I just read about the Jamie Rooney appointment, and I've got to say we are doing what i want from the club. Ignore the stadium and we are brilliant. We now have a pdrl team, a womans team, reserves and an academy! We seem to be engaging with local juniors and amateurs. We have a good 1st team with a few locals in it and a few outsiders who have bought in to the club, I could go on.
We just need to win the challenge cup this year with a last second penalty and all will be well.

Could not agree more.

To me the relationship between pro and amateur clubs is dreadfull and I've no idea who's fault that is tbh and long term it's the one that needs meanding more than any other.

However what we seem to be doing is leading from the front and setting examples. This is the way to create both players of the game and fans. This is how you make the people of Wakefield connect with the club. Especially getting back into the schools, that's vital imo and bridges the gap between pro clubs and junior clubs to a degree.

Won't happen overnight but it will happen. That is unless Rodders, Ted and there little crew take charge. Then it will be back to market trading payers like bits of meat.

It's vital we get the stadium but it's just as vital that the club is allowed to carry this through to the end and by doing so hopefully help save the game in WMDC.

So when we cheer the team on this year do it with gusto because we are supporting the future.

It's a shame some fans wish to remain cynical and unsupportive spreading malicious gossip but happily most seem to be embracing it.

Note - I've never met MC so no vested interest from me I'm just applauding what I see.

Brilliant to see the strides being made by the club year in year. My son has benefited from the great work from the community team via his junior club.

Great to see the investment in further initiatives and getting the club name back in to the faces of the Wakefield public.

What we need to do now is convince the Super League clubs to follow suit and set up A teams and form an A Team league!!

Agree with all of the points made above. There's so many positives around the club at the moment. I don't know MC either but he can only be judged on the way the club is performing both on and off the pitch. So far so good. Lets hope we start to attract a few more through the gate and build the club's profile up even more.

Agree with all above.

I'd also just like to say that although MC seems to be the face of Trinity, CB as also played a big part in what as happened over the past few years and deserves a lot of credit.

Totally agree, so many positives at all levels of the club. One thing I'd like to see is a regular update on all of the local community clubs. The club's themselves could write a short paragraph about what they've been doing and then Trinity could collate them and share it on social media. Dewsbury Rams do something similar and I enjoy reading about the local clubs

Our community trust and the whole of community team do an exceptional job with very limited resources.
Massive well done to James and Craig for leading it and for Michael and chris for supporting it.

Totally agree.
Very proud of the club and the way it is going right now

congrats to all involved

Just to add 6 of our youngsters have made the England Youth National Performance squad this year, so the Youth side of things seems to be in very good hands. I know we had 3 selected for the side last year so hope we can improve on that number.

Tbh with coming on here and not going on facebook etc much, apart from Trinity TV, I miss a lot of the news the Community side of things does.



I'd heard about the great things we're doing as far as setting up a Ladies RL team, the Physical Disability RL side & the Ambassador Clubs Programme, which are all obviously great individual programs that the Community team have been a massive part of and I wouldn't be surprised if they are in for more awards come the time, but I've missed a few other things.

I had a look back through news items when I watched the Hull KR game and was surprised by how much they have managed to achieve. All the schools we're getting into with the Trinity DNA player development camps and Wakefield Trinity’s England Talent Pathway programme, not just Schools in Wakefield but Barnsley and Doncaster as well is absolutely outstanding. Well done.

Very proud of the club.

It is in the best shape it has been in, both on and off the pitch, that I have known, since I began watching at the start of the 80s.

A big well done to all concerned, not only Michael and Chris, but all the others that put in the hard work behind the scenes
