Scarlet and the rest of resident doom mongers will be getting all giddy and excited again this week in eager anticipation of our next game, after the Catalans have lost today, and the expected backlash will be against Trinity. I may have to put the whole lot of them on Ignore.

Well, guess what, CC, they weren’t crap 3 and 4 years ago when John Kear was holding your hand and you had two consecutive fifth place finishes. It’s become very clear to many of us who was ultimately responsible for the success of the team for which CC was happy to take credit a few years ago. However, when things have got tough following JK’s departure, it is remarkable how the nucleus of that successful team which brought CC the plaudits has suddenly become a set of talentless triers – no flies on CC is there.
God knows what the lads must think when they hear their coach basically calling them rubbish; it’s bloody disrespectful and does he honestly think it is going to motivate them. It just goes to prove how clueless he is and what a decent bunch of players we have when they put in a shift like last night. They turn up notwithstanding their coach constantly whining about them, complaining about the quality of the squad and blaming the absence of so and so player in order to try and deflect the blame and criticism from his own coaching shortcomings.
A good workman never blames his tools so CC should stop the bleating, roll up his sleeves and get on and do what he is paid to do. If he can’t sort out our attack in the next few games then for gods sake do the right thing and let someone else take over before it’s too late for the club and we get relegated.
He needs to take a leaf of the books of Watson, Powell, Kear and Ward who have all shown how to get teams playing rugby on limited resources. The squads that those guys inherited and have coached have had their fair share of injury woes and have not comprised many, if any, of CC’s so called ‘A’ players but they have nevertheless been competitive - and one of the main reasons for that is the structure and discipline that those coaches bring to both defence and, in the department which we are, and have been so clueless, attack.
I’ve said it on another thread and I’ll say again here, watch the best and replicate what they do. Nail the plays that break down defences in training and let’s see what happens come match day when those plays are put on in a structured system of attack. Just bring some structure to our attack and let’s see where it gets us – this team of players are perfectly capable of executing; it’s the coach who needs to stop whinging, pull his finger out and make sure that his team are prepared on match day.'" there lays the problem you can not expect to get the best of anyone if you don't respect them in the first place

| I really don’t like calling for anyone’s job, but enough is enough. Chester has been lucky that there are no fans at the grounds as it would not be a very nice place for him right now.
The club has to be bigger than the coach and the owner to that end.
This is the first time that I’ve ever thought that we could go down because of our lack of coaching. Looking back at our time in super league I’ve never expected us to stay up with some of the squads we’ve had but this squad I’d really expected too half. This can only be the coaching.
Time to change, I’d expect to be sacked if I wasn’t performing in my role. If it’s beyond Chester ‘ which I think he has proved’ then time for the club owners to man up. Friends or not the job comes first.

I wouldn’t worry about me like I don’t care about what you post on nearly every subject but the number of others that are now starting to question all aspects of the club and coach. I suppose you could suggest to them that they should buy the club which apparently you value at £1.
I would also point out that I have never made a reference to our fitness or refereeing but I am sure you will have because I don’t think there are many things you do not have a view on and feel everyone should know what it is.

You really are a transparent troll. I didn’t value it at a pound, as many genuine fans on here will testify it was MC who offered it to anyone with the ability to take it further than he could for one pound.
The crucial bit was take it forward, so is that you? If not name someone who will, either put up or shut up as they say.

You call me a troll, you who is generally loathed by the supporters from other clubs on the forum for going on their page to ridicule their teams when we win. I would have thought you would want Chester out because a 9 win record does limit your opportunities. I note you do not like them coming on here but they have the opportunity not given to us. I exclude some who are just confrontational much like you were.
We know you are on text terms with MC therefore can you ask him what plans they have to reverse the inevitable.
I actually admire your money raising exploits to advertise the club, it’s just a shame that Chester is not helping the cause. What do the leaflets contain to encourage attendance because I have been a supporter for many years and I have no desire to go like many on here and we are the so called diehards. The others that are not so dedicated need to see a winning team or at least one with more than 9 wins.
It would be a win, win for you because the club would increase its profile by winning and you could return to the forums of other clubs to enlighten them on the world according to you.

| Rumours going round on social media about no relegation for this year. Might be what saves Chester from getting the sack before his contract runs out.

We won’t go down anyway as Leigh are truly dreadful. That shouldn’t take away from the fact that the coach should be held accountable if the results don’t improve pretty damn quick.

Didn't hear no complaints in 2019 season about rocky? Last season he broke his jaw in the cas game n carried on playing and carried a knee injury all of last season before finally getting it operated on this year. In the try for Hull as you say he bottled think it was more of realising his jaw had gone again. Some people on here are plain keyboard warriors thinking they can unleash nasty comments.

| Can not think of any occasion when Rocky s let the team down.
He's probably played more positions for the club than any other player on the books at present. I would like to see him holding down a regular position on a regular basis, but his adaptability will probably prove too valuable to the club at the moment.

Don't think he's ever had the luxury of playing 1 position all season at any club he's been at, always moved to cover for injuries. I too woould like to see him at just 1 position as I think this would help improve and develop him more.

| Think Rocky was the reason why we got some ball against Hull Is kicking near the Hull line was first class forcing 5 or more drop outs .Think it shows he is too good to be left out of the team

For me that is exactly his problem and why he has become a bit of a ‘jack of all trades, master of none’. He doesn’t let us down wherever he plays but never truly excels either as he never gets chance to nail it. It is likely to remain that way here as well with Jowitt now first choice fullback and Miller & Lino the halfbacks. If i were him for the sake of his career if i got the chance to get a regular spot at another superleague club i’d probably take it. Thats up to him to decide though.
