Seems Chester blames his middles has being one of his major problems yesterday but this is what I thought i witnessed yesterday

Fifita tried hard,did big minutes. Took ball standing still and was easily nullified by hudds

Green, nothing spectacular but cant remember doing much wrong ,but seemed to have little involvement in anything.

Westerman, started Ok but as game went on went missing a bit,not his usual self.

Arona, blowing out of his back side. Could hardly walk off the pitch at end of stint. Way past it ,stupid re signing

Batty,10 minutes on pitch ,did very little but little opportunity to have any influence.

Batch young slightly built second rower asked to do a job . Did OK ,but Chester doing kid no favours. I bet he looks at his brother with envy and sees how his career is blossoming under a decent coach at a top club. Get out while you can batch,Chester is killing your career.

So Chester had all his chosen middles available to him. I admit they were not impressive at all. However a bit of coaching could change things. But in the end ,they were his chosen players,he signed them and he coaches them. Funny how he never mentions that .

How on earth have we let this club get into this sorry state whereby the coach, who should have been changed probably two years ago, is still in position, while everything is crumbling around him.I wouldn't expect Chester to resign without his contract being paid in full because Chris has to look after himself and his family,so the onus is on Michael Carter.We will probably be safe this season, so I half expected Chester being allowed to see out his contract, but I am astounded that he has seemingly been offered another long contract, and has perhaps even signed it.Certainly Chester is picking new recruits for next season, so that seems to corroborate the new contract stories.Personally I don't really care how good the new recruits are because after a while they will be coached down to our level and quickly go backwards.
I couldn't talk about coaching without mentioning Cas.15-0,say's it all really!
I was taken aback on one of the monthly talk-ins with Carter and John Minards when John laughed at a suggestion that we might beat Saints,as if to suggest that supporters should accept that we are a 10 or 11 place team and its absurd to expect a win against the top side.Sorry,but after supporting for over 50 years I still expect MY team to be able to beat anybody, and if that dream goes that's when I call it a day.
Would also say that I've respect for the BOD and MC in particular, and think without them we may not have had a club,but IMO their lack of rugby league nous is certainly showing.(perhaps it's time to bring back Kath Hetherington,only joking)
Regards team matters, like lots more posters I can see how Tanginoa and Battye have deteriorated under our regime and they are hardly the first.A mention about Batchelor; he is not the finished article by any means, but I think there is a top player in there somewhere when he gets with a good coach.If he leaves the club,after giving Ashurst and Crowther 2 year deals, then we've totally lost the plot.
Regards fitness,we seem to have a reasonable standard of fitness to be fair, but we don't have the sharpness that other teams have.How long has our fitness coach been with us,10 years? Is there someone better out there with more up to date techniques?
I have rambled on too long and everything I have put is just my opinion of course, but that's how I see it.
I am going to see the season out, but if Chester is still coach next season I won't be back till there is a change.

Think you might want to edit this now........

What's happened?

Smart erse!
