Betfred Championship Round 9

Whitehaven 6 - 30 Wakefield Trinity

That's 9 wins from the first 9 games and Trinity lead the championship by 4 points .

I didn't go up to Whitehaven today but managed to get radio commentary on BBC Radio Cumbria and it was a fairly routine win .

It's a strange feeling at times and I wonder if Chop feels the same because as Barnsley and Trinity RL fans I don't think either of us have ever experienced watching either club and be so superior to the rest of the league .

I've seen Trinity at this level in the 80's and 90's and it was a real struggle to get back to the top flight and some seasons we didn't manage it at all .

It isn't the championship that's poor because it isn't , there's some really good players at this level who have had decent super league careers and some good young lads out on loan from Wigan , St Helens , Warrington and Hull KR .

It's just Trinity are just massively better .
