5 wingers like all the players ,Mr Chester has Brough in down to panic buying yet in key position (apart from full back were we had 4.)We got one 6 one 7 ,keep my though to my self on 9 .Think 3 trys in last 3 matches says it all

So who in our team would you retain if they were all off contract?

POP TART Its more of why did did Chester bring them in.When Finn and Grix left ,(though I say they both should have gone a year sooner.) The team we had was ok .Just needed a tweek at 7 ,and 9 maybe a GOOD Prop Mr Chester decided to go and bring players in who were 3rd choice in a team .Players from a team that got relegated So from is panic buy speed .would not have brought any of those.Hull wanted rid of Westerman ok he is going ok for us but think that just shows how bad some of the pack are .Think if we had brought a bit of Quality then we would not be in this state now.Take Huddersfield brough in a bit of Quality in the halfs last year,and looked a different team . Troubled is ,if Mr Chester had cleared out the back roomstaff earlier(, though the conditioner as been here before the last million pounds game ,and the coach who saved us from the drop brought in is own conditioner because he said there no way fit) do not think we would be in this possion now . Watched Wakefield 65 + years use to go watched Wakefield from the Osset \ Horbury support bus some time just 20 on the bus,seen use get 70+ thrashing a lot .But I watched them because they were the best we had ,and gave 100%.But think at present ithere are players not doing it

Unfortunately can't keep saying 'give CC a chance', as has bee already pointed out, a last game win against London, Toronto going bust and now the same stuff being served up for the 3rd season in a row. Look at how Saints changed when Cunningham was dismissed and Holbrook came in.
Remember when there was a rumour that the Wakefield players didn't like the early starts and training routines of Brian Smith? Well maybe Smith wasn't all to blame and the players didn't like a disciplinarian who wasn't 'pally' with his players?
I feel CC has MC's backing because he's balancing the books.

used to always think we had a chance even against the best opposition - always travelled in hope but as far as I can see our only hope will come against Salford and Leigh - can’t actually see us beating hull kr and yet again we are in the early stages of another injury crisis ! No miller wood Johnstone for at least 4 games. - not that selecting from a full squad makes much difference

Yes it does it makes us into mid table championships side.

I see Chester back to the old play book of blaming injuries. “We are playing it tough at the moment” but that could be said of many of the SL teams but they appear to get through. The game against Hull we have lost Miller but gained three however the player out injured will have the greater impact.
I wonder if anyone at the club can see where we are going or have they just buried their heads in the sand. I fear that the club’s record of sacking coaches speaks for another of the problems.

Yes it could, but how many SL teams have a weaker squad after the starting 17?, we all know our spending does not reach anywhere near full spend, Trinity are well known as being the lowest squad spend. Simple economics.

Trinity have gone through 3 coaches in one season before. We have sacked enough coaches in the past. Who apart from Chester would you have sacked earlier?
You can fear all you like but you are just making it up again.

Re: Taxi for Chester? : Mon Apr 19, 2021 9:41 pm  

I should have said sacked during the Carter reign. I agree others have done what was necessary but unfortunately not those in charge currently.
