As a Castleford supporter I can not understand why TJ is not playing !!!!
I would imagine he is already looking for another club as we speak and I would imagine there will be plenty already in touch with him

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.

Weird - I posted this in the thread about Wane leaving Wigan!

Have you been drinking mate??
