I hope Applegarth is a good coach, but I don't know and neither do you.
I don't mind people having negative opinions on the Trinity coach or the players once they have been in the job a while or played, that's fine by me. But what I don't get is writing them off before they start.
It's like with this Smith lad from Fev. You've just written him off because at 25 he hasn't quite hit the mark. But life is not like that, it takes time with most people. People learn, they grow up, they change or sometimes it just click , or they just meet the right coach and team mates where RL is concerned. This lad could be about to explode onto the scene as was once expected or he may end up a dud, but thy are the chances you take. Sometimes even those with huge reputations tank miserably. This is not just aimed at you, just give these players a chance and they may repay you big time, in truth what choice do we have, we can't buy success for now so we need to be bold and create it.'"
The only person saying stiff like “binning him” and “written him off” is you
I’ve just assessed his current game and made no assumptions on his future improvements then you go off on some gammon rage extrapolation till you’ve convinced yourself that it’s what someone else said and you do it often

Top six 2005 - Trinity.: |
|
| Someone mentioned a Leeds lad named the other day on Facebook. Might be something in it.
Of course we could always go in and offer Hardaker a deal .
Theres a few young lads at Leeds probably ready for a chance at SL who may fancy getting an opportunity like Hall/Murphy last year.

The only half back outside first team is Sinfield. They are not going to let him go.

It was a forward who is more a fringe player. Walters I think.

He would be a great pick up but can’t see it, Leeds may put him out on loan I guess.
They moved heaven and earth to sign him from Widnes still fighting off comp from nearly all the top sides.
Still only 21, next few seasons will be an indicator of where he ends up.
In regards to our half situation I think we are maybe going to play the waiting game and see what happens over the next few months at the World Cup.
It’s a risk but we don’t need to be forced into a knee jerk reaction. We need to get this signing right and probably more than any position take our time.

Every comment you’ve made regarding the coach and potential players has been derogatory in recent month. FWIW I suppose that what winds me up is that in the past you've been a really interesting poster. I've rarely agreed with you but you've always seemed fair and reasonably knowledgeable, but now you just seem to have a real downer on the club. Shame because there are plenty of those about, being negative is is easy.
You use expressions such as boring, tedious, turnstiles and half a player not me.
Every new player we sign and the new coach who signs them needs and deserves our support, why anyone would think otherwise is a mystery to me.
As the saying goes, you can only play what’s in front of you, well imho you can only support what’s in front of you, what are the options. Those running the club and the team do their best, they don’t deliberately get it wrong,

It's a stupid statement used by empty headed millennials who don't like opinions that don't suit them and dismiss them with trite slogans.
Hope that helps

I'd say HB is the ultimate confidence position. Any HB who has a decent WC will be just that, right time to sign one.

| Actually I missed that.
It's an insult and not necessary.
Time for you too to leave this back and forth. No value in it.
Both entitled to your opinion. No need to insult when the other doesn't agree or write war and peace for every reply.
Applies to both of you.

I think PT needs to check your account because someone called Vastman was not very supportive of WP.

What an insightful reply from you Bob to defend your fellow minion who I consider to be Kevin due to his defence of the boss.
