Quote PopTart="PopTart"There are loads of Cas players who don't progress.
People have said the same about every Wakefield coach when we lose and especially when we lose to Cas.
It's no more true after a loss than Chester being a super coach after we win.
Kear used to get loads of stick on here but now it's Chester's turn so the same people want Kear to come back and fix everything.
At the end of the day we were playing with a debutant who had two trainng sessions, a kid who's only played one first team game before and not played at all since at least March, a fullback on the wing, a half back who although athletic with many skills no other club wanted to play at halfback...... Against a guy who played State of Origin a year ago and has played for Australia, a well sought after scrum half, a dual code international who is renowned as being one of the very best at what he does and an international Hooker with a couple of grand final and challenge cup wins to his name
And we were in the game.
To pick a team up who is busted and been beaten by a massive margin a week earlier is also a coaches job. It was always going to be tough but we improved which is what I ask of the coach.'"
I agree PT.
However, Chester was the coach last week as well ??
Yesterday was a huge improvement on last week, no doubt about it.
My comment on Powell improving players and Chester, less so, was a general comment for comparison.
As for which is the better coach of these 2 - there isn't any discussion neccessary, although some credit at Cas obviously goes to Powell's coaching team.
With Trinity last season and this, our squad looks better on paper than our results and although there have been injuries etc, just look what Cas did when they had the mother of all injury crisis' a couple of seasons age.
I seem to recall one of their props playing in the halves for a couple of games.
Their whole attacking set up is streets ahead of ours and defensively they are better too - with or without injuries.
