Would be happy with this, perhaps another forward instead of MCB on the bench.

Horo, Arona and Kirmo all need to up their game otherwise I would say Crowther should be recalled.

I heard the other day that Arona had signed for Hull KR for next season, I wonder if true if this would explain his sudden drop in form? Don`t get me wrong he is far from worst performing player on the field however for me he has gone from looking 100% committed to the cause week in week out to looking like he is just going through the motions.

If there is any truth in it, I would see if we could let him go early when we have players in Annakin and Batch that give 100% everytime they pull on the R,W & B.

Not heard that particular rumour but him having agreed terms elsewhere could definitely explain it. Sad considering how great he was last season.

Would be a great signing for HKR, think that Arona could fit into a top 4 team if he can match the standards he set last year.

Whoever takes to the park against Widnes needs to be focused and up for the fight . We have more than enough fire power in that squad to win,it’s up to Chester to get them in the right frame of mind before they step on the park. As Jamie jones Buchanan once said 80%of your game is sorted before you run out onto the park .

My preferred line up for Widnes - not however what I think we will actually play

Max Jowitt
Tom Johnstone
Bill Tupou
Reece Lyne
Ben Jones-Bishop

Jacob Miller
Ryan Hampshire

David Fifita
Kyle Wood
Anthony England
James Batchelor
Justin Horo
Tyler Randell

Chris Annakin
Mason Caton-Brown
Keegan Hirst
Pauli Pauli

To miss out:
Tinirau Arona
Danny Kirmond

Not sure about claiming £5 for the Walter Mitty thingy, but you should win the £5 for the only sensible post on page 4 of this particular thread
Arona for MCB otherwise.

Re: Widnes : Wed May 23, 2018 2:37 pm  

Sadly, Arona has faded a bit. Horo is invisible and no better than Annakin or Batchelor.
Kirmond is struggling for form this season but can still produce the goods on occasion.
We just need the team on their A game. Good luck to Hampshire and Jowitt.
Let's hope they get a good run in their preferred positions and then we will know one way or another.
Up the Trin.

The picture you are painting is weird. You have obviously eaten your own body weight in chicken nuggets and burgers. Your house and car are paid for by taxpayers. You are likely to have dodgy knees and potential diabetes again costing the taxpayer via the NHS. Your mate gets you concession tickets to help your budget but are you 65? You also pop along to see Dewsbury, Fev and Batley when you can. You brag about heavy drinking win or lose on Job Seekers Allowance. Is it any wonder people get narked.
I think a bit of Fantasy Island is involved here. Stick to the rugby mate.

The experienced ones (Hull KR aside) have been letting the team down during this run, therefore it makes absolutle sense to give a chance to other squads members otherwise what the hell is the POINT of having players past the first 17?

Also what numpty would move a hooker to halfback, a halfback to fullback just so that the actual backup fullback doesn't play?

So our head coach played a halfback at fullback on Sunday... over our backup fullback??

Wood isn't an out and out hooker, he was actually given the number 7 shirt for us back in 2012 and has played scrum half numerous times throughout his career.

Back on topic

I have not commented much on our recent form, but the last few games have left me extremely worried.

I am going to Widnes on Friday in the hope that it has only been a blip and Chester has found a way to turn things around.
However, if its another inept performance then we have a bottom 4 scrap to look forward to at the season end.
