Says the guy who only comes in to attack other posters. You’re not a barrel of laughs yourself.

How can you say "it's a different issue", revenue into the club is what allows us to put together a competitive squad.
It's all very much the same issue.

Yes, we want the players that we have to be fit and performing somewhere near 8/10 every week.

Although you accuse me of being negative, I'd go for realistic.

If Trinity are 8th, 9th 10th in the spending list on players then, in a straight line, this would be our finishing position in the table.
Of course, we then add into the mix the ability of our coaching staff, compared to others.

I dont accept that suggesting that we will finish 8th, 9th, 10th is negative or, accepting of mediocrity.

Unless and until we are able to spend something close to the top 4/5 clubs, we have no right to challenge them.
Of course, if we get all of our ducks in a row and put a few wins together, and those bigger spending clubs dont, we can and do beat them.

Anyway, back to the game on Sunday.
We should be making it 3 in a row and we should be beating Leigh by 20+ points but, the uncertainty is what makes sport interesting.
Watching how we cope with the favourites tag and seeing if our progress continues.

It's fantastic to be back at BV and being able to watch a decent game and talking of "luck", our return to playing in front of fans, at home, has certainly helped our cause and with this coinciding with playing some lower ranked clubs, we have a great spring board to make progress up the table.

Am I dreaming of a play off spot ? Not yet but, lets see what happens

‘Attack’ other posters? You’re confusing me with yourself

If we play like we can then Leigh could have a long afternoon, suspect that they may have a few back but there squad makes ours like world beaters! On a more serious note what is the point in relegation this year? How does it help super league - so assuming that leigh get relegated what's going to happen to the team that comes up fev? london.

Fev would need about ten new players and realistically are probably quite happy with being a top second tier side. Apart from the league saying we have a club in London what do they bring to the table - never get more than a 1,000 fans, literally in the middle of no where so the days of going to fulham etc and having a weekend in london have long gone. Toulouse best players are tony gigot and remy castry

Leigh at least have a decent backer, great facilities, almost a competitive squad its just crazy, their squad are currently being picked over (which just shows how convinced some of their players are about the long term) by wigan

I think the Leigh squad is better than some give it credit for, Briely, Russel, Flower. Sidlow, Gelling, Thornley, Mellor, Hood, Ellis, Reynolds, Peats to name a few are to be respected. Hood, Sidlow, Flower and Russel I would love to see at Trinity. Leigh have had there fair share of injuries. I still think if they can get close to their best 17 on the pitch they will win some games. We will have to be at our most determined, most professional against them.

For once I agree with you.

Professionalism is the key, something we have lacked in recent seasons even taking the injury curse into account.

Player for player they are the weakest team in SL but that doesn’t mean they can’t play well and they easily have enough talent to catch us napping.

The game is ours to lose and I’ve no doubt that if Leigh smell any weakness they will go for it, that after all is what’s kept us in SL most seasons.

Back to the game, Trinity are -18 on the handicap.
Cant remember the last time that we were such strong favourites to win a SL game ?

Come on Trin !

probably when we went to Huddersfield after that seven match winning run …. Let’s hope it’s not the same outcome

Horrible game to go to that. Wasn't it when Jon Sharp was in charge and they were bottom of the table? Got battered

Huddersfield bombarded our line with back to back penalties and got no joy ,and they are a very capable attacking team with threats all over the field ,so why do we fear Leigh . Our defence has been ok this year which has now gone to another level and to compliment this we have discovered our attacking prowess .We have Virtually a full strength teamwork pick from , playing open attractive rugby with a smile on their faces . Play the game with the same attitude and effort and the two points are in the bag Id say, and have faith in the team.

Thanks for the reminder Ketty
Never has so much expectation been followed by such a poor result.
Mind you our "win streak" is only 2 games so, there shouldn't be any over confidence just yet !

Does anyone know who ref is for Sunday. Don't seem to be able to get referee appointments site up for some reason.
