Lol, Chester is nailed on the coach for the foreseeable. Fits Carter's bill as in cheap and a yes man. Also this is the dictionary definition of a Chester signing. As in cheap, over 30, no better than what's we have and where we have depth. If true about Adam Milner that will be another.

Chester is only a yes man in one respect and that is to accept he can only spend what the man in charge says he can spend. I think Rocky and Walker will be leaving so if we retain Max which i hope we do that would leave us with one recognised fulback which is not enough to get through a super league season. So signing Gaskell is a good move imo as he can cover other positions as well.

Personally I am sick of Chester's treatment of Max Jowitt.

The lad is very good and his confidence has been hit by a poor coach failing to recognise his attributes and work with him not criticise him

If Max goes I am finished after watching Wakefield for 60 years.

I know a decent player when I see one and we don't need another full back.

In what way has CC treated Jowitt badly, he didn't make him drop the ball nor has he dropped him. We need another FB regardless of whether Max stays or not as Walker is not the answer.

Hampshire and Walker both injured, Hampshire on the verge of a return, so Max gets singled out for making a mistake. Guarrantee first opportunity to drop Max and he will. No mention of the two ball strips from recently re signed player.

Says who?

Pure conjecture.

What matters is how Max plays today as that will determine whether he next week.


I don’t get why fans think homegrown players should get special treatment. If Max has another shocker then I’d want CC to consider Hampshire as an alternative. It’s not about individuals it’s about the best team to win the game.

I love seeing youngsters make it more than anything but it has to be on merit and form. Max form has been pretty good let’s hope last week was a blip.

Tbf depends where we would play Hampshire …Max head and shoulders above him at FB and can’t see him replacing Miller or Lino apart from injuries . Fingers crossed for the 2 pts tonight !

Funny how it didn't matter how well Max played, he got dropped as soon as someone who could play fullback was available.
You not been watching any games from the last couple of years?
No reward for good performances and no punishment for crap performances.

A little over the top don’t you think? Max definitely looks a little more of a natural at FB but head and shoulders above? I think not.

He wasn`t outstanding, none of our players were tbh, he had a solid performance and when you say again do you mean you thought he was outstanding last week?
