There is his injuries and head knocks to be taken in to account, but if the medics are happy with that side of things then that shouldn't sway our decisions.The lad does take a lot of knocks,but when you're targeted like he is, that's not surprising.
Just as an aside - I've followed Trin for an awful lot of years and is there a better sight than seeing Tom Johnstone flying down the wing?
Whatever happens I'll still follow them of course, and,without wanting to add any pressure,does'nt that young Murphy look something special!'"

Last paragraph Murphy does look special as does Hall .one been brought in and one been given a chance by W Poaching Under the old coach Hall would have been no were near the club and Murphy would be no were near the first team .The old coach would though bringing in a old winger from Wires ,and giving him a 3 year contract was a good move and was going to get a 32 year old from Catalans .and we wounded why we got no money Just wanted the easy way out

Yes me too.
TJ is ours and we should keep him and build a team that can get good ball to him and Murphy.

Well of course it is. A Wigan fan who pretends to be a Trinity fan and a Hudds fan on a fishing trip.

It was a rubbish post imo and clearly many agree.

Here she goes again.

Love you Vasty.

Just wish you had the stones to actually crawl from behind the keyboard every now and again.

You were slating me a month ago for saying 11th would be a result this season….now you are the biggest critic.

Keep hiding behind the keyboard and being the laughing stock fickle “supporter” everyone knows you are.

Rest of us will get on with talking rugby and not being keyboard Warriors.

So sad so bitter.

Ps despite your recent change of heart I personally still hope you are right from your thoughts last month…not this month….and Trinity finish higher than 11th.

Also make your mind up on that one.

I’m reminded about the old sayings about empty vessels when I read your posts.

…but seriously are we top 6 or relegation fodder because in a few short weeks you seem to be struggling with that decision.

My opinion, just like it was at the start of the year was we will finish 11th, possibly 10th at best.

At least one of us is consistent and also not scared to meet in real life.

You know full well this is an anonymous site and asking someone to meet in real life is inappropriate.
Just make your point. About rugby. Not individual posters.

Please read Vastlass’s post.

No mention of rugby dig at an individual poster.

I also didn’t ask to meet him in real life…God forbid people actually interact.

To be honest I wouldn’t mind the hypocrisy but I’ve met and had great company with posters on here.

Some who agree with me some who don’t.

I’ve even been in Vastlass’s company but he chose not to declare himself despite apparently knowing who I was.

If you want to take the moral high ground fair play but at least be consistent..unlike Vastlass’s predictions for our season.

Just a point of correction re Corey Hall, he is one of ours as he was signed by Kelly into our Scholarship where he spent 2 years before going to Wigan then Leeds.

and here lies the problem being the anonymous site, years ago when Big Al, RR, Phil was around quite a few of us got together and met up mainly the Brennan Rooney fund raising and others and guess what not a problem, and had some great times together games, events it actually brought fans together respective of difference of opinions, some of us don't need to hide behind alias names in fact mine is a nickname I got at work.

I know Jonh and he comes over as a decent person willing to help as he has me in the past, Vasty I've met once and wouldn't recognize him if he wobbled up to greet me but I wouldn't expect him to attack me just because we don't share opinions

you need to practice what you preach and stop being the drama queen

Snowie
You've been around long enough to know I'm not making the rules. I really don't see your problem.

If you want to meet someone on here you go for it. No one is stopping you.
But you can't out someone. Give personal details, whether yours or theirs and you can't start being all tough calling someone a keyboard warrior because they don't want to meet you in real life.
If you know someone and want a chat, don't you have a better way of doing it than trying to bend the rules of a site like this?

Then why were Inflatable Armadillo, TRB and Sandal Cat allowed to post during all those years of Newmarket negotiations, or is that ok because they were assisting the Club and fans?

Some people knew who they were but they didn't reveal who they actually were on my time as moderator.
Occasionally someone has use a real name for them but it has been deleted and they've been told not to do it.
I personally don't know any of them.

It’s not really important is it.

It is what it is and we all need to move on and stop being so petty.

I miss the old days on this page, used to have some good debates with Big Al, but on the occasion I met him and his lad found him to be a good bloke.

I don’t think it’s an isolated incident sadly social media and the ability to hide behind a pseudonym gives some people that sense of false confidence because they don’t have the abdominal fortitude to say it to peoples faces.

In no way would I ever condone violence towards anyone but I do think Mike Tyson sums it up perfectly with his quote.

“Social media made you all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it.”

I enjoy meeting others off here and other forums they are to a man so far really passionate knowledgable rugby league people even if we don’t agree it’s always good to have a chat.

I didn’t realise anonymity was a requirement on these sites.

You are not allowed to post personal details. Whether yours or someone else's.

And you can't pretend to be someone else.
Some people have unknowingly put their name as the ID but although I'd advise not doing, I don't know what your name is anyway so it could be made up or a nickname.

If you imply you have specific knowledge on something. Within reason it's up to other posters whether they believe you.
If you imply you are someone that causes a problem to another poster, like their dad or something, then I'd have to stop that.

Most important to me though is protecting those who do want to stay anonymous.
I've had to ban more than one person for doing that.

It's mostly common sense.
