Quote: Sacred Cow "To say Chester out is just daft.

BUT...i personally think he got it wrong by publicly stating that it wasn’t his priority and that finishing top 6 was. It gives a negative mindset from the get go and shows a lack of ambition imho.'"


Have to agree with this.
Of course its critical that we achieve SL survival but, Chester seemed to be writing off our only slight (very) chance of success and that isn't right.
Even if we're prioritising the league, publicly we have to sat that we're throwing everything at the cup game.
On to the game, what the hell are we doing.
Set completion (or lack of it) plus penalties conceded is just killing us.
WE can have a host of moves but, when we're turning the ball over on tackle 2 or 3, whilst in the opposition 20, we wont win anything.
Yes, there were some iffy calls but, the ref had a better game than most of our players.

Out of the cup with barely a whimper, so bloody disappointing and worst of all, Huddersfield didnt need to do anything special to secure the win.
Let's at least make it hard for the opposition ??

Just on a side note, I'm sure that Leigh's priority is promotion to SL but, it didnt stop them scalping Salford.
I wonder which side, Wakefield or Leigh will take confidence into their respective games next week ??

Interesting times - I wonder if this is a planned move, or if he's going because of a falling out? It puts a new light on Michael McThingummy and now Tomkins going to Les Cats - makes it seem planned ahead, as his players do seem to like playing for him - I couldn't see Tomkins going there to play under McBanana on a long term basis.

If they do go for another SL coach, there can only be 1 or 2 names on that shortlist - Uncle Bri would be a good shout, with Powell replacing him at Leeds? No disrespect to Chester - but he isn't a Wigan coach in a month of Sundays.

Otherwise, they'll go Edwards, which is a risk but a crowd-pleaser, or Aussie - and that could be anyone; there are even some odds on JD!

One thing I've been meaning to add on here is that the number of lost games is misleading.

In the not too distant dark days when we were getting tonked 80-0 it's easy to put fixes in place. The 'kids can't do any worse' and 'get someone in on loan' are viable alternatives to see what happens.
When you are losing by 2-4 points consistently, I don't think it is a matter of changing the team around. For me it is fine tweeking the team you have. Of course you may drop someone who has a stinker but generally our best team is our best team every week. Where Chester I assume is concentrating, is how to get the best out of that team.
The problem being, while he is tweeking, other problems seem to have surfaced, like Grix injury and Finn's injury/age.

I agree, all we need is a leader with a brain and the rest will fall into place. As a team we are really thick at times. Teams that do the smart thing to get the little things right always win the close games.
