Arundel has been unlucky with injuries and his continued presence in the squad may limit the opportunities for Croft who needs more game time.

Similarly Tangata and Navarette offer nothing more than Aydin and Gwaze who are younger and hungrier and have potential (probably cheaper too).

Wages saved toward a proper 7 and 9 !

Seen Danny Orr is leaving Cas at the end of the season, would be a good acquisition to our coaching staff although I assume that he has a HC role lined up somewhere.

Yes, why would D O swap an assistant SL job for another, head coach at a lower league club would be the probability.

I guess it will give Chester another excuse for next season, team taking time to gel and all that.

As long as they can do five drives and a kick they will be fine

The thing that stands out to me regarding Chesters latest comments, is the fact that he intends to recruit quality. Well I don't know if he has worked out yet that players perceived as quality have agents who can find them quality clubs. If a quality player comes to the market then the likes of Wigan,Wire,Saints, Hull Leeds Catalan are the clubs he would choose. Should he not get a gig with them ,then he has to look at the rest and out of all that group Wakefield must be the bottom of the pile right now, So Mr Chester, good luck with finding quality because you are going to have to do an hard sell to get them or alternately offer them far more than the top clubs are willing to pay.



Secondly for those that are happy to stick with Chester in the hope that poachins arrival will answer many of the problems , here is one to ponder. A good coach should be able to work well irrespective of his assistant. If it takes a good assistant to put things right, then the coach is obviously doing things wrong, so why is he being employed.

5 drives then kick it into touch

If I was a player the last club I would want to play for would be Wakefield Trinity with Chester in charge, just being honest after Chester has thrown them all under the bus to the media and taken zero responsibility for our performances, if we think that potential incoming players aren't going to look at that when looking at which club to sign for then we are wrong.



Thankfully there are quality coaches out there that will see the value in the players that Chester is throwing under the bus and wanting to get rid off, players like Pauli who whilst hasn't set the world alight looks 100 times better than he ever looked in his time with us.

Oh please don't start the Pauli Pauli think. His issues are nothing to do with coaching. He isn't that much better at Salford, they just have a team that can cover him while they get to the line for his crash ball. He did that for us when he wanted to, then stopped wanting to. That's his personal issue and you'd be one of the first moaning about it if we hadn't shipped him out.

As I said in my post he hasn't set the world alight but I have seen him play a lot better in a Salford shirt than I have in a Wakefield shirt, I am not too sure how anybody can argue with that? He looks a lot fitter as well, or I am guessing the 4 stone weight loss was probably just a coincidence in your view? Funny how you latch on to that one part of my post and not question the rest of it. Because you know it is right and there is no excuse for it.

100 times better

Sorry but he doesn't, he looks exactly like he did when he played for us, he hasn't changed a jot.

Well I thought he was absolutely dreadful for us tbh, he couldn't get in our starting 17 and yet he gets picked and scores in a challenge cup final. Played on average 54 minutes a game for Salford since he signed for them also, so I would say yeah a lot better in every aspect of his game IMO.
