Maybe he has but nobody is listening? Who knows but I did shudder when Ashurst got a new deal. He's been a fabulous servant but he along with Arona and Atupou have taken one injury too many and they all should be able to spot that.

We need older heads nobody can deny that but they have to have a minimum level of wellbeing and we seem to be ignoring that.

Wonder if any of the 4 signings he's talking about today are middles.

Let's hope so, though we need them now and not for 2022

Sorry mate, but I’m not buying this good bloke and has the club at heart routine anymore. If he loves the club that much then why is he milking it dry, because that is what he is doing. I also don’t recall him kicking the door down to come and play for us either. We’re the only gig in town and he knows it!

The thing is i think in time he would get another gig, maybe as assistant at first but eventually as head coach somewhere, maybe in the championship. Even a stint in Union to broaden his horizons. But the longer he stays and fails here the more long term damage he is doing to his career. The worse his record gets the more unemployable in the future he becomes and it has to be affecting him mentally. For his own good he should step down, take stock and move forward whilst he still can because much more of this his reputation will be shot to pieces for good.

No point in buying more second row players as we have so many old second row players under contract. The one good second row man we had Mr Chester decided to make him a prop and against Huddersfield did not look half the player he was.Young Batch who is far better than JC and Ashurst is out of contract .This Coach as not got a clue

The names I am hearing are ok but not earth shattering. None will have the effect of likes brough drew or solomona. Few if any would get a gig at a top club. Typical ok wakey signings and we have to be realistic. However when you factor in that if things run to form ,those players will have at least 10% drop in form under our coaching. So I just think this is a bit of desperate gesture by the club who refuse to face the real problem. Having said that their signings would be good if we are brutal and remove the rubbish. Unfortunately ones that need removing are still on contract.

So if they do agree terms with Batch, are you saying he has got a clue and you were wrong on this subject?

Wakefield have already confirmed the signing of Lee Gaskell from the Giants, while Rugby League Live has previously revealed the club are chasing Liam Hood, Tom Lineham and Samisoni Langi.

Or maybe Batch is keeping his options open?
Ashurst would have snapped the hand off for a 3 year deal and maybe JC still thinks re-signing at Wakey is his best option at the moment?

Maybe so..... But that isn't what he said.
Alegend thinks its Chesters fault for not offering him one.

Which of course none of us have any idea either way.

If our middles are filthy and gash, are we getting any non filthy middles?

Cos we have a coach who doesnt know what hes doing.lets sign another centre on quota spot so unless lynne us dropped or theres injurys one of our quota spots wont be in team every week

Your like a news paper take one paragraph of what some one said, and it sounds completely different.

How did Liam Kay go on? Second stint at 9 again is it something he maybe spending more time at next year ?

That was the only thing you said in that post.
