He isn't, were just good at making average players look good. He's not the only average player we've improved, when playing against us

Difference between the sides, one is well coached and drilled, the other relies on individual players, when they don't fire there is nothing to draw upon. Lino very quiet, Miller looked busy but drifted out of the game too much. Johnstone not looking himself and getting no ball.

To be fair we made Liam Hood look like James Roby.

Really poor performance was that. From the Off it’s like we were trying to score off every play the ball, and not building any pressure at all, wasting good field possession with really poor 5th tackle plays. The service Johnstone got tonight was atrocious, it’s like having a Ferrari and just leaving it to rot in the garage. Tough Error from Max but I was more disappointed with his 1-1 attempt on Turner tbf, just got brushed off which isn’t good enough at this level. Both sides poor and error strewn.

Disgraceful performance from majority of players. When you’re best players are Lyne and Kershaw you’re going to be in trouble.

Can’t wait for Chester to go. Attack is atrocious.

That was very poor. Precious little idea with the ball and some soft defence made an average Cas performance look good. Miller took his two tries well but his creative play was non-existent. Lino was dire. They kept a handle on Westerman and we had no real plan B.

And what has happened to Battye this year? He’s been average at best and thats being generous.

Discussion on here prior to the game was who would stand down for TJ to come into the team, may as well have kept Liam K in, for all the ball that TJ got. I can't recall him getting one pass.

The game was summed up, for me, at the end of the first half when there was 13 seconds left on the clock and Westerman ends up driving the ball in from about 20m out. Clueless.

Yep. Didn't see TJ get one pass all night.

Thought Westerman was head and shoulders above anyone in our side in the first half but as the game progressed he seemed to lose interest, can't blame him.
Battye works best when he has a support player running with him, a bit like what Watts was getting tonight.
Kyle Wood offered nothing that Brad Walker couldn't do.
The ability to follow the player taking up the ball is non existent, summed up when Fifita offloaded in the tackle and no one was ready.
As has been said on another thread, Ashurst getting the ball stripped twice and the only time TJ got the ball was when he was helping out.
Cas were bad, we were worse.

I said same we had 5 mins while billy got dealt with the plsyers knew what time was left so thought we would come up with summet no letsjudt drive it in same at end 10 seconds left give it to tommy to drive through them shocking.i was stood east stand at the north side and when we attacked we where so flat and lini and miller didnt kniw what was happening.
There was only 1 sub made in first 25 mins and our forwards looked knackered why wasnt subs made earlier.we have one of best finishers in game but he gets no service we at time are cluless in attack.for me reece lynne kelepi and brad walker are the only players to out with any credit...i believe the wins v hudds and kr will end up been the worst results in a ling time.

We had better players than cas on field tonight on paper but they have a coach

Another 2 points thrown away - that was disgraceful end of story .

By our upcoming fixtures i see around a 6 - 8 loss streak coming .

is 6 points enough ?

How many ball steals did we suffer tonight? 5 or 6 ?

6 pts may be lol seehow we go in 2 week v salford think decisions need making if not good

We lost Cas weren't very good but got more help from the man in the middle than we did so please don't start bulling Powell up for that performance. Max made a crucial error which unfortunately turned out to be the difference. So let's not start the Chester bashing again. Cas got the rub of the green tonight on the pitch and also in the refs eyes. You could see it in Powell's face at the end most things went their way tonight don't think it was anything to do with his so called super coaching abilities.

Cas weren't very good? What does that make us then? Powell doesn't have to be a super coach but 15 on the trot against us is pretty damning don't you think? He outcoaches Chester every time. You can use the ref all you want and I agree we got some dodgy calls but the best team won and 4 tries to 2 sums it up. Quite simply we were awful - again!
