For the good of the club get someone else in and don't give Chester any more brass the talk of Adam milner is a joke. A slow plodding hooker is all we need we have crowther for that. Chester is obsessed with slow back rowers and our best back rower we use as a ineffective prop Tanginoa. We need a quality prop and a quick darting hooker to get us on the front foot. We have a team of wingers, slow hookers , midget props and plodding back rowers.
Like I said squad imbalances. We need change or we are done financially and done playing wise.
When you say imbalances Do you mean wingers, where we are down to our last fit two Or fullbacks where we have to play players out of position because we've injured the three we have?

Is senior injured then...wondered how hed fallen behind the other 2
I don’t think Milner would be as bad a signing as people are making out, he’s been ever present under Powell averaging over 25 games a season during his stay.
However definitely a step down from the rumoured Andrew Fifita only weeks ago.

This is some thing that is concerning me injuries.As we all know when Mr Chester left HKR 10 players in that team were injured. When he took over Wakefield he had a very fit squad. .After a year and a half ,we started getting long term injurys ,witch as got worst as the seasons have gone by ..Is it because he as no knowledge on how to keep players fit ,or buying players that are not fit enough to play S L .or down to been a Coach that is out of is league in S L we
I tend to agree, If I am honest I don`t trust Chester to get recruitment right because I don`t think he has for the past five years, why would he start getting things right now? Every year over the past 3 he has said we lack quality in certain positions yet its him that is in charge of recruitment and we can bang on all we want about lack of funding, but he has had funding and he has brought some players in just in the wrong positions and wrong types of player IMO.
He has picked up a couple of good players in Fifita and Tanginoa but I have noticed soon after they arrive, there performances start to deteriorate until we are sat here talking about how they are a shadow of the player they were when they first arrived, I`m not sure why, but that`s the truth, look at Tanginoa this season, he has made very little impact.
I'm not sure you can totally blame Chester. Looking back a player as a good season to be offered an extension for a long period, aA2 year contract should be ample with an extension towards the back end of year 2, if the player remains in good form. We seem to offer long contract for the player to see a big drop in form. Its going to be a very interesting closed season with a record number of contract up both in the UK and Aus.

Again that is clearly just not true.
Fifita didn't deteriorate soon after arriving. In fact he arrived with a bit of baggage that made his game a bit chaotic and then under Chester improved over 2 years. It started going wrong after injury.. Tanginoa was making wild passes but under Chester got into the dream team. He and Fifita are always heavily watched by opposition defenses so it's harder for them. The setup play might have deteriorated but these players haven't as you say deteriorated soon after signing.
