If i was was there would be a few people looking for new employment Monday morning!

Why not can't be any worse!


But not the Tony Smith at KR, he's rubbish and doesn't know what he's doing!

I didn’t expect us to win but the way we turn the ball other and gift penalties and 6agains we don’t give ourselves a chance.

Up the Trin

If you mean Brian Smith is brother, he is the one that got us into this mess If he had not left a Wakefield team that was so fit Mr Chester would not have been able to live off the basic of that team for 3 years

Same here. 1963, I was 10 years old and watching the cup final on the telly. I was hooked from that point on and I have never, never felt as despondent about the club as I do at the moment. I actually stopped listening at half time, I just knew what was going to happen cos it happens in 90 per cent of the games we play. The sad and worrying thing is that Im not really bothered.

There has to be something in this, as the player's weren't happy getting up at 6 to train.
It appears we are now reaping the benefits of 'player power'.

Think Mopsey`s talking about Casper, was sacked for JK in 06.

Same here I am passed it .never though I would say that .May stop going to home matches just because I got season tickets

Sorry if I misunderstood, but at least my post as got a lot of truth

Neither did the club. That's half of the problem. Why on earth couldn't we expect a win, Wigan are no great shakes this season. I think from the top down we expect a loss and hope for a win. Wrong attitude IMO

Kevs Head has nailed It, it used to hurt when we lost, now the fight has gone. We've gone from 'hope' to 'expectation' but the only expectation now is to lose.

A lot more fight from the kids we had to play in 2011, was a lot more creative when our halfbacks were Tommy Lee and Gareth Moore.

Yep, I'd go for the Peter Roe side and the 11th hour cobbled together team when Crusaders pulled out over the present situation.

Chester’s after match interview suggests our problems is in defence and we need to work on it.

The highlights of the tries can be found on Sky, the scores appear to be just replays of the first but they aren’t.

Pleasing to no there is nothing wrong with the attack ,Any team that gives away the ball like we do .,as got to do a lot more tackling than a team that can get a high completion rate with the ball

We are losing Matutuia, we need a replacement pony tail.

Watched them as a neutral mate. Don't think the commitment or one on ones are the problem it just seems a total lack of communication when defending the edges. Since Lam has been coach Wigan don't usually get their points on the edges unless its a kick but they had a field day tonight.

More often than not we seem to get hammered by this rule. It’s absolutely destroyed us along with the strip rule. Either we haven’t wised your to it or top clubs are just better at exploiting it but we get caned a lot. I’ll be glad when it’s gone and scrums are reinstated.

We need to get back to proper rugby league ASAP. The quality has seriously deminished and I put a lot down to two things.... fixture congestion and speeding game up through six again and scrapping scrums. It’s all about fast direct plays and tiring opposition out instead of inventive play unlocking defences. Watching whichever team gets tired first fold more often than not due to repeat sets with no break etc.

The quality of the game has diminished a lot and you can thank the top brass for that allowing these rule changes and fixture congestion.

If I run a business like the RFL/SL it would be doomed to end up in the gutter.

Left sided defence torn a new one two weeks running. Fair to say whatever they did to ‘fix it up’ after last week didn’t work.

Massive concern that left edge defence. As you say pretty much all the scores from past few games have come down that edge. Some serious work needs to go into that this week. That starts with Ashurst, Miller who need to make the correct decisions when to slide and then Arundel and Senior where they need to position themselves. Between those 4 players they need to improve in defence.

I think Lyne and Kershaw seem to be defensively quite strong. I hope we give Kershaw a shot for next year because recently I’ve been impressed with him and of you’d ask me 5-6 weeks ago I really wasn’t a fan of his.

I suppose the problem we have with our coach is the same as with our squad: finances. If we don't renew Chester, what can we realistically afford? An assistant who "fancies a bash" at the top job? That is no way forward.

I have to concede, however, that it is hard to be positive moving forward. Let's be honest, we have gone backwards ever since JK went to Bradford. So, was the quality of the team based upon JK or Chris Chester? The results since then have suggested JK was the dominant factor.

If CC stays, I'm expecting more relegation struggles, due to a tired squad and an unusual approach to recruitment (let's get loads of average full-backs but put them behind a tired pack). Nothing I have seen since JK went to Bradford suggests we will ever get near a play-off place, or be ever anything other than relegation battlers.

The real questions are, however, whether we are exactly where out finances dictate we will be, and whether we can afford anything better.

So does that throw the Arundel ,can pass and tackle ,out of the window, Did the left edge work better last week when Senior was in the centre ? Sorry to say I think Ashurst great stint is coming to a end it a age thing slowed to move across the ground ext.The next 3 year should show

I think he means the former scrum half Tony Smith who was coach a number of years ago not Brian Smith who you refer to.
