Re: Chester must go now : Mon Aug 31, 2020 11:18 pm  
this season is defo one for the ages - I don't think chris can be really be heled to account solely for this year (we will be lucky to win another game )

However the way its going we will be able to afford a new coach? let alone a any new players?

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

He should be held to account for nearly getting us relegated last season, then failing to improve on that. He had a couple of good seasons when he had help from Kear, but has dragged the club backwards since

The sensible posters on here put last season down to an injury list that no team in SL could have coped with.

We didn't have it any worse that any other team. Our issue is that we've got a shallow squad with poor cover, so missing some of the playing team makes our situation appear so much worse. Again, this comes down to poor coaching and a lack of development for the younger players from a coach who would prefer to play players well past their best

Your having a giraffe did nt have it worse than any other team ? We have the thinnest squad financially in super league. We probably have about 5 players that are genuine super league quality and for most of last season we had fafita bishop johnston tupo arona ashurst brough and arundel out on top of the normal run of injuries.

When leeds had a run of injuries they used their financial clout to buy a load of second rate aussies, imported players from their feeder club featherstone. Saints just didn't have injuries, wigan had quite a few injuries but also had their pick the best juniors in the area and beyond.

As regards our younger players - I can't see any of the current crop of youngsters getting anything other confidence crushing hammering.

I tend to think we did have worse injuries than other teams, might be down to conditioning I don't know obviously, but here was the injury list prior to the Leeds game last season.

TJ
Tupou
Arundal
Miller
Brough
Huby
Wood
Randell
England
Ashurst
Batchelor
Kirmond

Didn't we beat Leeds though with half a team out injured? We won a couple of others too before the slide began when players started coming back. We took a tonking at Wigan I recall, Cas beat us yet again then we managed to beat Hull K R and London and just about stayed up. We've supposedly had our best ever squad this season and yet we've won 2 games in the league and walloped Bradford by 3 points in the Cup whoopee. This squad whoever is playing should be doing far better than they are, it is certainly big enough. The effort was there no question against Warrington and the week before against Catalans. I was utterly embarrassed to see us lose 58 - 0 the week before that. I thought when CC came to this club those days were long gone - taking us to the top 4 on a limited budget was admirable but we can't just keep rolling out excuses for the team week after week, something is not right. Maybe it's a lot of things and I feel for CC but we have to get our mojo back somehow.

Re: Chester must go now : Tue Sep 01, 2020 11:50 am  
Why are we constantly picking up injuries is it bad luck, conditioning or that the players we bring in come with an injury history and age against them. The problem is that we had a lot of these players back and despite this the performances continued to decline, requiring us to beat London in the final game.
The one main constant during our run of bad performances is Chester, we use to be known under the Webster era as Wakefield 6 because that was what we usually scored I guess now it could be Wakefield nil. How long have the members on the forum questioned our attack, kicking game and defence out wide, a lot longer than just this season. I am sorry the excuse of blaming the players in the after match press conference is no longer acceptable, he needs to look at his coaching and ask is it my coaching style.
I know money helps but look at Leeds they invested heavily but did not get the results expected where as Wakefield has survived on playing for each other and a never say die attitude. We now appear to use finances as a excuse for everything wrong with the club but the lack of money is nothing new it is what you do with it that matters. We have bolstered the coffers by giving up our season ticket refunds so we should at least expect the club to take some responsibility for the performances and playing games to help Sky is not one of them.

I find it difficult to believe that you are actually a Trinity supporter, let alone a season ticket holder who has declined a repayment of ticket monies of live games not played. Trinity are not alone in fulfilling Sky contract, all SL clubs have that responsibility, play no games, = no Sky monies. Why is it so difficult for you to understand that?
