| Lots of positives from yesterdays game :
- All the lamps in the floodlights were working
- Liked the look of the front of the Benidorm flats that seemed to have had a close season make over
- Ryan Hampshire had a belter and what a try
- Craig Kopjack looks the business
- Baldwin carried the ball well
- Ben Reynolds defended very very well, some quality tackling
- Jowitt had a great game
- Crowther, Batch and Horo were great in defense
- Randell is a tackling machine
- Big Dave looked to be back on track
- Arundel went well
- Corporate was full, excellent work by the Verity and her team
- Good defense in second half
Sort out the obvious game management problem where the team lose respect for possession after scoring first try and I think we will go well. One thing for certain Chester has several selection problems on is hands.

You’re wrong about the floodlights I’m afraid.
Also you can’t be serious about game management in a friendly in which we fielded about 26 players that saw Kirmond kicking goals, come on Belly.
Otherwise I agree.
Also a confession, you were right about PP, I don’t think he is a SR. He’s ok in attack but he simply can’t tackle unless it’s straight on. It’s not a lack of effort he just can’t seem to master it, he’s certainly not the new Solomona, shame really. He’s still pretty damn useful at prop though.

| I'm happy with this one, typical pre season game IMO.

| Yeah it was a good game to be fair. Think we showed some good play on both sides of the ball, just not quite clicking (as to be expected) and I feel a lot more confident about full back position after Jowitts masterclass.

| I have to call out Crowther.
He was better than just good in defense. He really shook people when he tackled them.
He had a role with ball in hand too but his defense was top notch.

Agreed
Really has been worth the investment and if he can get an opportunity, he'll go very well.
As you say, great defence and he's no slouch for a forward either.

| Last year when we beat Huddersfield away is where I really noticed his defensive dominance, didn't add much going forward but everyone has something to work on. Can see him coming in handy at times this year.

| Agreed, looks to have packed a bit more on as well in the off season which I think with his style of play can only benefit him, hopefully he takes his chances in 2019, we have a big squad with a lot of quality but he seems to work very hard and I believe his chance will come.

| It's really great to see our home grown ones coming good, particularly pleased for young JC who must have had dark days last season.

Thats true but it's the dark days that make the man. It's funny how often players who are hailed at a young age and get their breaks far to soon tend to squander their careers - Westerman is a great example. They end up with a sence of entitlement.
Where as in our case all our youngsters have had to fight, TJ was about to call it a day when we gave him his shot, Jowitt has been up and down like a yoyo but hangs on in there, as you say Batchelor has hardly been a walk in, Batchelor is an odd one in that his talent was obvious once we signed him but I don't recall any great fanfare when we did. Best of the lot is Woody, took him years to really get noticed.
I'm sure Crowther and his dad would have preferred an easier ride but class will always find it's way through.
