Like Gale give over, shows how bad our coaching set up is ,if we think this will solve our problems .So easy to see if we did not get a good 6 at star of season to replace Miller we would struggle ,(and from what I have seen this season that is been kind) They have made a right B***** is of it .The coaches get paid to sort these problems out .They are way out of there depth .Could have saved loads of cash by not signing Proctor ,come on star signing 34 year old .Four goes they have had at finding a 6 this season, and there calls are getting past a joke

And once again.....who would you have signed at 6?
It's no good saying Miller as, as good as he was, he had a better pack and speed outside him and we still only scraped home.

They have that's true...
But I'd been interested to see which name(s) you would come up with and that -
a) would want to come here -
and
b) who we could afford...............

Even just available whether we could afford or not. There aren't a lot of names to choose from.

Wonder who we will sign on loan when Gale doesn’t work out.

I don’t know the stats but was under the impression that Whitbread is near the top of the league for tackles and a 13 is a middle nowadays.

I also thought that our pack struggled with yardage and that some are blowing out of their derrière after 10 mins. I know what you mean about Ashurst but can’t see the Captain being dropped plus starting Tanginoa is a gamble when he’s not played all season. His greatest impact would be from the bench when opposition are tiring.

Pitts gets the nod because of his sheer work rate.

Well as supporters of the club we can only sit back and hope this works. Some of us on here think it will solve many of our issues, personally I have my doubts but all I can do is hope he adds something.

This has been three or four hard years as a supporter and one of the things keeping me going is that if we do get relegated at least we can 'Drain the swamp'

We were told the UK would be swamped with good sighnings during the World Cup, Infact all Trinity eggs in the one basket.

That is a job for a coach, last season when W Poaching was in charge and most of cash for players had been wasted by Chester ,W Poaching brought in Whitbread and Hall both were our better players most of last season so to me a good Coach can find players if the want to.95 % shore we would have not had 4 different players play at 6 in 10 games if he was still here

Has Luke Gale actually been confirmed yet?

Yes I remember that particular RL ‘spin’ from the club…..

No announcement yet so maybe the thread was not needed......

Let’s see if Luke Gale can succeed where Wally Lewis couldn’t 40 years ago, preventing Trinity from being relegated…..

Well at least we know.
Of course his first game is against Warrington.
I'm almost tempted to wrap him in cotton wool till Hull but I guess he needs to get used to the team.

Well he’s here now and i don’t suppose we can be much worse so lets hope he has the desired effect. Sounds like we made some extra money available from somewhere to bring him in.

Milnes has also now returned to Hull KR.

I will support trinity to the end this season win or lose but if we do get relegated it’s not the end.

We get Sunday rugby again. Get to see new places. I would be fine for a year but only if we were to be a big fish in a small pond and stay full time like Fev.

Winning most weeks would see many fans return too.

We would have to rely on youth and solid performers to stay full time though and no big money players.

Huge risk, especially as it is until the end of next year.

No doubting he's been a good player, but has recently taken a step back.

My nephew works in the media department at Keighley, and said despite the dropping down a league, has been disappointing. To me this is a concern.

Still a long way to go yet in the season, hopefully he can rally the team, and guide them around the pitch.

We have our Championship scrum half for next season, to replace the current incumbent. We cannot deny the average age of our first team must be one of or maybe the oldest in SL. With age comes injuries and lots of wrappings.

Well we certainly need to try something cos what we're doing now isn't anywhere close to working, whether he is the answer only time will tell.

Would he be my first/second/third choice? Nope.
Is it worth a punt? Absolutely.

What's the worst that can happen? We still don't win any games and still keep going 40 minutes after 40 minutes without scoring a point?

We have done away with mad Monday at the seasons end in favour of a Darby and Jones trip to Morecambe to avoid over stimulation of the squad.

Nothing to lose, i'd try him as captain for a few games.
Welcome Luke.

From the day WJL left the club (no wins) … to the end of the following season in the lower league (where we finished in the lower half of the league)… was probably the worst performing team I have seen in the trinity kit…
