Hmm. It's the only Cup we have a cat in Hell's of winning. I am very disappointed but I couldn't go, so can't comment on the performance. All I can say is, we are a worse side than last season. I held judgement on this till now, especially with the fixture list we had, but the HKR performance was far from completely convincing. As someone who got berated pointed out, we were very poor for 20 mins in the first half and could have gifted a game to a team we are better than on paper. Yes, we put some good stuff together...in the end, with some good play, some lucky breaks and a strangely beneficent Mr Child, we got a scoreline I never felt comfortable getting carried away with. I suspected we'd get beaten last night and so it was. I think the 'Chester Out' title is harsh at the moment ....but I would have to say there is something very wrong with the way we are playing when in possession and it needs fixing fast or we will be having a very poor season and maybe even a middle 8 scrap. At the end of the day, who is out there better to replace him, unless we get John Kear back!? If we destabilize the ship now I would fear for us big time. Although I have my concerns, I think it's cool heads time, as badly disappointed as I am by this defeat and another Cup Final free year

| Interesting times - I wonder if this is a planned move, or if he's going because of a falling out? It puts a new light on Michael McThingummy and now Tomkins going to Les Cats - makes it seem planned ahead, as his players do seem to like playing for him - I couldn't see Tomkins going there to play under McBanana on a long term basis.
If they do go for another SL coach, there can only be 1 or 2 names on that shortlist - Uncle Bri would be a good shout, with Powell replacing him at Leeds? No disrespect to Chester - but he isn't a Wigan coach in a month of Sundays.
Otherwise, they'll go Edwards, which is a risk but a crowd-pleaser, or Aussie - and that could be anyone; there are even some odds on JD!

| One thing I've been meaning to add on here is that the number of lost games is misleading.
In the not too distant dark days when we were getting tonked 80-0 it's easy to put fixes in place. The 'kids can't do any worse' and 'get someone in on loan' are viable alternatives to see what happens.
When you are losing by 2-4 points consistently, I don't think it is a matter of changing the team around. For me it is fine tweeking the team you have. Of course you may drop someone who has a stinker but generally our best team is our best team every week. Where Chester I assume is concentrating, is how to get the best out of that team.
The problem being, while he is tweeking, other problems seem to have surfaced, like Grix injury and Finn's injury/age.

I agree, all we need is a leader with a brain and the rest will fall into place. As a team we are really thick at times. Teams that do the smart thing to get the little things right always win the close games.
