Yes I think we’ve got one of the better squads we’ve had....but...
Surely you need a good proportion of your top players playing regularly and just make minimal changes as and when required to cover an injury, suspension or whatever?
To me Chester hasn’t really had that for long periods.
Look at Saints as a good example last season, they had I bet 75% of players who played week in week out but were in the position to be able to say test a Roby for a game or two and bring a replacement in with little disruption...one of the games they made wholesale changes they got beat by London which is proof that even the top teams can struggle with the majority of their better players missing.
If we had a fully fit team out playing well and with confidence and say Bill Tupou picked up a head knock and missed the following week...bringing Jack Croft in to cover Bill would be a far lesser player but it’s one player coming into a team going well so would have very little impact IMO...1 or 2 changes in different positions loses you very little and is how squads are used effectively...
When you start missing 8-10 and continually shuffling players around is always going to go against you I reckon...
