Genuine question (I have no real opinion on this appointment) how much impact/influence is an assistant even likely to have?

Should hopefully provide some fresh impetus to the coaching regime following Ward's arrival at Cas. I hope to see a lot more attacking strucutre so were not just reliant upon one pivot at any one time. We need to win 4 games in my view to have a hope of staying up, starting next Friday.

For us to need 4 wins would mean they need to win 4 of their last 5 games

I don't care if I'm in the minority when the majority are wrong.

Let's all remember that the minority were calling for Chester to go long before he actually went, and had the club made the tough call then, we wouldn't have been in so much of a mess as we're currently in.

Just a side issue with your predictions any chance you can share this week's lottery numbers cheers in advance

Looking at Cas’s fixtures I can’t see them winning more than 1/2.

Pretty much a 50/50 at this stage. It’s all on and I’m sure our players are up for the fight.

I like this appointment, surprised by it too, good move!

I think it could be a great move, Longs obviously got the tactical nouse to help the team structures and attacking prowess.
It seems he’s waited for Willie Poching to actually leave the country before venturing to Wakefield, he’s obviously still got ptsd from when Willie nearly put him through the ground floor of the hospitality block back in their playing days.

I agree. He's certainly a winner.

But in terms of the last one....

Willie Poching ....... Grand Final, Challenge Cup and World Club Challenge winner
Chris Chester........Challenge Cup winner

A couple of forwards a half backs brain far exceeds thiers

If it’s the incident I can recall, the Long received the pass directly from the scrum around their 30 meter, Poching hit him that hard as he received the ball long lost the ball, Willie picked it up and outpaced the cover to score.

That wasn't the comment. Wilzay said we haven't had anyone who won medals since Michael Monaghan. My post was to challenge that with our most recent coaches.

Wasn’t Chester a half back by trade? I certainly remember him with a number 6 on his back for Wigan…
