who would of thought that St. Helens would of watched a video of the previous week and said get out on rocky cause Chester will tell them to go out and play the same way.
Mopsey I’d have been happy if we had played the same way! We’d have still lost but lost with honour.
What we saw Thursday was several levels down from the week before.
What we got the week before was the basics done well and with commitment.
That will never be enough to beat Saints but it would be enough to beat most of the rest of SL.
For me the most glaring example of how badly organised we are was Ashurst. He’s a quality player regardless of age and injury. Yet as Wren pointed out he continually ran the ball into traffic. He also kept popping up on the right edge for no obvious reason. As I say Ashurst is a smart player, he wouldn’t do that unless he’d been ordered too, or he’s deliberately trying to make the team look bad, it’s totally against his natural game.
For those still claiming Chester doesn’t coach them to play like that need to think again. Either he does or the players are ignoring him, either way he’s lost it and has to go.
I’ve seen far worse performances by Trinity team than that, but they have always been commensurate to the quality of the team or the state of the club at the time.
The latter applies to all teams at the moment, hard times money wise. The former is what offend, these players may not be as good as we thought but they are still far better than Thursdays poop show.
