Tim Smith will not be joining Cas.

Tim Smith will be at Wakefield next season

Playing for which team?

Wakefield! Strange, I know!

I think Danny Cowling looks a good prospect. Not sure I'd say he had a bad performance in his last game, somebody on here posted he'd been dropped for 'shooting out of the line' and missing a tackle. Wish I'd a pound for every time a Wakefield player has done that this season! I don't know if he's going or not (I've not read all this thread) but I know he shouldn't be allowed to - unless of course it's his choice - due to lack of opportunity here!

I read that too, and thought "how weird". I thought he had a solid game up until the "shooting out" point (which I didn't see) too.

Same here. He was the one Trinity player who looked like he could execute a textbook tackle. If the club are wanting to save on cash then let Lee Smith go and sign up Cowling to replace him.

It was in fact me who said he shot out of the line and he did, more than once but he did it one time and was taken off. I didn't say he was dropped because of that, although he hasn't featured in the squad since.

No one doubts that you are all trying, but the BoD gave got an awful lot wrong as well as much right.

If your intention on here is to engage in genuine dialogue with the supporters then perhaps you can ask why the club treat the ST with such disdain. Our Chairman has no dialogue with us and the presiding attitude is one of being a nuisance and an inconvenience!

I am also sick of thus regime blaming the previous regime for the problems they have, including all the CCJ's. They are gone, but while they were here they did no more than you - ie, they trued their best, and arguably did better for longer!

We, the supporters, have already proved that we are a power base. We led the campaign for NM and without us and our petition we would not have PP - it certainly has little to do with the current regime who refused to accept it as a legitimate opportunity when they took over - because they wouldn't either trust or believe it!

In essence, what I am saying, is for the club to deliver on its promise to be honest with and have dialogue with the supporters - either that or finally ditch the slogan together we are stronger, because at the moment that is not being delivered!

There is a way forward, but its not the one we are on right now!

Well if that is the case TRB it truly saddens me.
I can only think that as someone who has built up his business AG is so used to working and making decisions on his own rather than through consultation with others.
I may ,of course,be totally wrong here.
Lets hope sense prevails and fans who have a lot to offer can be brought on board.

The thing is running a business has little baring on running a RL business.
I can see why he is reliant on others as you need some understanding of the game and SL as a whole to begin to understand how to run a SL franchise/club.
I can see how some private sector skills can be introduced but if you don't understand the SL world you might just as well be ing in the wind.
If you were to try and explain SL to a visitor from the planet zog they would quickly hop/crawl or slither back aboard their space craft and bog off looking for a world with intelligence.

Without detracting from your points, all of which are valid - I think the problem is far deeper.
NM is the future but our problems remain in the here and now.
I can understand the club being a bit irked with the fans at present, as much criticism is coming their way.
What they need to realise is that's how we feel x 10, as we are not in the loop and fairly helpless.
The club needs to back the fans and we will back them, otherwise as you say the slogan is not only worthless but a millstone around the clubs neck.
A truce? A frank exchange of views? A line in t he sand and a new way forward?

That's it, in a nutshell.

I just feel that inclusion or 'togetherness' would benefit the club far more than them just telling us that we're together.

I live in hope!

I'll give you a clue why i left the ST when i did, it became obvious to me that having dialogue and being open and honest with the trust and the fans was never on the agenda for the club.

Shame really after you guys put in all those hours of hard work.

Together we are stronger is a great slogan.
