Milner and Lawler both well past their best and probably now ready for championship. Hopefully we can avoid all three items. Lawler is right up there with Liam Kay in the shocking haircut category too,

Lawler passed his best at 25? Not sure about that! He’s a pretty decent player to be fair and has plenty of improvement still in him. He does have suspect hair though. Milner i agree with and for me his best was always over-rated.

To be fair on Milner he did once make a match saving tackle.

Can't think of anything for Lawler. Have I mentioned his haircut?

God, we really are scraping the barrel if either of these stories are true.

Just when you thought our recruitment philosophy could get any worse we propose signing Milner. What worries me is who thought they would need him in the Wakefield squad for next season, the club or Chester. If it is the latter which you would expect then this suggests he is being given an extended contract.

Have you got room on that settee for one more?

My major worry is that Milner would effectively be taking up Crowthers spot, a loose forward who can cover hooker if he absolutely has to. Crowther is out of contract….

Re: New signing : Thu May 06, 2021 4:02 pm  

That's a reasonable point sacred.
Well if we substitute Miller for Crowther the club have no understanding of the transfer market. I still tend to think our best performing forward will be on his way to Cas.
Unbelievable

Talk is Westerman to Cas is as good as done. Another one to throw in is Brad Walker who you’d think would be Westermans natural replacement moving forward, a loose forward with ball-playing skills. He’s another out of contract.

Re: New signing : Thu May 06, 2021 4:41 pm  

They'll all be out of contract at the end of the season when Chester has dragged us down into the championship

Westerman to Cas is DONE and Milner to us is virtually done as well.
The Cas fans I know are quite simply laughing about this as they think that Miller is finished or as they call him "The Penalty Machine"
This is quite shocking business

OK but many Cas fans don't want Westerman back.
