Wasn't the parting 'mutual'?

Chester signed Gaskell can not blame Poching for been left with a team made up of 90% of Chesters signing .Getting a lot more out of them than Chester did .I think Gaskell as been one of Chester worst signing ,and after what he signed in the last 3 year that is saying a lot That is why we are were we are

Trinity still need another genuine big experienced prop. The pack doesn’t have enough grunt to compete especially without Fifita and seem to get dominated easily.

Pity they can’t find another Keegan Hirst in the Championship……

I called it at the start of page 12 on this thread so not using it as an excuse after the event but the two day extra rest for Cas proved massive for me.

They dominated right from the start and we just never got going and seemed to lack energy and enthusiasm for the task right from the start.

They signalled their intent starting Watts who's been coming off the bench recently....we couldn't live with him and Westerman making real easy metres and offloading for fun....our forwards were just happy to amble in and get dominated on the floor leading to painfully slow play the balls giving the backs nothing to work with..

Not for the first time this season we reverted to panic rugby at times which made matters worse...a night to forget for sure...

Just hope the injured players are back for Monday as we need big changes...

Miller, Fifita, Batchelor, Aydin, Walker, Murphy, Shaw... should all come in if available and I'd rest/drop.. Arona, Battye, Hood, Ashurst, Pitts...

Lets hope Saints and Wigan is a belter today and they knock lumps out of each other...with our lack of effort last night and extra day rest might be a slight advantage come Monday if we freshen up right...

Fatigue was clearly an issue. We are not the only club that's ever happened to.

But we needed better tactics and squad rotation to handle that.

Saying that. I've just seen the McShane try. It's like a horror film.

No it wasn't mutual

We informed him that he would not be offered a contract.

I'd be looking at Ted Chapelhow from Newcastle, limited availability in the championship but he'd be a realistic option imo.

He would have made no difference yesterday so its a pointless point.

I'm fairly sure that MC came on here a while ago and said that we had been offered both Chapelhow brothers from Widnes (?) but he turned them down ??

I wasn’t making a playing point just confirming why the departure was not by mutual consent. I think you are getting a little to touchy in your support.

I'm more than fairly sure your right

It wasn't specifically aimed at you but he's been raised as a local lad we shouldn't have let go because he has passion but the point is pointless to me.

and how do you know that

Come on PT this is Scarlett world one in which we won every game against Cas that said player played in - except we didn’t.

Based on the fact the we never won a derby game he played on?

Where in the post did i mention the game please enlighten me because I thought I was just confirming the reason why it was not by mutual agreement. I look forward to your reply so that you can enlighten us all.

So based on that you can say that about the rest of the players 17 games defeated run v cas

You love the eye roll don't you.

Anyway, my point was made because one player wasn't the difference between the two teams.

No idea what you mean but to suggest he’d have made any difference when he didn’t when he was with us supports PT’s argument and wrecks yours.

I presume Vastman, your unusual silence suggests that you cannot find any reference to the game and my post was indeed only confirming no mutual agreement. I know accepting you were wrong is not in your DNA but in this case you clearly were.

Nope you are as ever choosing to miss the point by side tracking the real issue. I’m not playing.

I didn’t expect you would ever admit you were wrong but I think we both know you were.

You really have no life do you. You believe what you like, you normally do.

I have no life from the man whose entire existence evolves around the forum. There is not a subject you do not have a view on even if that is incorrect.
