I take an interest in all RL matters, SirStan, but this board lost much appeal when Mrs B was banned and let's be honest it's been very quiet for months.

As for Hull - yes, we have been very good so far but experience tells me that things are liable to go belly up at some point.

Rovers will win easily tomorrow and beat Saints on Friday so you could easily be above us by next weekend.

That's about five times you've mentioned her recently so you perhaps need to look closer to home for the obsession.

Maybe we would set our sights higher than a failed championship coach at least I would like to think so

Seriously??!! What are you on! You do realise there's roughly about 15 full time head coach positions in the northern hemisphere. My understanding of it is, your damn lucky to get a head coach's position.....never mind picking and choosing.

I'm concerned for her where abouts......more and more so.

I don't see Mrs B on this forum so why exactly if it's so slow on here are you posting on it.

The usual fc collapse ( and it will happen) will see you scuttling back to your sh#t pile.

Your witless vindictive posts are winning you even more friends than you have on your clubs forum.

Back to the coaching issue.

Anyone who wants to see how poor Chester is should watch Trent Robinson analyse the Roosters Saints game on the sky website.

The game is fine details and ruck control....to quote him' back a bit more....that tiny step there'.

One of the best 3 coaches in work.

Love this guy.

He'll be desperate for the Rovers job if we offer him it........

And your sorce is?

Brown over ketchup every time.

Ooh you are saucey

Thanks Frankie Howard.

On a serious note those who haven't seen it the Trent Robinson video on sky is worth a watch.

Why has nobody suggested Andrew Webster as a possible new coach. Should have got the job when Morgan left, currently assistant coach at NZ Warriors. Previous to that he was highly sought after by Aus clubs, coaching at Wests Tigers and Parra. He is a future 1st grade coach who knows KR and was always passionate about the club.

Today isn't helping him, the high point so far is the dancers

It's hard to support Chester after the garbage that's been served up so far

I do feel a little sorry for Chester. Yes, all the frailties are his fault for not rectifying, but the recruitment from the club on a whole for the past few years has been woeful.

Really

Well i want him to personally succeed, yes.

But I thought adding size to your forwards would of been high on the list for the board and JP in the off-season. Plus you need to find a core of your team and add every season. Not keep buying players that are of similar standard.

My point is, you cannot blame Chester solely.

Try watching us play its chesters coaching and tactics I want rid now

Look i agree with you, mostly, but sometimes you just have to say 'we are not good enough,' and perhaps build again. God knows FC have had to do that on numerous occasions in the last decade.

Not really his fault that you lost. He coached you to scoring 3 tries to 2 and has a massive injury list to deal with. I hope he stays

Recruitment has been patchy at best for the last few years, and I agree to some extent that this is it catching up with us.

Chester was given a cleaner slate than most new coaches, but on the other hand asking him to build a squad almost from scratch was a big ask. Tbf, it didn't go that badly in 2015.

Something went badly awry with our preseason for this year. Hudds and Hull are strong teams, but we were massively off the pace in the friendlies. He and we have had a rough trot with injuries, I know. this was a chance to buy some time. The fixture we needed, tbh, an opportunity to get a first win on the board. And it's been missed.

All that's gone, and I'm not in favour of a punitive sacking. On the other it currently feels like he's dug a bigger hole than he's capable of climbing out of. Even if we're finally ready for the start of the season by April, I can't see much (any) prospect of us avoiding the qualifying 8s again. It's just a question of 'what's the best strategy for staying up?'. Continuity come what may, wait and see if we click, or cut our losses and go in another new direction? A pretty bleak set of options.

Still, at least we're shipping fewer points!

We were shocking today, so we're Wakefield though. Even if CC left who could do anything with that squad, not even Wayne Bennett. it's absolutely leaderless IMO, we were clueless at times.
That game should be a home banker but with this squad and coach there's no such thing anymore

Who is the idiot who has just claimed your backs are better than ours? The only one I'd consider swapping for his Hull FC counterpart is kelly and only then if he got himself to weighchers first

Well after watching that garbage today, that's me out until he's gone. Whether that makes me a plastic fan or not, I can't waste my precious time on a Sunday watching us turn out that $hite.

Exactly.



It's not all about Chester, and I don't expect a 180 turnaround in our fortunes if he were replaced.

It's not even about 'fault' or blame. Is he the best available and attainable person to remedy the errors that have been made? It's hard to say 'yes' with much conviction at the moment.

As I said before, your squad is rubbish. Pretty much any coach in SL would be getting the same results from this squad with the injuries he has to deal with. The blame lies more in the retention and recruitment than coaching
