This Maverick brand is Chessies trade mark. He allows his teams to break from 'the structure' and express themselves (He did this at KR when they had a fully fit team but injuries curtailed this and KR decided he wasn't right for them, lets be honest Wakefield were the winners there).

The structure that almost every super league team is playing is making the game 'dull' and the teams that break the 'norm' are the ones which are entertaining to watch. Lets be fair, this is the same squad that Mr Smith couldn't get playing together. I bet you that with CC in charge all the players turn up and leave with a smile in their face, and when you enjoy what you are doing you have won half the battle. Keep it up my man

To secure top 8 we probably need 3 wins, or even just the two. As at stands at the moment Leeds, Shudds & Salford (assuming no points re-instated) need to win 7 out of 9 to get to 20 points. That's a big ask and they will be doing well to win 6 out of 9! HKR need 11 points out of 18 left. All these teams have difficult games to play and the way it looks, I suspect that 18 points might be enough i.e. 2 more wins.

Looking at our remaining games, I'll like to think we will win the home games (be nice to do the double over Leeds & beat Cas). We might even pick up something away (Salford?).

We may still end up in the M8's, with some sides around us who are due to improve - what if Leeds, Shudds and Salford hit a purple patch at the business end and suddenly, the M8's becomes a really scary prospect? I would caution against hubris - we're in a good place now, but the season is far from over.'" No need to worry about him...out injured for 4 months https://twitter.com/cthuby10
