He's famous for it. "We're doing it tough at the moment" seems to be a line he trots out regularly these days but what does it actually mean? Strangely, when we had almost half a team out against Leeds and Huddersfield beating both and losing by 2 at Castleford the season before last around this time, he wasn't saying it then. The line was " This is a team that will never get beaten on effort, the team spirit was all to see and we had guys out there who haven't played in the first team before"

That's just an example of what we were capable of without Miller, Johnstone, Tupou, Ashurst et al. No I don't think we're "doing it tough" we're clueless, rudderless, toothless, error ridden, unfit, have no leadership from the coach down to the captain and currently cannot compete for 80 minutes.

We are now one of two clubs still to win this season. The problem is that we have had many years in SL to have put together a competitive well trained squad whilst Leigh had only a few months.

The club and Chester have to face reality in so far if the former want to continue with the latter they must loosen the fiscal purse strings and give him more options on the playing front. If they don’t want to do this then Chester must go because he is singularly unable to get the best out of what we have and it is time to give someone with new ideas.
If both prefer the status quo that I personally see a long hard nervous season ahead once again, with this thread getting Longer and longer and the supporters more frustrated.

With all the coming and goings of the last couple of weeks, could the saga of Andrew Fifita be the crossroads for CC?

Mr Chester wasted the Budget last year . No more 3rd choice players or player reaching there last few years

3 day turnaround for both sides no matter what score its still defeats 4 pts for them 2 for us....not cherry picking anything what i say are facts one of the meaningless fixture was bo less meaningless than the other you cant say the one we won was meaningful but the deafeat 3 days later wasnt...oh and no big win at headingley was at saints ground
