Absolute classic made worse by the fact the hooter had gone and they were in front. He only had to die with it.

1) You don't know that
2) Our finances were poor then too. Which is why we had to sell some of that team from the 60s. Neil Fox didn't leave by choice.

Wakefield coach Chris Chester:
"You should never lose a game from a position like that. There were things on a rugby field I've not seen for a long time. Some of them were not brave enough, that's the scary part. We started to creak in the first half and the second half was abysmal.
"Some of these players just aren't good enough. Some are struggling with the intensity and the pace of the game. We are embarrassed by that second-half performance.
"Maybe some of these guys looked at the teamsheet and thought they were in for an easy game. There are a lot of good young kids at Huddersfield and they brought some real energy. We weren't tough enough as a group."'"
Well mr Chester that is what you get when YOU sign a lot of old players and keep giving the new contracts.They are just not too enough now and to slow for the pace of the game .The problem is YOU have caused this problem

I was sat in the away area just behind our board of directors, was class to be fair with the pre-game meal and “executive” seating. It was nice to see how the other side live! Don’t think I’ll be going again as it was hard enough to secure the tickets but I’ll settle for going once.

Really. What user name would that be then. Go on, enlighten me with your fountain of knowledge.
I haven’t gone away, and was not bullied. I was fed up of all the personal agendas by some on here. I continue to follow it, though, as believe it or not, I do actually care about the club. Also, I have other pursuits too, nowadays which is taking up more of my time, so I don’t get the chance to read every post, and comment if needs be.

Tbf, CC didn't know that the speed and style of the game was going to change because of covid, when he signed them.

| If Chester won’t go ,he needs to drag himself out of the bookies or off the golf course once in a while and go watch the under 19s who are playing superb rugby ,he might just find some players there who have red ,white and blue running through their veins and are busting a gut to get a run out in the first team and put some pride back in the shirt. Having said that he’ll be coaching them then and we all know how that turns out on a players career .

Trust me, I've had enough of this too. I'm just not as dramatic about it as some.
Today is unacceptable. Simple as that. Change is needed.
But some seem to want to burn down the whole house in a tantrum.
Change the coach. Fine. Make sure its a better one
Lose some players. Great. Make sure they are the right ones and don't just cancel contracts because they are up for renewal
Don't slag off people at the club just cos it's trendy when they are trying their best, whether player, coach, board or backroom.
And above all, for me I'll support the club by going to games and paying TV subs no matter what they do.

Couldn’t agree with you more, I don’t understand where some think we will be with even less funding available!

Agreed, some want the CE out, the head coach out, all CC's signings out, all players over 30 out and some supporters are going to be out.
Belle Vue is going to be quiet, I don't know who would be left.

| Most fans just probably want a new head coach with fresh ideas and a decent track record (like in any other professional sport he’d not have his contract renewed). No need to make it personal to him or anyone else…

There was no covid 2 year ago when we went overboard with signing old injury prone players .We have been playing slow unattractive rugby for the last 3 years so we were behind the rest of S L for fast hope rugby then ,so you can see why he is out of a depth as a S L coach now

Happened last Saturday night, and I got the flight over Sunday morning.
Yes, we’re back home now, she will recover, but fell heavily and hit her head on the pavement.
It’ shook her up, she has massive swelling and black eye. Wake up call indeed, and a lesson to all, stick together

Well that should help motivate the team, how would anyone feel if the person in charge blames you for his failings. I doubt Fifita dropping the ball would be the reason for the defeat that was due to once again not being able to score for 70 minutes. I cannot believe the players would be happy with his constant berating of their performances.
TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS CHESTER

It appears to be a growing problem both at home and abroad. It is so difficult to keep a drink in view at all times. I hope last nights result gave her a boost even though the game itself would not have been good for the cardiovascular system.
