Enjoyed the game first half we looked well organised and Fax gave us some good opposition. Second half I thought the young lads went well a few errors cost us but one has to learn somewhere. Fax did well with the short kicks. Thought Smith looked really good really pleased we signed him. Obviously at Warrington they couldn't wait for him to be ready, a season at Fev has benefitted him no end I can see him being potent in attack with ball in hand and his short kicks. His defence was pretty good too

I can’t totally accept the point … Trinity have almost 46,000 followers on Twitter alone… every one of those is a potential… fan who hasn’t attended… purchaser of membership … merchandise or investor.

In this day and age there is just as much ( if not more) commercial potential on line as in person (and it’s huge on the IMG agenda)

Halifax made more than 3x more posts during the game… and far more detailed.. and quicker

To those at the game it matters not… to the 43,000 who were not outs a missed opportunity … not whinging but attempting to make a strong point.


Anyhoo… looks like a decent run out

It’s a point and reasonable enough. Just asking you to accept that there are reasons and that the club are aware of some shortcomings.

However with a tiny staff and a million non RL issues to attend to its a stretch.

Normal service will be resumed as they say.

Vastman has become the apologist for the status quo. If the club is ever going to progress they need to move with the times. Football clubs make a fortune from fans who never go to games through clever marketing of merchandise and media. Increasing crowds would be great but its not the only way a club acan be successful on and off the field.

I think 'apologist' is unnecessarily strong... he's working hard as a volunteer ATM and as such will get to see where things are stretched...

my point is about commercial activity in the 21st century... its not like the 1970s and we have generations whose primary experience of life is on their social media apps (even Twitter and Facebook are passé to most of the younger generation)... the market place moves so quickly

He did give valid reasons and said that it would be rectified in time...
If it bothers you that much, get in touch with the club and offer [iyour[/i services...
I'm sure they'd be delighted and greatly received.

No need for the comment about Vastman, and in terms of his comment, I thought things went pretty smoothly today which I'm sure took a lot of work.

However, marketing should always be ringfenced resource in a business. Saying everyone is concentrating on something else is a case of bad prioritisation.
On match day, of course safety and organising the crowd is priority but the other 6 days need someone marketing. Social media is low hanging fruit.

Totally out of order, is there a hint of the pimp there.

Back to the game. I left feeling a bit underwhelmed by the shoreline but thought it was solid enough.

The whole first half we didn’t look troubled and for most of it looked in to not get out of second gear.

The second half despite having some younger and fringe lads on I was a little didsapointed with ball control. It will have been a good experience for the young lads.

I don’t know whether discipline is an issue but the penalty count was heavy against us. That coupled with a few poor turnovers from short kick offs or knock ons out us under undue pressure especially that second half.

Thought Proctor went well.

Atoni showed he can put in some good minutes and made plenty of yardage. I think I prefer him off the bench but like the look of him.

All 3 halves contributed well and Mash had a tough choice there. Smith for me looks like a real find. Good hands, good short kicking game and the lad can score some try’s.

Thought Lineham went well and was good of him to pass a try to Lyne.

Looking forward to seeing Tanginoa and Hall hopefully vs Fev.

Oh, thought Battye looked good again. 2 good games from him and he’s running some great lines. That line he ran for his try was a beauty.

They're called plebs

No I don’t need to use multiple forum names like some. If I post I do so under my one login, I know that some struggle with those that have a different opinion but the forum is not yet the sole domain of one specific point of view despite what some try to make it.

And the comment supported by his sidekick, Little Wayne!
