Question asked, what is the plan for change if we don`t turn things around in the next 5/6 weeks.

Response along the lines of ultimately if a decision has to be made in the best interest of the club, that call will be made at that time.

On the face of it we have a reasonable squad that should be competitive in games however once again I sense that it’s all about money, it isn’t we have produced successful teams with a weaker squad and a lot less money. It is currently more to do with coaching and attitude both of which we lack.

On Coach - From a head coach perspective, there`s not a great deal out there that would improve us, we have a good coaching set up that all want to do there best for Wakefield Trinity

Wrapped up.

I'd be a bit gutted if Westerman left tbh. He's playing the best rugby i've seen from him for years and he's still got another two good seasons in him.

So much for making the decision if necessary, this suggests that threshold will never arrive.

None as of yet, couple of questions surrounding playing group/Coaching staff as a collective, nothing directly on Chester.

MC dodged that one quite well I thought. He did say that players and coaches have full support.

Bit worrying JM asked "did we really think we would beat Saints"? With that mindset how do you deliver a team talk as a coach?

Homme vaste gave a good summary. MC was asked about the acadamy for next season. Apparently decision has been put back a couple of weeks. There are 5 clubs for 2 places.

Couple of questions on under performing, few direct quotes below;

MC - We might finish 11th, it`s not from the want of trying and the only thing that is going to change that is a big cheque book.

Can we just take a look at Barnsley FC and their Billionaire but tight a$$e owner who employs Moneyball tactics and after avoiding the drop to Div 1 last year they are now in the Championship playoffs.

Key differences was not necessarily by buying players from unknown clubs for ÂŁ125000 because they had good stats on paper, but the appointment of their new manager has transformed the team.

Remarkable turn around.

That's because it is about money.
Same as every other business.
