Yes if we beat Cas next week we will all feel happier I am sure.

However how many times do we need to turn up looking poorly prepared ,conditioned and coached before some people start to realise that something may be fundamentally wrong. The head in the sand rose tinted brigade will always look towards the next game thinking we will all live happily ever after.

However unless someone steps in and makes some positive changes, I can see what happened today being repeated quite a lot before the season is over.

This ... When your in a top job yourself i.e. me.
A lot people don't realise high standards yet again we are poorly prepared and our coach makes ludicrous decisions. Chester done a cracking job but last year we were poor and this year even poorer .. money spent no progression.

Get JD in as a director of rugby

JD was the recipient of a great show of loyalty by Wayne Bennett, do you think he’d repay that by walking out mid season.

Also and putting it bluntly, why would he leave a professional organisation like Souths to take up with this shower of sh. .?

Top Job - when did that happen??? Thought you were a personal trainer - or have you forgotten what you've posted previously????

I think if Chester went MC would go as well but it won't happen. I don't think any of the coaches have any idea how to get out of this. Everybody knows we're too slow I can't see any speed from anywhere soon not while they're as unfit as they are now

Same thing happened at H K R before he left most of the team injured do not know if we will get relegated,the rugby we are playing at present is very bad to the way all other S L clubs are playing.If we survive think the back up coaches and especially the medical advice he is getting needs a good clear out .But the main worry is the word IF

Although excuses (primarily injuries) cant be used again and again and there is no doubt thet, just like London (twice), we looked woefully underprepared or just plain soft on Saturday, there should be some leeway given to Chester.
I do agree that we look poorly set up at the moment.
With all of our first choice pivots/spine playing, we should be capable of way, way, better that is being shown by the side and I agree that some of this is down to either poor preparation/ coaching AND execution form too many of the matchday 13/17.

The real worrying aspect at the moment is that Trinity are playing the worst (most inconsistent) rugby in SL and with many of the bottom sides still having games against each other, the gap at the bottom is lightly to tighten still further and our games with KR and London are just huge.

If we lose both of them, I believe we will be facing the drop - it's scary.

The Tom Toms are suggesting that Hull Kingston Rovers, London & Huddersfield have money to spend in order to strengthen for the relegation fight.

New players will bring extra skills, widen selection choices, create competition for places but, IMO after a long season, they infuse new energy into the group.

Will Trinity be able to follow suit?
