I cant understand posters saying that we have tried using him in the same manner Salford did, I don`t think we have. He averaged around 10 minute a spell whilst at Salford, I can only ever remember him doing one spell like that, and that was were he was taken off the pitch away to Hudds after 7 minutes due to an appalling performance. Also don`t see how it is silly of Chester to try play a player that has played all his career in the second row, at second row?

We wont miss him here, I would say he is a luxury we cant afford but I don`t think he is a luxury, maybe a lazy luxury at best, he may go well for Salford if Watson gives him a kick up the backside but that is a big if! We can invest our budget on a player that gives a damn.

Apologies, yeah missed those two.

I agree about the "being professional" but, we've played him out wide when he would have been better down the middle.
Not sure how big he was in his prime in Aus but, he's huge and not that mobile.

Having said that, when he does take the ball in, especially in the opposition 20, he leaves defenders all over the place and this should create chances either for himself or for his teammates.
It's when the opposition is coming at us that he is/was a liability and unless the opposition ran straight at him, there was a good chance that the would get past.
Some of his defence has been bloody awful and ok, if he makes a tackle, the player knows they've been in contact but, from day 1, he has never quite looked fit.

He is a wasted shirt since the interchanges reduced. He had some good games last year but this season he has been lazy imho he should be ripping it up but I guess he is just too big to be fit for extended playing times although he has done the odd 80 minutes. If he is on holiday let him holiday with another club and use the 30/40 minutes for someone who really wants to play!

Exactly my point - and he has no one to blame for that but himself; conditioners and coaches, short of wiring his gob shut and fitting him with an electronic tag, can't prevent a player from eating crap and being a massive pi55cart.

Think youll find its hirst baldwinson horo huby caton brown(we didnt bring others on while he still here)and reynolds

Calm down old boy, not too sure on your point re MCB - He was not counted in the figures at the start of the season and we paid him for 5 months on a live cap that was my point. Missed Horo and Baldwinson as I already said, and yes Reynolds another one that`s gone.

Well he'll have a big backside to aim at

Since when did Watson become a genius who eclipses CC. Even for you this seems a very desperate attempt to denigrate Chester, why I don’t know.

Watson has had one good season with a limited resources whilst up until this year Chester had three in a row. Chester has a far better record and deserves more respect than that.

Chester’s future at BV for me is still in the balance with the next three games being crucial to both him and club. But as I say he’s still Watson’s superior. It takes more than one season to become a superstar in my eyes, if Watson doesn’t crash and burn next year then I’ll be a bit more inclined to agree with you.

Still it’s all just opinion and I’m bound to prefer mine

Just seen Darren fritz at 50 running out for runaway seagulls seniors and still putting the effort in ,now that’s what you called a quality overseas player , pity big lad didn’t have the same desire to put a shift in for us

Df was brilliant, sheer class

We have a long line of outstanding imports that couldn't stick around long enough to build anything on, back in the day..
I guess there were a lot of reasons for that.
It has improved over the past few years though.
