Exactly right but Poching seems to rate Gaskell but I can’t say I’ve been impressed. We simply can’t have another game with them two at halfbacks. As you say it’s predictable. Lino stays on the right, Gaskell stays on the left. There’s no link up an it’s all individual hope for the best. Rather see Walker play.

We really miss Batchelor too. The lad has been very strong in the middle for us this year.

I think we need some fresh faces for the Wigan game and give the likes of Eseh, Walker, Tanivalu (so Kay can go to 9), Shaw, Croft.

If we don’t spell a big number of the squad we will be crocked for KR game.

Chester signed Gaskell can not blame Poching for been left with a team made up of 90% of Chesters signing .Getting a lot more out of them than Chester did .I think Gaskell as been one of Chester worst signing ,and after what he signed in the last 3 year that is saying a lot That is why we are were we are

Trinity still need another genuine big experienced prop. The pack doesn’t have enough grunt to compete especially without Fifita and seem to get dominated easily.

Pity they can’t find another Keegan Hirst in the Championship……

I called it at the start of page 12 on this thread so not using it as an excuse after the event but the two day extra rest for Cas proved massive for me.

They dominated right from the start and we just never got going and seemed to lack energy and enthusiasm for the task right from the start.

They signalled their intent starting Watts who's been coming off the bench recently....we couldn't live with him and Westerman making real easy metres and offloading for fun....our forwards were just happy to amble in and get dominated on the floor leading to painfully slow play the balls giving the backs nothing to work with..

Not for the first time this season we reverted to panic rugby at times which made matters worse...a night to forget for sure...

Just hope the injured players are back for Monday as we need big changes...

Miller, Fifita, Batchelor, Aydin, Walker, Murphy, Shaw... should all come in if available and I'd rest/drop.. Arona, Battye, Hood, Ashurst, Pitts...

Lets hope Saints and Wigan is a belter today and they knock lumps out of each other...with our lack of effort last night and extra day rest might be a slight advantage come Monday if we freshen up right...

Fatigue was clearly an issue. We are not the only club that's ever happened to.

But we needed better tactics and squad rotation to handle that.

Saying that. I've just seen the McShane try. It's like a horror film.

No it wasn't mutual

We informed him that he would not be offered a contract.

I'd be looking at Ted Chapelhow from Newcastle, limited availability in the championship but he'd be a realistic option imo.

He would have made no difference yesterday so its a pointless point.

I'm fairly sure that MC came on here a while ago and said that we had been offered both Chapelhow brothers from Widnes (?) but he turned them down ??

I wasn’t making a playing point just confirming why the departure was not by mutual consent. I think you are getting a little to touchy in your support.
