One missed a game but was not injured and Gigot was injured but for one game.
With regards Randall what I was pointing out is that he was a player who was on fire but over time this diminished and many on here were glad to see him go.
If you were considering the pandemic you could include Walker, Pitts, Fifita and the two who subsequently tested positive. They are not injured just a casualty of the current situation.

Who are we missing on the actual injury front Johnson, BJB, Arundel and Kershaw but we have brought in Kay and Gigot. The loss of two players from the recognised first team does not constitute a crisis but I am prepared to be proven wrong.

But you are trying to make out that everything that isn't an injury, and some that are, are Chesters fault.
I'm pointing out that we are down on numbers through nobody's fault with the exception of maybe Fifita, and that is the main reason we are not getting results.

Randel was way in front of K Wood and miles in front of the other Wood The problem was in the first friendly match last year he injured his knee.Instead of been given a rest to get fit the club though it better to put injections to help is knee ,So he never got back to is form..To my mind a lot of our long turm injuries was brought on by pushing injured players back to soon

Randel's form was always patchy so you couldn't describe it as deteriorating. He had a hat trick and motm match game towards the end of his stint. No doubt he didn't listen to Chester that week.
When he wasn't injured, I always thought his poor discipline proved very costly especially in certain tight games.

I'd accept Brough hasn't quite worked because of injury and getting old but there was little else for us at the time.
I also partly agree about Wood. I like him a lot but if we had a McShane type player it would take pressure off half back.
The problem is Miller, Hampshire and Wood have a similar game. With a young fit Brough or Finn that would work really well but without him it shows flaws. Jowitt is not that guy yet and Woods isn't there as the organising Hooker. Both I'm sure will improve but we really need it now or at least for start of next season.

That's another aspect Pops, you had a McShane but let him go.
Its not always about who you sign but who you retain.
Anyway I have a feeling that a couple of clubs will start next season in a much worse state than Trin.

We let him go because he spent too long at McDonalds.

The only other 9 I could remember having that much timber was Mark Riddell at Wigan.

Really, you must have watched a different Randell. He was never as good as Woody and it’s far to early to say regarding Josh. So Randell the latest player who nobody was bothered about when he was with us to gain cult status on leaving. Incredible how fickle fans can be.

Josh Wood was 3rd choice hooker at Salford shows how players become untouchable when they come to Wakefield .One more that ad a injury problem before he came
