Wakefield Trinity • Re: More realistic

It was a fairly balanced preview though didn’t touch on the biggest investment which is on the coaching and conditioning front. Arguably the most prominent improvement on the face of it from 2019/20 seasons.

If I’m being brutal then it was becoming a job for the boys with Finn, kirmo migrating to the staff side despite having any real experience. It certainly showed how much Chester was lacking quality back room support. Thank fully the club looks to have wised up this year.

It mentioned a number of players leaving but let’s be honest of all the players that left only BJB is any sort of loss.

Kirmond was here two seasons too long. Atkins barely played, Brough showed very little since early 2019 in his first few games, Koppy was average but wasn’t the pack leader we needed when the chips were down despite his experience. Gigot ... I couldn’t be bothered with him when he appeared to step aside and let an opposition player ghost through him.

All in all we are slightly stronger than last season on the playing front from a quality perspective, less so in depth.

It’s going to be difficult to predict though and I honestly could place us between 6-10th. Considering we were 1 win off 9th 2020 after all the issues on and off field id day anything less than 9th would be disappointing.
