So to come into the team next week we have Batch, Bill (possibly), Kyle W (possibly), Brad W, Milky (maybe) and anyone else doing donuts in the carpark.

MJ has given his all for this club and it should be reciprocated.

Depends what he is asking money wise.

Although a few mistakes at crucial times cost us the win last night, the 17 players gave all that they had.
Some of the efforts, from Westerman and Arona in particular, were immense.
The young lads at FB and Hooker went pretty well too.

Until we can get over the line and win a game, the pressure on everyone continues to build.

Hopefully, with some fans back next week, we can break our duck

Use Alex Walker’s wage on him. Saying that we go on about Chester’s feelings but think of the players he’s messed about over the years.

One thing is for sure whoever is in charge next year they have to be recruiting now or if left will be asked to have players they haven't been party to recruiting.

so either back C.C
or make a decision.

Or be left with players no other club want.

From an outside view i would say that lockdown has certainly affected you. If you excuse the wording, Belle Vue is a tacky little ground but the home fans make it a hostile cauldron for the away team and after seeing us get pumped there often enough i would say the Wakey side definitely gets a lift from the home crowd. We (Wigan) have probably played differently too as we as fans generally get on the players' backs as there is an expectancy to perform week in week out. What i will say though is that concurring to some of the comments on here. Chester did look a broken man last night and i am pretty sure he knows he is under pressure. People in rugby league aren't generally well paid and the man has to think of his family. He isn't going to just walk away from a contract and as fed up as you are i would say stick with him until you can get a good crowd back in. The Wakey fans really are the 18th man and you need to play your part too.

I've seen this a few times from opposition fans and players. Belle Vue has never struck me as a hostile ground. Antiquated with little of modern life's 'luxury' yes, an intimidating ground, no. It's hardly the Ali Sami Yen.

Regarding the fans at Belle Vue being hostile, when reading Keith Seniors autobiography he referred to playing at Wakefield as the cauldron of hate.

For me both CC and MC share the responsibility.

Chester takes all the agro while his best chum gets plaudits for saving the club and steps back from tha flack at the present time.
Its a 2 way street Mr Carter provide the funds to give Chester a fighting chance,

Others on this forum are saying that this is one of the best squads that we've had, yet you say above that Chester needs the Board to provide the coach with money to provide a reasonable squad. which is correct?

Re: Chester out part 65 : Sat May 15, 2021 7:11 pm  

Chester needs to be backed up with money. Like the money he used to sign Brough, Atkins, and MCB for a second time (and didn’t use him). Mitch Allgood another waste of money. More recently Alex Walker. Signing Tangata permanently in off season then paying him off.
