After the defeat at Wigan the players were given 5 days off to recharge their batteries, on returning after the break the players and the coaching staff have 15 days to prepare for the next game at St Helens. I would imagine Chris Chester and his coaching staff would have used the players 5 day break to get their heads together to find a solution to fix the problem we find ourselves in, but if all the coaching staff decided to take a break too then I think the club is being badly mismanaged. We will find out the answer a week on Friday as to just what, if any work or coaching has been drilled into the player as we try to seek the points we need for survival.

This is it for me...if they turn up at Saints and put in a similar "non-performance" like they did at Wigan, then it clearly hasn't worked.
If, however, they put in a similar performance to what they did at BV against Saints at the start of the season, then although we might not win, it will be all about the performance and at least we SHOULD have a platform to build on for the last few games of the season

We complain about too much rugby being played, so when the opportunity comes to get the players recharged and refocused for the final push, we want them beasted to death on the training paddock.

Wise words Cats13. I'm completely with you on that.

We all want the players mentally and physically fit and healthy. Maybe there has been a problem in these areas unaddressed for far too long.

Exactly right, especially if the break is given as a concession.
With the players that we have available, Trinity ARE capable of getting the couple of wins that will secure our SL survival.
However, someone does need to convince them that they CAN do it.

Some additional help for Chester would be most welcome

What I suggest the whole team including the coaching staff do is, watch this morning's game between Melbourne and Manly. That is what you get, especially defensively, when you have 2 fully committed teams, who are well coached, and each individual knows their roles within the framework of a team. Yes as individuals some of them may have more ability, but it's not all about that. That game should be a blueprint to which all RL teams aspire......and it probably won't be the best game of the season down there!!
