We all know Chester is going nowhere because if he was it would have happened before the start of this season. I expect he will be given at least another two year contract so based on history expect stagnation and a constant fight to avoid relegation.

Unless we recruit the pivotal players who will set up the attacking structure for us, sadly they cost a fair fortune.

Much as I hate to say it, I thought Pauli was outstanding for them...him and Inu cut us to pieces down our left side

Been saying it for ages FIL - a changed player - for the better - since he left us.

Salford certainly made good use of him last night.
Nobody deemed able to tackle him and when we threw 3/4 players into the tackle, they had plenty of space on the back of it.
His offload for their try on the RHS was excellent.

The problem apparently was not the effort but the failures of the senior players. I am sure we would all agree if this was a one off performance rather than the fact it occurs regardless of who we put out to play.
I have watched two championship clubs who have more of a game plan and structure than us.

I just watched two championship clubs with championship defences.

And they also have championship attacks. Sadly we also appear to have one of those.
