Appreciation required for Matt Ellis.

There was a point early in our 98 promotion season where I felt immensely proud and positive about the club. We were playing attractive RL and had some genuine stand out match winners like Casey, Bostock, Fuller, Kenworthy, Adam Hughes (jeez, there were more than I thought) who were connecting with the Trinity faithful in a way we hadn’t seen before.

It was a different type of feeling though, we were good on the pitch and we looked like we could do something special and after being artificially demoted just a couple or so seasons before there was the sense of righting an injustice. However, we knew we weren't wanted and a battle to get what we deserved was coming which drew all the supporters in so we could fight as one.

This time there’s a real sense that after the make do and mend of a number of previous well meaning owners, who’s hands were tied financially, we now seem to be in the embryonic stages of a genuine awakening of a true Rugby League slumbering giant. It’s not just happening on the field it’s everywhere about the club and the owner seems to be scouring the horizons in search of anything that will substantially take us forward.

We are positive in our scepticism and guarded in our hope!
Our dreams have been shattered too many times but I genuinely think this is it folks!
