Salford are going to Wembley in 2 weeks time....

People also seem to forget Salford also appeared in the Grand Final. I would say these days more prestigious and harder to achieve than challenge cup final.

Thats correct Tart
5 wins in how many and counting? support level down with the bottom clubs , if not at the bottom next season. Players wanting out faster than we can get them. Then top it all off with a dump of a ground which is an embarrassment to professional sport.
We certainly are the Billy Big time boys and a flag ship club for super league.

| Don't know if true, but reading a comment on the Red, White and Blue facebook page, Chester has already offered his resignation, but Michael Carter doesn't want him to go.

| Hanging on to Super League status for the last 20 years is all of a sudden a weapon to beat the club with.
The fact kills the fans of our rivals but now is part of our own negative fan culture because we haven't been to Wembley.

| Every club bar us has participated in either the GF or the CC during SL era. You can’t help but feel a bit demoralised.

Sorry to keep repeating it but FFS look around at other once great clubs, look back at the some great games and stars we've had over the last even 20, 30, 40, 50 years. We are in another bad patch.
I go to Wembley every year regardless of the finalists and enjoy it as a Rugby weekend proudly wearing my Trinity shirt.. Love it if Wakefield were there again but it aint the end of my enjoyment.

That may well be the case. But i’m going to assume you are old enough to remember all those good old days, maybe even when we could actually get to finals and win something. It’s those moments that get you hooked for a lifetime. The memories they create are the things that get you through the bad times, the hope of one day seeing the glory days once again. It is 41 years since we made a major final. I was 2 years old and too young for it to matter. My Dad passed the passion for the club down from his first hand experience of those good times but other than the Yorkshire Cup and a second division final win (neither this century) i’ve seen them get nowhere near. I can’t pass down those memories of success directly to my kids and in any case it is a different world these days, there are many other things vying for their attention. They don’t have the same attachment as me, in fact they are pretty ambivalent about it. This generation isn’t interested in making up the numbers, it wants success. And an also-ran club in a wreck of a stadium isn’t a pulling point. Neither is the occasional relegation decider. The club needs real success if it is to prosper, something they can hang there hat on and get hooked but right now that seems a very long way away. The fear is we will soon join those once great clubs in the lower division and the club will wither on the vine.

But how pathetic is that comment? 50 years! 1970 to 2020 and all you can remember is the 1979 cup final. I can't even be bothered to list some of the fantastic moments during that period. WTF were Belly, Ray Price, Toppo, JD, Solomona, Tom Johnstone and many others busting a bloody gut for?
Where have I said that's all I can remember, what a ridiculous statement!
My point is, that in the fifty years of continued support I've only seen them in one major final. If your happy just to have a club support then fair play to you, I on the other hand have always aspired to seeing a trophy lofted high with R,W & B. ribbons.
The fact is all the clubs in the surrounding area have had more trophy success than us, even Dewsbury, & yes as the omnipotent one has said, many of those clubs are now languishing in lower divisions, but as a supporter would I swap, yes, in a heartbeat!
If I'd witnessed my club wining a trophy I wouldn't care, I would dine out on it for the rest of my days, but as it is there is nothing, nada, zilch.
So, the way things are going, we will end up in the R.L. graveyard, remembering all those fantastic moments of mediocrity.

Some of you seem to forget that Rugby League existed long before the Super league existed. There are clubs that once ruled the roost, but are no longer in SL, however, Trinity have never been out of SL since gaining promotion. Just be thankful for small mercies.

Problem is DK some of us haven’t seen Trin in a final let alone win one. Unless you count the Million Pound Game. Of course I’d like to think all Trin fans are grateful that the club Is still in existence, but it doesn’t help seeing other supposedly relegation candidates do more than just survive.

| The worst thing now for me is, it's how many are we gonna lose by this week! Can we keep a team under 40 points, can we get anywhere near 20 ourselves.......not can we actually dream of winning the odd game! Surely thinking like that would be following a virtual team of no-hopers, is that what we are now???
