I couldn't rip through the pesky plastic cover

Any Trin fans that go to Salford deserve a medal, but I'm not planning to buy shares in a medal shop.

How can you possibly say fans just wait for something to moan about? 12-0 up to 34-12 down against a team who have won 2 games out of 14! Against us! Embarrassing!

What about Hudds twice, Hull KR, Saints, Wigan twice. Cas etc. You don't really have to wait too long to moan about something do you! Any fans who can have turn a blind eye and not have something to say about these displays must not be right in the head.

If this result wasn't on the back of conceding well over 200 points in the last five games you'd have a point.

I'll be honest enough to say I'm dreading next season if this is what we have to put up with,

not even an urgency from the kick off at 26- 12 down to try a short kick to get possession back,

no 40/20 attempts,

no grubber kicks at players to force a knock on,

no support for the man with the ball

no kicks behind the line to force another set of six,
bradford ground is renown to the ball holding up in the corners but did we utilise this? no

Wow

Snowie.. I didn't expect that from you.

But my impression is that some, and I accept its only some, moan at the bad times but then go quiet if we do anything good.
It's over now anyway. I'd rather we look towards next season.

We are just not good enough and from what I hear regards recruitment then its unlikely to get any better next year. But a step in the right direction would be getting the players to put 100% effort in which right now they aren't doing. Sadly the only way to do this is to change the coach. He's lost the dressing room and you can't change 20-odd players but you can change a three man coaching team. Thanks for everthing JK but its time to go before our team dies a death and your coaching reputation is damaged beyond repair forever.

today was a do or die situation, we had to win and by plenty to give our selves a slight chance,

started of fine but then just threw it all away, we lacked a controller in the middle, BJ went awol again as we know he can and sam ran his nuts off as usual to try and compensate, if we had stuck cooke in the mix I doubt we had got much better but at least he could of done the kicking, not once did we seem to make them turn around to get the ball

bradford was woeful and we mad them look good

The recruitment may not be 'top drawer' but we can get only what we can get.

IMO we're not THAT far away anyway. The answers lie in getting everyone pulling in the same direction at the same time and playing as a team again. That a few changes would do me just fine!

And its my impression that some go overboard after one decent win and then put up with numerous heavy defeats on the trot with blind optimism that Kear will sort it out. I have been very vocal about Kear and the performances over the last few months, if the performances had improved I would have given some credit but they haven't (I would still want him out on the basis that he wanted to leave - but would have given credit where it was due).

If Cooke gets a new contract will you still believe Kear is the man for the job?

I would like some top drawer signings but as I said on another thread, I would settle for some players who will bring some heart and passion and basic RL skills wouls be an improvement on some of the shower we have playing at the moment.

An absolute must is a controlling half back.

I think the performances since Kear and the Catalans debacle say all that needs to be said about his influence over the dressing room. We should have been looking for a way to get rid - instead it appears we have let him sign up players for next season - meaning that even if we did ultimately decide to call time on his tenure, any new coach would be stuck with a squad they didn't choose and very little if any time/options to make changes. Madness.

The team needs new blood and while they don't have to be world-beaters they do have to be of the requisite quality to perform in superleague. I'm not convinced that some are but whether they make it is partly down to the coaching they receive. I don't feel our current set up have the modern techniques and technical knowhow to get the best out of our players week in week out.

I agree, the teamwork aspect just isn't there anymore. So it looks like motivation is also an issue now. We know we are getting a new captain. We need new leadership above him to bring fresh ideas and a change of direction because if we don't get 100% out of players that are of a lesser standard to other teams then next year could be very damaging.
