Needs somebody in above him whos got a bigger coaching book. Chester seems to only have a couple of tactics and they've been found out. The players look unconditioned and tactically confused. They're struggling to even manage the very basics of the game. Chester seems to struggle to motivate the players

It’s not like we’re even playing entertaining rugby anymore, which is sort of why you could understand the inconsistencies in the past. This recent run is just a big joke. Hull KR beat Warrington but we’ll probably get thrashed by them.

Chester needs to go he's clueless. Selections and tactics a shambles. If he can't see what's going on hes not a coach. Picks kirmond then will whinge he's down on subs. Throw it to fifita and hope for best. Genius. Excuses over chop him now.

So after all the improvement he's made to the club you want to get rid after 2 months of poor performance in the middle of our worst injury crisis.

Great.

Only tupou Johnstone fifita ashhurst missing from 1st 17. It's not good enough, excuses don't wash anymore with injuries.

Welcome to the relegation battle.

Make no bones about it we are in trouble. Who is currently performing as poorly as us? Nobody. We have 11 games left, two of which are Warrington and another Saints away. Forget them, they’ve just both had their bad game they won’t make the same mistake again. Won’t get anything from Hull, Cas or Catalan either. Wigan are improving, we’ve got them twice. We meed to beat Huddersfield, Hull KR & London. Right now i wouldn’t fancy our chances un any of them.

Don't know who's the biggest fool Kirmond himself of Chester. Neither can see the chuffin obvious.

The guy said we'd challenge for the top 5 and have a crack at the cup. With the form we're in the top 5 is slipping away if not gone, and went out with a whimper in the cup. Lost to London twice, badly. Lost to Hull KR. Lost to St Helens who London have beaten. Lost to Warrington who Hull KR beat yesterday. Got nilled at home by the worst Leeds team in history despite having first choice pivots back.
Despite needing a result today we got thrashed.

Players making the same mistakes week in week out, most of them the seniors. No desire to defend after a scoring a try, this has been a season long weakness. Brought Brough in for game management, haven't seen much of that this year.

If it wasn't for those plucky wins over Wigan and Leeds around Easter...

It’s not enough to say “all the improvements” can you be more specific?

Well as a team generally competing for 5th over the past couple of seasons rather than million pound game like before he came.
Lyne has improved under him. Tupou has improved under him, I'd say Tom has too. Ashurst probably too.

It isn't going well at the moment but the players haven't suddenly become bad players and the coach hasn't suddenly become a bad coach. You've made it clear you don't like him which is fair enough but don't imply it has always been like it is now.

Just listend to Chris Chester on his post match interview and he says it as it is. The poor performance and lack of effort by certain individuals just isn't good enough. He obviously mentioned the lack of what he described as quality and that confidence is very low but as he says it's not going to get any easier and does admit we are now firmly in the relegation battle.The only positive is some players could be back for the Huddersfield game so let's hope that's a chance to turn this season around.
Nows the time to get behind them as it's going to be a roller coaster finish.

I completely understand that you can’t expect our youngsters to perform like our so called seasoned pros and have no complaint in that department .
What I can’t stomach is our defensive structures on our line ,virtually every time the devils got a set of six on our line they breezed through almost unopposed, on one occasion we had only two players from the goalpost to the touch line facing five ,lui and hasting had a field day and we’re almost untouchable.
I shudder to think what the wires will rack up against us it we don’t get our defence sorted

To be honest I thought you were referring to improvements at the club in terms of structure, principles, systems etc. Something that could be built on by the next coach and I was curious as to what you were referring to in that regard.

I don’t know Chester so there’s nothing personal in my opinion of his coaching. He seems capable of organising the attacking structure when he’s got some quality in the team.

I’ve said one thing constantly over the last 3 years or so and that’s that neither Chester or any of his staff seem to understand defensive coaching & systems. If they do then they must struggle to convey that understanding to the players.

We’ve had one year of good defence under Chester except it wasn’t down to him but John Kear. I’ve been consistent with that opinion for years so I’m not making anything like anything just because we’re poor now and for you to suggest so is wrong!

Agree. Our defence has gone backward since John Kear left.
