the game got away when we took him and others off after 20 minutes not while he was on

We need 3 wins and we'll probably get them, but something is wrong with that team. We can't defend and our attack is embarrassing, brough and miller don't work together they've never looked comfortable. Brough was brought in to kick teams to death but the kicking game is non existent. Seems like players not playing for Chester. Danny Ward for me but can't see him coming or Chester getting bullet. If we lose to hudds on Friday it's looking scary with our run in. But long term he's gone as far as he can for me.

On the face of things you sound about right but, is it fair to judge the guy on a season that has been blighted with so many injuries.
We have a busted squad, players having to come back too soon just to make up the numbers and youngsters being thrown in who aren't quite ready.
The real disappointment is that despite having our first choice spine, we are utterly inept in the opposition 20 and our basic handling and ball retention just isn't good enough, which, because of having to defend so many additional sets, puts further strain on the squad.
We really do need to respect possession far more.

We need a director of rugby and a new conditioning team. Without them, the best we can hope for is a mediocre end to this season

It’s 22-6 when he comes back on. We haven’t scored since the beginning of the game and only have 28 minutes left for me we are out of the game at that point

We were never convincing at full strength early doors. Top five a certainty we were told. Yet all our wins barring Hull away could have gone either way. We were good at Leeds but they are poor and then failed to score a point in a home defeat. Hammered by London twice scorelines flattered us. Obviously injuries are a factor but they are at any club, if chester stays someone needs to be brought in to support him in the John kear role.

Don't let him drag you down to his level.

Carter will not sack Chester no way. But he's got to ask why when other players come in, why don't they know how we play Ok We've lost a lot of players through injury but the players that have come in should know our system. Top teams have players come in & it's like they know exactly what to do. Is it Chester or the other coaches fault Our halfbacks are just not cutting it yet we've signed them for 3 years & one for 2 We're going to have to wait a bloody long time to win something & this signing players that are just good players aren't doing it if we can't spend the money we're not going to compete with the big boys

As a Wire, he didn't look fit from the start. Was felled by a tackle round his ankles, and hobbled off. Hope it's not serious.

I certainly don't think Chester should be sacked, but to say 'most' of his team are injured is a bit much! Ironically the last match we won was at Hudds wasn't it? Randell's first game back, no Ashurst, England, Miller, Brough..... yet we won. We haven't won any since they have returned. You could argue last night we had 5 players out who would make the 17, but it's always arguable who you would call regulars. It has been a nightmare re. injuries, it was our turn I suppose, we've been lucky the last 3 seasons in that respect, but I still think some of the performances when we had almost everyone available earlier on weren't great. I think next year is Chesters' last chance if you like to take this 'team' forward, after all it's he and his players who have been constantly crowing about playing in semi-finals, talking has to be done on the field eventually.....

We were pretty good last season and didn't have one, you keep plugging this one but it doesn't stack up. You did it on another post when you said JK was above CC, he wasn't CC was the top dog, Kear was an advisor. It worked OK but it worked just as OK without him.

Also I'd love to know a RL club where these directors of rugby have made much of a difference, do Saints or Cas or Wigan have one? Leeds do and and he's their first ever, that's working out well isn't it

Sadly, I think the our recent dip isn't particularly the number of injuries we've suffered; we should still be able to play decent rugby with the "stand-ins", but it was when a certain person left to take over the reins at Bradford Bulls. Kear and Chester, were the nearest we have been to a dream team of coaches. Chester just doesn't seem to be able to cut it for me on his own.

Kear doesn’t seem to be cutting it at Bradford either . Just don’t get the obsession with him at the moment .

Not so much of an obsession, cocker. He just seems to bring the best out of players and gets them to "play" when their backs are against the wall. Don't thick he's quite got the raw material at Bulls that he's had elsewhere.. Silk purse and sow's ear and all that. I'd have him back at BV tomorrow.
