The point is is Mr Chester pushing players with a small injury back too soon making it in to a worse one


That is indeed a good point. Not sure who is responsible though. He has to take advice on that.
I do wonder about the medical team.

At the end of the day, Brough hurt his knee. Came off. Went back on and made it worse which cost us our no.7 for 4-6 weeks.
That sounds like a bad decision from someone.

Could it be that Broughy wanted to stay on and told the staff he was OK to continue?????

Point remains either way. Personally I dont see his extended period on the side lines as a bad thing.

Always been a big fan of Brough but think he could be one of Mr Chesters worst buys .Never been the same since he broke is hand . Think it's a case of a great player playing too long . Trouble is , it's a key position on the field

All what has been said I agree with, but further to this, just ask your self, Huddersfield knew they had to let go of broughy due to age, financial payments for a player at the end of his career with all the high risk of more injuries to an aged player, throw in that all plays had to go through broughy first causing near relegation then the tough decision was made, true Frawley ended up a poorer option but they persevered & nearly lossed out again, only to finally end up with a better choice in Sezer.
SO, what we thought we got in signing broughy was all the problems they recognised, however, there was always going to be the odd match where he excelled, But, not every week over a season !!!
I am not a Brough basher, I admire his skill set, but I know from evidence so far this situation Cannot & will not get better !!
Our problem is Money, we cannot afford a class half back player that is a proven match controller & match winner, let alone looking for one & who is available !!!
So we have to battle on, question - Can our coaching staff match the coaching ability of Powell or the Salford coach with the players we have, I like chester, but he is getting less responses now from his players, they simply have less stamina than most of the other sides & we are getting more & more tactically naive where we give up during matches.
FINALLY, I hope I am wrong on all counts, that would be most or more pleasing to me, in all these items I do not mind being wrong, I am scared of being right !!!
I will however keep going to support them in the hope of change & I do pay into trinity lines & payments so I am not bashing them !

We're saying all this of course, after one game! Forget the 'friendlies' they mean absolutely nothing.
I'm waiting for about 6-7 games to judge things, surely a better measure of how we're going?

Correct, it’s not rocket science.

Funny how you don’t criticise Miller, a player supposedly at his peak who had far less good games last season than Brough!

Odd that. Funny how some ‘fans’ fixate on certain players and will clutch at any straw to prove their point.

Aren't you effectively doing the same?
