pity John Kear couldn't come and join us at same time as CC

Not convinced with Chester, hope he proves me wrong. That said we don't know who else was in the frame, maybe it could've been a lot worse

You take pessimism to a new level, I love it.

If we were to get relegated will Kear still come in next season? At least we’ll have somebody to iron the kit for free.

Good luck to him (he'll need it!) and great to have Kears experience back at the club.

It's gonna be a long hard season but it's time for us all to get behind the new coach, team and chairman.

You never know, Chester might make a local lad done good.

FFS. Still no compo to pay. Every cloud I suppose.

Delighted about Kear coming back, his knowledge and enthusiasm will certainly help.
Chester leaves me with the same feeling as when Agar was brought on board.

Really hope he proves us doubters wrong and keeps us in SL this season

Jk will be back when we in championship then

Be interesting if Batley make the middle 8's along with us.

A decent pair of appointments IMO given where you are at the moment.

You could've definitely done worse.

If your reading some of these comments Chris, ignore..Clean slate as far as I'm concerned, welcome aboard. As for Kear and the juniors, hopefully Mr Kelly will stear that ship.

Welcome on board Chris, you've got my backing.

It would be nice to see a few others do the same and get behind him rather than sit there whinging all day.

I don't really know that much about Chester, but I can see a similarity between your Club and mine, Salford. When Harris got the boot every fan wanted a big name in to replace him, and what we got was a local lad, Iain Watson with minimal experience at the helm, and an old wise head, Tim Sheens helping to steer him. A lot were skeptical but it's been a revelation for us both on and off the pitch. Both have complimented each other really well so far.

I can see Kear being the wise head to help out Chester. Hopefully they can do what Watson and Sheens has done at Salford and really start to pump in some enthusiasm and good old hard work to see you gain momentum again in SL.

Good luck, and stick with your Club, they need the fans to buy into it now more than ever.

I don't mind the Chester appointment, I am hoping he will be able to put a rocket up the players because that is what they need. The problem I see with Chester is that our main issue is defence and that was also KR problem under Chester so I am interested to see if he can put it right for us.

As for Kear, I agree that the club needed a rugby person making decisions high up because MC has openly admitted that his knowledge is limited. I think it is a good role for Kear to work in as his knowledge of the game is excellent but I do worry as to what could happen to the youth development.

Overall I am relatively pleased but the one task Chester has is to keep us in the division.

Am sure JK must have had input and will be consulted as the season progresses.
Leedscat, try smiling, you may enjoy the feeling.
