Bit left field but we've tried a plethora of half back to partner gaskell, what about trying kruise, he can't do any worse(cas use mcshane) aob to do 80 mins, if we can't get grix back, then darnell back to full back, either Mellor or Roberts to partner jake. Jerry and one of the twins on the wing.

Over the last few month Trinity have pretty much been mirroring you lot in terms of performances. We had all the same gripes as you. Yet on Sunday that all changed, permanently with any luck.

Chester didn’t alter his team selection and I doubt he altered his game plan, it’s not his style. Yet we looked a different team against HKR.

My point is that it’s not all down to your Coach, players need to motivate themselves to a large degree. Wolford is probably doing everything right, it’s your players mentality that’s probably wrong. For reasons unknown the balance is wrong, yes the coach has a part to play but so do the players, more so imho.

They need to realise they will be out of a job if they don’t rally soon. For obvious and selfish reasons I hope they don’t but I fear there is still time. What I do know is that it’s all down to the players now.

Which in some cases is down to poor recruitment, which is linked back to Woolford? Was Uate ever really going to be a smart investment when looking at the rest of your squad?

So have we, it's an excuse for not winning trophies or being top five, it's not an excuse for losing games you should be winning or at least competing in.

I agree mate, both sides have the same number on the field, and although you may not expect to win games with a team half-full of kids there is no excuse for a performance like our last two, and in any event by and large it's not the youngsters who have been the big disappointment. The problems go a lot deeper than the attitude of the players.
