we are all just talking about the rugby we just watched on Sunday afternoon at Belle Vue..... Where we beat Cas in the last minute.
And I'm wearing my Trinity top right now.

At the end of the day PT we are, or i would like to think we are fans of the club.
We all may have different views of where we see where we are at as a club, but we probably all have the same aspirations. Peoples journey though, of getting from A to B, may well be a bit different.
