O/T Official All Things Wakefield Trinity Thread And Others 2024 Season

[animallittle3]

Managed to get to the Dewsbury game last week to see a good performance and 2 points.

Missed last night's game at Belle Vue due to all my kids coming over - well the ones I know about haha!

Sounds like an impressive performance Animal and for sure Sheffield will be glad they do not have to play us again this season.

Manged to keep up to date with the score on Trinity X whilst watching my beloved Barnsley lose.

Looking forward to being back at Belle Vue next Sunday, hopefully no new injuries after last night's game and a good chance of 2 big lads in Atoni and Bowden being fit to return to the matchday team.

Highlights here Chop .

Watch out for Jowitt's cover tackle @ 1.42 in to the clip , absolutely immense .

Toulouse beaten tonight by Doncaster which more or less guarantees Trinity the league leaders shield , not mathematical as yet but with a 9 point lead with 7 games left of which 5 are at home I think it's pretty much in the bag .

Well done Donny, excellent win.

Betfred Championship Round 20

Wakefield Trinity 36 - 12 Widnes Vikings

This afternoons win puts Trinity 11 points clear at the top of the Championship with 6 regular season games remaining .

I think I'm pretty safe in saying the League leaders shield is in the bag and we can now plan for the business end post season campaign and hopefully the winning of the Championship Grand Final and a return to Super League .

But hold on .

There's a big situation developing at the bottom of Super League with the London Broncos now level with Hull FC on 6 points .

The Broncos could well finish above Hull and will be relegated regardless because of IMG , Hull are safe because of their Grade A IMG status .

This is heading for the High Court with the London Broncos owner not prepared to take this laying down .

I'd be interested in Acido's opinion on this given his Hull FC supporting background .

If Hull finish bottom they should be relegated is my take .

My worry is that this could get messy with lawsuits flying around and neither Hull or The London Broncos will be relegated .

Which leaves Trinity exactly where should we win the Championship Grand Final ?

This is what I was saying to a Hull K.R fan at work today Animal.
And I posted it yesterday on the comments section of the Bbc (London v Hull) match report as well.
Whoever finishes bottom should be relegated, it's as simple as that!.
I don't know if court action will be taken by London will it, but we all know that the RL people can't be trusted!. 😕

One thing I detest about RL is the pathetic scenario after the league campaign is completed where a play off system decides the title. Bonkers.

Just something as a RL fan you've kind of grown up with Pass , it actually pre dates Super League .

Both Trinity's two league titles at the back end of the 60's were won this way .

I think the London Broncos are performing as expected having come up from the championship last season .

What nobody could see was the absolute train crash that is Hull FC this season which has brought this situation to a head .

I don't think anyone thought Hull would challenge for honours this season but none the less this season has been a disaster .

What the RFL thought was that the Broncos would finish rock bottom and cast a drift of everyone else .

Now one of the IMG Grade A club's are potentially going to finish rock bottom it's backfired on the RFL .

Wakefield Trinity are CHAMPIONS after Fev beat Toulouse at Post Office Road this evening .

Congratulations to Darryl Powell and his squad for a fantastic season so far , that's two out of the three trophies we wanted at the start of the season .

Next one up is the one that matters the most and a Grand Final victory and an instant return to Super League .

Betfred Championship Round 21

Halifax Panthers 6 - 48 Wakefield Trinity

The last time I visited The Shay was in March 1979 to see Allan Clarke's Reds secure two valuable promotion points in a 2-0 win .

Seriously impressed with The Shay of today compared to my last visit all those years ago .

With almost 3k Trinity fans behind the posts and in the covered North Stand it made for a cracking atmosphere and a golden afternoon I'll never forget .

Seeing Trinity presented with the League leaders shield after the game and the celebrations between players , fans , coaches and our owner Matt Ellis was a joy to behold .

It's been a long time between drinks but we've two pieces of silverware in the trophy cabinet already , we've won as many trophies this season as we have in my time following the Trin over the last 42 years .

I'd quite like a third in October too .
