The morning after the night before. Two things before I rant. First, Tom and Liam K are probably the only two out of the team that took the field last night who do not deserve scathing criticism and who come out of last night’s embarrassment with some level of respectability. Second, neither a four-day turnaround nor Chris Kendall are legitimate excuses for the lack of effort and pride which epitomised yesterday evening’s appalling ‘performance’.

Pick the bones out of that one. Where do you start? How about with the straw that broke the camel’s back and the moment which, for the first time in over 40 years of watching WT, forced me to leave the ground with nearly 20 minutes to go in absolute disgust - that farcical play-the-ball near our own line which led to another embarrassing Cas score and which will surely feature on the ‘what happened next’ round on Question of Sport. What a joke. That team last night deserve to be the laughing stock of the rugby league community this morning. I won’t call it amateur because quite frankly that would be a slur on the amateur rugby league playing community. It was a moment that just typified what was a dumb, gutless, clueless and prideless ‘performance’. That shower should be ashamed of themselves and made to watch that moment on repeat this morning in the review assuming of course that they actually have a review.

The team well and truly stank the place out last night and, given what they produced on the pitch, they need to take a good, long hard look at themselves and ask - do I really deserve to be paid for that ‘performance’. Answer – no you do not. They should be receiving a written warning off the back of that ‘effort’.

The fans deserve better. We give up our hard-earned money to pay your wages. We give up our precious time to watch and support you. We don’t ask for a lot in return – just some effort and pride in what you do. Do you honestly think it is acceptable to repay us by serving up that complete tripe? Many of you are not fit to lace up the boots of the great players of the past who have worn the red, white and blue. Keep putting in shifts like that and there’ll be nobody in the brand spanking new stadium turning up to watch that crap and half of you will be unemployed. God help any of you who I see around the city after serving up that dross.

Back down to earth with a massive bump and a huge reality check. With showings like that, if anyone thinks that we will not be in the relegation dog fight this season then think again. We narrowly beat the bottom of the table side at home. We were lucky to play the Warrington side when we did. We nearly threw the Salford came with 40 mins of second half drivel.

Let some of the reserves show us what they are made of at Wigan on Monday and let the majority of that embarrassing joke of a first team spend the duration of the match running up and down Cannonball hill and afterwards make them appear on Trinity TV and apologise to the fans for the absolute garbage they have just made us endure. Stop stealing a wage, bend your backs and play with some damn pride!

I wasn't being disrespectful to any player, It was said in the context of my post to those who show little faith in Michael Carter, some people are quick to criticise but don't have an alternative, money is tight, we punch well above our weight, there are clubs in the lower divisions wealthier than us, but year after year we battle on against the odds, all the best players are snapped up by the money clubs, now and then we drop on but in the main we have to take a chance and hope they come good, the ground holds us back lack of funds for the best players hold us back, keeping the players we have is not as difficult as attracting new ones to the club, if our players are happy it's easier to offer them more when we already have them because we know what we've got and the risk is not as big as risking money we don't have if it doesn't come off, that's the way life is we haven't got money to waste, that's why we've got players a lot on here complain about unfortunately, at least shudds and Leeds and Warrington don't come sniffing around no more, that must be some comfort, but remember there's also a price to pay to keep them which comes off the budget for new recruitment those players we have signed aren't bad players overnight, it's up to the coaching staff to get the best out of them.

This sounds crazy but the worst thing that could have happened is trinity winning at wire twice cos all trinity fans expectations have gone through the roof

With hindsight the cup win def did us no favours … playing Wigan 4 days before the cas game was a disaster for us .

The only bile coming out is coming from you my friend, and I really do suggest before you quote that you get your facts right.

Just for the record, I left at my own will at the end of April 2013, when Glover was still in charge, to take up my old role back in Malta, and at my leaving interview, they wanted to keep me, but it was just as much a lifestyle change as well as huge increase in salary. It couldn’t be matched. I only returned to the UK a couple of years later, due to ailing health of parents.

I have move on, as I am back in that industry I went back to, as an operations manager, I have moved on, and wish some others would

Don't mate for the love of god don't.

There are simply some things you can't unsee
