We have our place in super league to lose, which will ultimately lead to the demise of this great club as we know it.
I’d drop Finn as he’s playing on one leg at the moment but keep the rest of the senior guys and make them earn their coin.
I don’t think now is the time to be chopping and changing we need consistency and you won’t get that by continually moving players around.
Our first team players are more than capable of getting this great club out of this situation, they just need to be singing from the same hymn sheet and working as a team, not as individuals.

Dont get me wrong Kettycat, there is a lot at stake, bit the older heads just arent doing it, and really havent been for a number of weeks, but were on a downward spiral at the moment, and there are younger, fitter and eager players sitting in the stands.

I dont think it should be wholesale changes, bit there is more than just Finny at the moment that is under achieving

Can't recall who. but a Trinity player when asked at the beginning of the season what they would miss the most regarding Kear leaving, the answer was his "inspirational speeches". Maybe a slight clue to our under-performances?

The older heads have been playing well below what we expected of them your right . I would love nothing more than to drop the worst offenders and give youth a chance, lads that are proud to pull our famous shirt on. To me it’s just we don’t have many games left to experiment with and get us to safety of the top 8,and so I say give these so called first teamers a right blasting and get their sorry butts on the park and give us performances to be proud of .
Both Chester and the club are going through challenging times I just hope we can pull a few tricks out of the bag once more for all our sakes

I'm not in the Chester out camp, but I do think he needs to get some consistency.
If I were a young lad in the Wakefield set up I would be looking at the likes of how Johnstone, Batchelor, Crowther and Jowitt have been treated and be thinking 'Is this how Wakefield progress youth'
If things go wrong it seems the youngsters are blamed and dropped.
I'm a coach from the terraces so I will bow to the more experienced but that certainly how it looks!

I remember a lad who played at loose in 4 pre season games getting 2 MOM plaudits from the League Express and recently played the last 2 games on loan at his preferred loose position,scoring and getting big wraps from their coach, can’t quite remember his name just now

Couldnt agree more BLM

Thats way I'm be recalling him from his loan.

Chatting to Halifax player Monday morning, talking about current form , magic etc, he was full of praise for crowther and was supprised he’s out on loan, which speaks loads for the lad if he’s playing that well in a struggling championship side ,,,
