Maybe you just don't understand betting then. Fair enough. Was just a question to the people adament that we have no chance of winning another game

| 6/5 (with 365) is way too short of a price to take for Wakefield, 8/11 even worse for Cas. I’ll have my weekly accumulator and that’ll be that.

| Quote: Prince Buster "Something is clearly not going right and it needs sorting.
Mr Carter will not sack Chester so I think he should do a couple of things himself.
One thing he could try is ask Saints if he could spend some time over there and get to know all their backroom staff and methods. I am sure it would be a right eye opener for him and may help him identify what needs altering behind the scenes at our club.
He could also get someone in who is very experienced to look at our back room set up with a fresh pair of eyes and t identify the weak areas.
People say the buck stops with the coach , but coaching is a team effort and I am sure a stronger more experienced team to help out Chester would improve things.'"
Can we not persuade Kear to come back in and assist Chessie, the same as Leeds have done with the Featherstone coach ???

We've missed Kear big time.

I regularly back against Wakefield and never back them. Completely opposite to your take, I see it as a way of winning either way. My biggest loss was backing Bradford (and covering the draw) in the million pound game.
My oldest bet was backing Saints to beat us in the 1979 CC Semi. I ripped the slip up with great glee on the Headingley Eastern Terrace, as it was then.
I always prefer to lose the money. I am fortunate to be able to afford this and (in response to another poster) I would never divulge the stake nor post a copy of my bet. Lets just say the financial loss has to hurt or the winnings give some consolation to make the exercise worthwhile.

| This has turned in to an incredibly difficult season but not sure on the logic of changing coach now with so few games left and no prospect of the new coach being able to being players in. Still think we need 3 wins to be sure of staying up. Just need to get to the end of the year and look to next season.
Said on here a few times Chester should be judged on our progress after 100 games in charge which he crossed this season I believe. Currently he has failed to maintain the course of improvement since 2016 but there is some serious mitigation as to why the season has collapsed, however we should be putting in better performances than last week and a bad one at home to Cas on Friday could really pour some petrol on the fire. Seriously though - who is going to come in and a) improve things within the budget b) be a realistic long term appointment? People jumping up and down calling for JD to be brought in are assuming his sentiment for the club matches theirs.

| Quote: RWB "I'm not part of the Chester out brigade just yet and am backing him to turn things around. That said I do hope MC/the board are pushing him though and not allowing a free ride - questions need to be asked about us not being able to do the basics right and the attitude in some of the games this year (Catalan, London x2, Salford away etc).
I get injuries have played a part, but it doesn't excuse some of the drivel we have been served this year.'"
This is spot on for me. When you consider where we were when he took over Chester still has some credit in the bank and deserves the opportunity to turn it around. And he has had some adversity to deal with this year with the injuries, although it isn’t an excuse for everything we have seen, we chose to go with a big squad to be able to deal with situations that we got and didn’t manage it well. But now we have players back i expect improvement to come. That said it can’t be allowed to drift forever and we need to see a positive reaction on Friday.

I think that's fair enough, sometimes the grass isn't always greener is it......we have to be realistic about who would replace him........but like you say, another poor effort on Friday and they are all gonna cop some serious flak and they will probably have no real defence! After all when you consider Salford have only won 1 out of the last 6 or 7, and that was us, same really with Catalans, now Cas are hardly on a hot streak are they.

| Hudds aside, the past one or two months I’ve seen the same amount of passion and pride in this team as the 2015 team. Just willing to roll over and die straight from the off. Christ, a lot of people though losing 36-6 to Wire was good.

Yep I get what you're saying, pride's a dirty word nowadays! But if you're waiting for Chester to be sacked, I think you will be waiting quite a while, but who knows what lies in store eh......

| Hi Wollo,re your last post
I am now beginning to understand why people would bet against their own team.If Trin loose, the winnings can soften the blow. I can also see that if they opt for the points for or against system, that can finish as a win-win situation.I still won't back against Trinity though,it would be a case of me hoping that I loose money.Nope!
Your mention of the 1979 semi brought back my best memories of my time watching the club.Was there at Headingley seeing Burky,Toppo,Fletch,and I think Keith Smith do their stuff in a very tense but successful match.

Chester won’t get sacked whilever Mike Carter has influence, they’re too close which is never a good thing if you’re in a professional set up. More likely to be moved upstairs whether it’s warranted or not.
