Agree, I don't recognise all the players (may be different hair styles, facial hair etc). Can someone try and identify the players on the photograph as I feel there may be others missing.
ps Who is that Salford, Saints, Wire etc player a the back with the ginger beard?

| Michael Carter has tried to sort the sweet & smelly out. But all having a go at him on here are just s who have no idea how to run a up in a brewery. Sad but let the club go bust. At least I have memories of the team in the sixties who could have beaten the current s in RL by 50 points.

| come on guys its only November we have 3 months till the start of the season. We are losing players so we can balance the books and start on firm foundation for 2014. There could be a chance of picking up stars from the world cup ...the USA no 6 for example is big mates with Tautai . Yeah we have had many false dawns , years of fighting for our survival but I am not giving up the fight. Think of all the good times we have had too, think of how great it felt to beat Cas in that last game this season or even in the million pound game. Yes its a rollercoaster but we need as many people as possible to stay on the ride and spread the positive instead of the doom and gloom. MC etc are working hard but we CANNOT SPEND WHAT WE DONT HAVE !!! have you not learnt that lesson yet ?? !!

Well said Feline !
We've been here before and managed to get through and whilst it's understandable that some folk are throwing the towel in, thankfully there are still some good people fighting for the future of the club.
Roll on Boxing Day, when we can have a pop at our wealthy neighbours !
(I wonder if Mr & Mrs H will be sitting together )

Thanks for that KC, will show it to the person who told me about it.
Bobbie Goulding staying?
Shulver looks to put a bit of size on.

Sorry but quit with the guilt trip. People will choose whether they want to buy into the mess thats left or not, that up to to them. And if they decide they have had enough then so be it and who can blame them. Funnily enough many of our fans have better things to do with their lives than listen to the people who run this club feed them the BS that they think is ok churn out.

Just think about it though. Lets say the club goes t1ts up for the sake of a few thousand people not buying STs. Who is responsible? Is it the people trying to do something about it (whatever you think about them) or is it the "supporters" who didn't buy a season ticket?
I've got lots of better things to do than listen to (or read on here) BS but I just don't get the concept of walking away from Trinity. Board members come and go: players come and go and it seems that supporters come and go too but Wakefield Trinity is bigger than the board, the players and the supporters and I will always do what I can to support Trinity. All I can do at the moment is buy a ST which I do every year even though I know I'll not be able to get to a lot of games. It's all I can do and it puts a bit of money in the coffers. I do it because WT is a part of my life and I could no sooner walk away from it than I could walk away from my family. The most depressing aspect our situation at the moment is the negativity (all destructive, none of it constructive) on here. I just think, get behind the club and encourage others to do so or ship out and support another team but stop the carping and whinging.

| It is not and never will be the supporters fault. We are the only constant however, we are also human and what gives anyone the right to say if you don't like how things are go support another team. I would also remind you who started the negativity with the statement that we have a black hole and will need to sell. This was after we had sold our principal play maker.
I don't think anyone would go support another team but they must just stop supporting this team which means the same. I have asked how much of the so called black hole have we filled in but it appears to now be a secret.
I look forward to the chairman,s Q&A today if of course it goes ahead and the list of questions he has chosen to answer.
If anyone wants to see a club run badly go down to Belle Vue because they could give lessons.

I agree. I know things are tough but that's the Trinity way.
I've said it before but this club is in my blood now and while ever it survives I will continue to follow it. I have had some great memories and probably a damn sight more awful ones but at the end of the day I am a Wakefield Trinity SUPPORTER and that's what I will do.
Some might say it's cruel but I want my boys to be able to experience what I have and (occasionally) get to enjoy watching this great game and MY team.
I can even understand the (relative) newcomers feeling despondent and not renewing but the die-hards must feel like I do, it's in your blood as much as it's in mine. We can all moan and whine about the situation we are in (again) but it doesn't really help. As hard as it is we need to be positive and hope that the underdog Trinity spirit can be found once again and that although it will be a tough season we will see that spirit come to the fore and the boys in the Red, White and Blue will give us some moments of pure pleasure once again.
I'm not having a go at anyone here, just telling it how it is for me, and how it will be whilst ever there is a team that bears the Wakefield Trinity name, no matter the division, no matter where we're playing.

| Why do you think this is new Agent? You are just bleating the same old stuff.
We know we are not doing well. It's plain to see.
No one is saying it is the supporters fault we are ina mess.
But if you don't support the team financially, you can hardly blame the club for not having any money.
For all the mistakes that have been made, it still comes down to the fact that the club hasn't got enough money.
It may benefit us in the end, assuming we make it through, as everybody will be paying more to come and watch if they pay on the door. The question is can we encourage them to come every week.

I also must say, I support your right to criticise the club if you see things that way, and any other view you have but the reason people don't believe you have Wakefield at heart is that you never ever post anything positive about the club or the team.
We have plenty of people on here who I don't agree with and quite a few that I argue with just because they are being more negative than me.....but you come across as someone who just wants to bag everything Wakefield.
If you have bought a season ticket as you say, why did you do it?
I'd also ask that to those saying they may bring their tickets back. Did you buy it just to watch Justin Poore or did you buy it to watch Wakefield Trinity Wildcats play rugby? They are still there and need your support.
There will be 17 guys next year giving their all, whether they are as good as this years team we shall see, but if you support Wakefield Trinity, those guys deserve support, whether by just shouting louder at the game or investing money, it all adds up.
