One of Chester's new signings played 65 minutes still out injured for last 3 matches and no sign of him coming back .The other two played first two now out till who knows when .W P has been dealt a bad hand signing wise .We have a weaker squad at present with the injured players ,than we ended up with at the end of last season and were only 4 games in.Think it's the first time I have been to a match and seen two forwards playing at in a match .

Wrong again Whitbread played one day you'l get something right

I was fairly upbeat after our first 3 defeats as I knew the effort was there 100% of the time throughout all 3 games. That first half against Leeds was atrocious regardless of our centres etc. Really important game next week. Guessing Miller won’t be playing.

I take it you mean Johnstone ??

No guessing about it mate out for 11 days according to sky
Then again theres a lad called walker whos quite handy.

Do we actually have a quota spot free ??

Pretty much the reason we were in disarray on the edges in defence. Had we 2 centres tonight it would have been much closer.

I thought we looked really lightweight in the forwards until Fifita and Battye came on, but the game was as good as gone by then. Suppose it didn't help having to play two forwards in the centres.

I really like Whitbread but to me he looks like a 13 more than a prop. Has a good pair of hands on him from what I’ve seen.

I still think we are one big beast of a prop short.

Whitbread looks like a 13 all day for me. Has a good pair of hands and I’d like to see him play there next week with Crowther.

Murphy was the victim of some early nerves and having a forward as your centre partner on your debut isn’t the best and the defence on edges was constantly stretched and numbered up wrong.

Thought the second half Murphy was much better though.

Full focus on Toulouse to get the season going. Still early days and a win next week is exactly what’s needed.

And losing Miller after 5 minutes.
So we had a hooker at Half back where he hasn't been training and a hooker that had to play 80 minutes.

Quoting myself as I must apologise. i was meant to quote Poptart's comment "should (sic) have smashed them up the middle". And that's what this was in response to.

No it wasn't. The reason we were in disrray is because our defence from the middles was lazy and ineffective. That's why they constantly had numbers on the edges.
