I’m looking forward to seeing what the young players can do. In particularly Bailey. Is he a natural scrum half? Been a long time since we’ve brought a half through the academy into first team!

It won’t be an easy game but let’s get behind the team.

A lot is been said of Hulls injury crisis but trinity have had to put up with it for the past month. They’re late to that party. I can’t quite believe the injury issues that the club and Chester have sustained since mid 2019. It’s truly astounding and we have regularly had 1/3 or more of the playing squad in the stands including our best strike players.

This is the only reason I’m willing to give Chester time. But make no mistake things need to pick up towards season close or we need to be looking at recruitment and/or back room staff.

I’ve been a Chester backer for all his tenure but I’m reaching my limit with the last 2 nillings. I truly hope he turns the team around and will back him to do so for now.

Not with the backroom staff and without a good assistant coach

Yes it's very unfortunate. Having witnessed Kershaw's moment with his family and the crowd chanting around him after his debut was great!
There's a few proud parents on here and rightly so. Takes some doing becoming a pro!

Its great we are giving a few young kids a go.

be good to see what they have got .

Think it’s a huge step up in every level for Connor and one I’m sure he’ll try his best , but don’t expect miracles. He’s been thrown in at the deep end when the team as a whole are on a downer so to expecting him to come in as our new saviour is asking a lot of him . And don’t forget he’s up against some pretty tough seasoned half’s in Connor and kelly . A good solid game is about all we can ask of him I think at this time in his career

Great to see BJB back!

After seeing the 17 sorry to say cant see anything than another hammering

really?, we have shaul, ratu, sneyd, tuime, griffin, johnstone, jones, ellis,taylor,mao,sao who would defo be in the 17, thats 11 out, so we pretty down, 2 teams doing it tough

Hi Ketty hope you’re all well, you know what I mean. I’ve watched Connor since joining our scholarship and he’s a strong, tough intelligent player who if there is nothing on is big enough to run it in like a second rower, has a good kicking game so hopefully he can bring them to the table tonight. I hope he smashes it because the only way to learn and get better is playing against and with the best. I know his dad will be proud as I was . All the best Connor, I know you won’t let us down mate

On Now TV it says Hull vs Wakefield starts from 6:30, but kick off is at 6. Anyone else getting that?

Yep, two severely depleted teams...

Walker

Johnstone
Atkins
Gigot
Kay

Miller
Brough

Fifita
K.Wood
Arona
Ashurst
Kirmond
Batchelor

That’s a decent 13 unavailable for differing reasons...

Looking forward to the game though and see how the young lads go for both teams...hope it’s a decent contest with the ball being thrown around!

Titus & Yusef on the bench.
George King plays.
No Liam Key, Walker or Gigot in the 17.

Looking forward to seeing young Bailey in the halfs!!
