This is so far off the mark. I’m not having a pop but all you have to do is look at the playing roster.

We have lost so much quality in the last 12 months, we have brought in and retained championship grade players.

You can’t polish a turd.

In my opinion you are so wide of them mark yourself in this assessment.

A better preparation and level of Coaching experience may well have seen us beat a Catalan team missing it’s whole spine and playing youngsters on the opening day

Better Coaching might have seen the difference between us losing by a point at Salford, turn an 8 point loss at home to Huddersfield around and overcome a terrible Cas side at Weldon Rd (16-4).

These were all winnable matches where an experienced Coach like Willie Poching would have made a huge difference, not to mention that had we beaten Catalan we wouldn’t have played the Salford, the Giants and Cas with the huge monkey on our backs of having not won a game.

My depressed Cas fan friend says the sponsorship is only £800k and they are being bought out by a company called Poskitt and theirs will be higher. I did inform him my dad is bigger than his dad and we do apologise for any good news and positive communication. Haway the lads. Up the Trin. Bottoms up.
Wakey 16 - Leeds 14.

It's a much bigger name than Poskitt mate.

Let's keep this one about Trinity. We can discuss the Cas takeover on the Other Club Discussion thread so it doesn't get confusing.

I think a director of rugby is a must if and when the takeover goes through.

Someone who understands rugby league and someone who is experienced in order to steer the club into a new direction be that recruitment, contracts, agents etc.

Best we've had was Kath Hetherington. Strong character, knew her stuff. Wasn't bothered about being popular.

Steve Ferres put some squads together on an absolute shoe string for us, too.

I think this kind of role would be perfect for someone like Richard Agar.

Two and a half weeks since the last statement was posted, and I think it was expected to be around a 4 week process.

Having said that, I'm sure there was one before that.

I was hoping we'd see it ticked off before our next league game.

They do say, however, that patience is a saintly virtue.

Fingers crossed, that everything is going through OK.
