I was one of those who thought Mark and James was a shrewd investment in the future… and they may still be… sadly if they remain in charge this year… with no squad improvement, then we will be relegated.

Ps I quite like Will Dagger, decent squad player… but he’s not half the player that Corey Hall is!

Your talking rubbish, If he had not taken over the club, the only status we would have out side the ground would have been welcome to Morrisons The only mistake Mr Carter made ,was not to back W Poaching and backing the players .Did not take W Poaching to long to find out that Gaskell was not a 6 and sent the so called winger to Featherstone These coaches though it was wrong and we have paid the price big time

Who refused to extend poaching s contract
Who hired Mash and Fordy
Who sat by and watched players like Gaskill,Lineham come to the club
Who signed Tafua,Proctor and Atoni

There is one undisputed fact in life, the performance of every organisation is a direct reflection of the skill and quality of the man at the very top.
The rugby side of this club has been an inept shambles for the last three seasons at least. Well before Mash arrived. If Mash is sacked by Monday I really feel no one could pull this mess around by the end of this season

The thing for carter is that he saved us, no question. Unfortunately though the board never got the understanding that they needed a respected rugby brain to run the rugby side off field and thought they could. Lack of money in last 3 yrs been a killer for us. But whose fault is that? It’s not the fans, only the board could look to get inward investment from other areas/people. Fans come to see good rugby. So yes mr Carter is now the villain as seen by fans.
Poaching should have been backed end of or did his face really not fit?
Mash has to go, like it or not the buck stops with him as he was happy to take the role.
Just who could/would come in for us. We’re not exactly a draw for a coach are we.
We love our club and just hope this can be rectified. So much gone right for the board ie the stand as I don’t think anyone else would have got a penny from the original deal we had but as a rugby club it’s what happens on the field that ultimately counts.

I think we'd struggle against Leigh Miners Rangers at the moment.

The big difference is Peets has Wayne watching his back ,whereas Mash has Ford who himself is a rookie at this level .

He also has Radlinski and loads of money.

Probably through necessity but, we've lost the top 5/6 players from last seasons squad and each one is a lesser player.
The current squad has the ability to scrape 11th spot but, no better. However, with Leigh proving to be ok in SL this time, we are now relying on one of the other sides being worse then us and unfortunately, after last night, we know that there isn't a worse side than us.
I dont think we can wait until there are 6/8 games left to roll the dice, something has to be done NOW.

Yep good companies might try something new but they always put it to bed quick if it’s not working. Change now or it will be too late.

I think the question asked should be, do the powers that be actually want us to stay up? I'm sure they've worked out all the financial implications if we do go down, how will sacking Applegarth be financially beneficial to the club? Because seemingly every decision that's been made in recent history, is down to finances, some of them necessary, but not all of them. Just on the actual playing side of things, I've mentioned on here a few times, these names. Green, Arundel, Josh Wood, Tangata etc, they were only here 2 years ago, and we won games with those players. Are this 'crop' worse than them ability wise??

I don’t think changing the coach is always a good thing but it’s blatantly obvious after 8 games something isn’t right.
I don’t know who would be prepared to take this lot over though because too many of them are not SL Quality.
I honestly think we’ve had it this season, and sadly after 63years of supporting trinity I don’t really care. I’m sick of watching the crap they serve up. We’re miles too slow and not good enough. End of!

The big difference is Matty served his apprenticeship, only moving onto a new role when the time was right and someone else had vacated the position, he learned his trade very well and isn’t just a coach by numbers coach.
