In thirty years I'm yet to see a Trinity team really want this cup, why I don't know.
They all talk the talk but not once have I seen what I can truly describe a full blooded cup performance, not one single game.
I actually believe that in 2004 we were far closer to a GF place than we have ever been to a CCup during the SL era. Even in 2008 we blew it, we were against a Hull team who themselves looked lack lustre yet at no point in that 80 minutes die we ever look like winning it - I know it was close on the scoreboard but for me the players never seemed willing or able to step forward.
2015 was just tragic but to be fair not unexpected, the rest of our CCup exploits have been beyond pathetic on occasions and have often been in total contrast to our dogged and determined league form through the years. Most of out last ditch relegation games have been far gutsier and better to watch than any of our Cup games, why they can'y replicate that level of desire and intensity remains a mystery.
Put simply and I have no idea why but for some reason our team is NEVER really up for it imho. I can't see any reason why that will change this year, I see us choking almost straight away.
Perversely if we make top 8 I see us doing well in the super eights.
Seems weird at a club renowned more as cup kings than title winners but the stats bare it out.
I agree with all of that, apart from 2008, against Hull.
We were absolutely awful for the first 15 mins of the game, with Peterson? unable to cope with the kicks to his wing.
However, if they had played for another 10 minutes, we'd have won the game.
Hull were out on their feet and we were finishing strongly but, we had just given ourselves too much to do.
You cant give any team 3 scores start in a semi final and hope to win.
IF we can gather some momentum and get a couple of favourable draws, we COULD get there (to Wembley) and right now, the dream is very much alive, at least until Friday ![Very Happy icon_biggrin.gif](images/smilies//icon_biggrin.gif)

Yes but Catalan at home increases the chance of a semi final which I am sure MC would not have of objected to alas that now falls to Huddersfield.

Had we been in the draw it would have resulted in completely different numbers anyway. As team number 6 we would have drawn team 3, Leeds at home.
Hull v Catalans and Leigh v Saints. Wire v Wigan unchanged.

| We would have been ball number 3. The numbers were arranged in the order of when your tie was played. Hence hull being number 1

| Not been on in a week or so but a lot of unhappy fans as it seems at the moment, lets hope for a reformed Trinity side this week and really put some points on them, show them who the superior club is and earn the 2 points.

Fair enough, my mistake. Water under the bridge now.
