It's all getting a bit rediculous now imo. 8/9 or 10 players, then that's fair enough. But nearly the whole squad?? Way too many changes for next year. Chester is on a hiding to nothing next season.

Proper pi$$ed off with this news, although I appear in a minority. Nev was a rock in our middle, and the best defender I've seen in Red & White.

Way too many changes in 1 off season, I fear the worst for 2015. 2008 was the last time we had so many new faces and we flattered to deceive that year.

Liking the look of new backiline, need some good recruitment now in the forwards if we want to make the playoffs.

not been an expert on your squad by any means but some good looking youngsters I would say just a couple of experienced pros in the forwards to help them along you may have an overseas quota spot to fill now and perhaps an English born forward with experience is Cavell still available did a job for Cas last year did not work at FC due to injuries but done everything in the game if not who is available ?

Will Weyman be next to go there is something wrong at the club what is a contract worth ? Apparently not the paper it is written on that's for sure Makes you wonder was the old system the best you signed on until the club wanted to get rid or you were put on the transfer list at your request but the club had to agree a fee with another club it's too easy it seems to rip up a contract

Looks like two quota spots available now, Carvell, not a chance, well for me anyhow!

From what i am hearing Weyman is staying home as well. I thought Costigan was ok and a liitle bemused to see how much flack he is getting.With so many changes it will take a great coach to do well ,is Chester a great coach?

Re: Costi Gone! : Thu Oct 30, 2014 7:19 pm  

I thought costigan was excellent our best defender by a mile

Re: Costi Gone! : Thu Oct 30, 2014 7:32 pm  

Hopefully the loss of his good defence will be lessened by having other better defenders in the squad than previously,to cover, time will tell, end of the day if they don't want to be here we're better off without them!

Re: Costi Gone! : Thu Oct 30, 2014 8:06 pm  

If Weyman does stay at home that means Rovers have lost
Poore
Costigen
Walker J
Weyman
Hodgson J
Lovegrove
Netherton
That's six players who either were front rowers or could cover the prop position too many IMO with none coming in looks bleak to me What makes it worse there are none around half as good as the worst of the bunch Come on Chester and Smith now earn your money do something about it NOW

What's the odds on one or both of them re-surfacing under their old mentor Wayne Bennett at Brisbane ?
