It will be interesting, and a real show of intent. I think nothing has frustrated Wakefield fans over the years more than the inability of our teams to match expectations, and win those special games that get the club noticed. Winning million pound games is great, but in truth they are games between failed teams, where survival and not glory is the only reward. A Trinity team that goes out there to win for the joy of winning, and doing so because they want to be the best - most of us can't even remember that - we've had glimpses, but that's all.

If all goes as we hope, this new era should be fantastic fun.

In think that despite the fact that we have been relegated I'm feeling far more happy than I have for the last four seasons. Most of us, I'm sure, believe that we are on the threshold of a brand new era for Trinity and cannot wait for the new year. Oh! and by the way, nice to see vasty back in action like him or loathe him.

Really feel for the fans on this one, and so glad we're not in the same predicament.

Someone on the RWB Army page wree saying there is a possibility that they could lose their super league place, and be replaced by a championship club. If it were to happen and it to be us, although our squad is starting to come together, not sure how competetive it would be just now.

Also, if we were to continue working on the stadium, it might be to our benefit in doing so, if our crowds were a little lower, than what they would be for super league games.

Personally, I'd be looking if we could take any of their players, if they were to fit us, to reduce their salary cap spend

Got to agree, it is good to see vasty back.Had words with him my self but like most of us ,he loves the club

You’re in the hardest league to get out of. Good luck even with your IMG presents.

I don’t think there’s a single post on here, even from the most optimistic Trinity fan to indicate getting out of the championship will be easy and a foregone conclusion.
As for our IMG ‘Presents’ they came as a result of hard work by the club management of the time and not as a gift.

What a breath of fresh air..

It certainly won't be easy, and there will be clubs who will wany to take a swipe at us, such as Fev, Bradford and Toulouse. I am, however confident.

I think the phrase Shaun Wallace uses in the Chase comes to mind, you know me, I dont take anything for granted.

Nobody doubts that. But I think even you would concede that as everyday passes we are looking stronger.

All any Championship team fan can ask for is that there team is one of those with a realistic chance of promotion. I think we would probably have been in that list even without Ellis, like a number of teams. Now we've nosed our way up the list, but for now it's all speculation. After all nobody thought London would do it, or that Fev would fail so badly, so that's proof positive that money doesn't always get results.

Mercenary though it sounds, I'd happily take Salfords place, sounds far easier.

Remember there is no 'promotion' in the context you describe.
Winning gets you points that helps get you in the 12, but doesn't get you promotion.

Just a thought: I wonder if that's why Brodie Croft signed a ten-year deal. Is there a nod and wink that if he wants to go they'll let him, or if the club needs the money he'll agree to go, but whichever way, Salford get a decent transfer fee?

Great we got supporters from ,other clubs looking at us in envy .As said pity they do not understand the hard work to get us there

It's like the Super League Grand Final. It's hard to win, but it's only ever one of three clubs that do, with a couple of try-hards almost getting there.

Agreed
