I'll support the club irrespective of the division they play in, doesn't change that I think we're heading in one direction and it's not upwards. Players leave, thats part of the game, and whilst we can say all we want about Johnstone not playing half the games, Batch being a squad player and Miller being poor over the past few seasons (not you) the issue is who these players are replaced by. I don't expect improvements, especially as yet again we are flirting with relegation so will be last pick for most players.

But isn't it an opportunity for the club to recruit quality and to make a couple of the new signings building blocks.
Build a team around new signings and sell the club on that basis, Stoke a couple of egos.
Should we survive in SL my fear would be we continue with a hooker, stand off and at least 3 pack members that quite frankly are not SL material.

I do not think he has to be accountable to this forum do you?

My take on things is TJ has been loyal as have we to him, for a low budget club we need more appearances, Back row forwards we have a dearth at the moment, Miller I will be sad to see go although many fans have slaughtered him over the past seasons. Both he and TJ can leave the club with their heads held high as can Batch.

Others off contract will show we have some top earners leaving so who knows what the plan is for the club but your last point will be answered I suspect shortly.

Clubs on its …..

I imagine there are a few sensitive negotiations going on at the moment, so it can't be easy for the board to release much/any details at the moment, but the supporters are on a massive downer and they need some clarity as soon as possible.Perhaps after we get the Leeds match out of the way.

This Agree 100%

The problem atm, regarding incoming players, is that it is not easy convincing them to join us when there is the threat of relegation.
I think that the club should be 'cut some slack' with regard to incoming players.

All these 'rumours' about players leaving etc, my thoughts are that we wait until they are confirmed, there seems to be a lot of histrionics on this board atm. (what's new )

It sadly does look like free fall. We had a massive clear out several years ago and are still in Super League. The difference this time is the shocking P.R. No information of plans and zero to give any hope. Anyone would think it’s a calculated decision to drop to the Championship, sell up, and head off to the sun!!
PLEASE give us some news or an update Mr.C. And Mr. M.

It's some organisation and professionalism on the field we need

Do Trinity need a replacement with Murphy, Kershaw, Lineham and Kay?

It's a good point you make, everything's relative isn't it. So considering our 'success' over the last 60 years, then do we expect too much? Or, given the fact we've now been in the top flight since '99, and we've probably troubled the top 5 about 4 or 5 times, and reached no major final in those 23 years, are we where we are 'supposed' to be for a club of our size, and the financial infrastructure we have?! Also, it's about 3 years roughly since we went down to London, in 3rd place in the league, on the back of 2 seasons finishing 5th. Since then, basically freefall......

The club have enough cover for TJ.
Concentrate on a stand off.

Looking at Derrel Opherts from Cas for next year to replace TJ,he's out of contract at Cas and looks to be on his way out
