Carter had thoughts over the last 6 months if he has taken the club as far as he can, getting more difficult to compete in SL without a big money backer.

Search continues to increase quality of first team squad.

I thought it was all there and ready to go according to minards. Now we’re still negotiating and prepared to walk away?

Westerman`s got other offers that he is considering, club want to keep him.

Priority signing list; Hooker and Second Rower (I would of thought SR was the last position we needed!)

Come next season; another middle and potentially a new Fullback.

I would think prop over second row but what do I know plus I would concentrate on this season over next.

Couple of questions on under performing, few direct quotes below;

MC - We might finish 11th, it`s not from the want of trying and the only thing that is going to change that is a big cheque book.

JM - Did we think we was going to beat saints? We give it a good go - We haven't yet played the teams yet that we sat down at the start of the season and thought we could compete with.

In 17/18 we over achieved.

Unless the club know something we don’t i.e. no relegation for this year sounds like they’ve got their heads stuck firmly in the sand

Concerning given the history, its sad that even now they're still trying to welch out of their obligations.

Still in contact with Cronulla with regards to AF, waiting to see if he is in there plans going forward.

Absolutely no dialog on Relegation been scrapped this season.

Any mention of Chester ?

None as of yet, couple of questions surrounding playing group/Coaching staff as a collective, nothing directly on Chester.

Question asked, what is the plan for change if we don`t turn things around in the next 5/6 weeks.

Response along the lines of ultimately if a decision has to be made in the best interest of the club, that call will be made at that time.

On the face of it we have a reasonable squad that should be competitive in games however once again I sense that it’s all about money, it isn’t we have produced successful teams with a weaker squad and a lot less money. It is currently more to do with coaching and attitude both of which we lack.

On Coach - From a head coach perspective, there`s not a great deal out there that would improve us, we have a good coaching set up that all want to do there best for Wakefield Trinity

Wrapped up.

I'd be a bit gutted if Westerman left tbh. He's playing the best rugby i've seen from him for years and he's still got another two good seasons in him.

So much for making the decision if necessary, this suggests that threshold will never arrive.

MC dodged that one quite well I thought. He did say that players and coaches have full support.

Bit worrying JM asked "did we really think we would beat Saints"? With that mindset how do you deliver a team talk as a coach?

Homme vaste gave a good summary. MC was asked about the acadamy for next season. Apparently decision has been put back a couple of weeks. There are 5 clubs for 2 places.

Can we just take a look at Barnsley FC and their Billionaire but tight a$$e owner who employs Moneyball tactics and after avoiding the drop to Div 1 last year they are now in the Championship playoffs.

Key differences was not necessarily by buying players from unknown clubs for £125000 because they had good stats on paper, but the appointment of their new manager has transformed the team.

Remarkable turn around.

That's because it is about money.
Same as every other business.

If it’s about money how do reconcile our performances with those of Salford who have no big money backer, low season ticket sales and rent their ground.
