Start of the new season and he is referring to us at Wakefield Trinity Wildcats. Hasn't he received the memo of our name change!

Annoying isn't it

'Wildcats!'



All of them talking down Trinity's prospects this season...being tipped for the wooden spoon.



Finished 8th last season with a much weaker squad.....now greater strength in depth. Hope the Trinity squad see that and use it for additional motivation.

We have a pack that should be able to now compete with any other in the competition.

If Sam Williams had signed with one of the fashionable teams he would have been earmarked as a top SL signing prospect by Sky but not even mentioned.

Not to mention the backs have real pace and we have the SL young player of the year 2016....

Noticed the only comments made about Wakefield were negative ones.

I usually think about getting Sky Sports at this time of year but then I wonder why. So I think I'll leave it till they get themselves sorted.

The same Mr Bliss. I just follow the games on twitter and radio

Notice no clock or score on the tv screen tonight.

I think it was just force of habit with him, because he always made a point of referring to us by the full name.

Great game through.

To be fair the guardian gave us a decent write up and tipped us to finish 8th. I stopped listening to what the sky pundits and Gary schofield had to say years ago, every year is the same... Wakefield to finish bottom and get relegated.

To be fair Schofield seems to have mellowed on us lately, I listen to the RLonRY podcast and he's still his usual self, but been quite upbeat about us this year.

I've a bit of a chip on my shoulder with this, it always seems to me that when showing teams tries they always seem to show them scoring against us, it's as if no one else concedes tries.

Yep Schoey has been quite positive about us of late.
Tips us to be 9th.
Overall ,if anyone noticed, Sky pundits had us 9th.
About right.
Will be close.
Any place 7th to 10th in my opinion.

I've just watched a 5 min clip where Brian carney Barrie McDermott and Jon wells predicted the finishing place for each team with Carney having us bottom 2 and McDermott as wooden spoonists. Are they the same pundit you're talking about beagle?

Afterwards they brought up a table with all clubs' average position based on all of their pundits and, unless I have imaged all this ,we were 9th.

I think that Sky need to get the message out that it's now Wakefield Trinity.
Stevo would have got our name right



Acutally, although it may be a small issue, MC, having spent time & money on a re-brand should give Sky a right old B****cking, it's very poor indeed on Bskyb's part.

Sky don't need to do anything. WE need to get the message out.
If Sky don't know, it's Wakefield Trinity's fault.

Come on PT, the presenters on Sky are supposed to be experts and knowledgeable about the game and that would include any top flight club that has a change of name.
If you are saying that the presenters don't know, they shouldn't be getting paid as their knowledge isn't up to scratch.
It's their job to know.
As I said in my earlier post, MC needs to bang some heads in the media.

Nobody is still calling Hull FC, Hull Sharks

I listen to the same Podcast and also the Premier Sports back Chat show last season and his attitude does seem to have changed quite a bit towards us and he's a fan of MC.

Agree, I also don't know what more we could do to let everyone know we've changed names, bar getting a TV advert to run daily for a week. Ateotd if everyone on this forum knows we've changed names, the Sky lot should as well, it's their bloody job. It's not like we've done it on the sly.

Did anybody call them Hull Sharks when that was their name????

I remember we were still calling them Hull Sharks on the old scoreboard in the north west corner a year after they went back to being called Hull FC.

Up the Trin

Maybe Carney looked on the shop site,We still use wildcats as the emblem ?

Poor club, poor team, poor website, poor shop. Let's just pack it in eh?

I'm sure I made no mention of poor , only stating in response to what I'd seen maybe you have pre match nerves chill out

To be fair, he got it right tonight, in fact he seemed to emphasize the TRINITY part.
