Quote: Beverley red "If he is or is not the right man for the job I am not sure but who else is there? the only Aussies available are available as no one will give them a job & if they are not good enough there they are not good enough here. I wish Chris well & hope he is given time to come good. He has been coached by some good coaches & seen enough of a winning culture at Wigan to at least know what is expected & how to do it. If he proves a good choice get him tied up long term to bring much needed stability to our club.'"
This lot had the contenders as Chester, Poching (strong rumour he'll be joining the back room staff on hullkrfans), Gene, Cummins and Glenn Morrison:

For Hull KR I think Chester is (prospectively) the best fit, and he's served his apprenticeship. People calling for a proven coach - the difficulty is they're mostly in jobs. And tbf, any coach is limited to some degree by the available resources. Tony Smith when Hudds were struggling and Brian McDermott at London, show that even the best struggle without the right resourcing. Or, I suppose, alternatively that anybody competent can succeed at the richest clubs.

As for due process our chairman owns the club & bankrolls it he can apoint his grany if he wants. He obviously thinks he deserves a chance & my point is that he has come through the ranks at one of the best run clubs in the world (Wigan) wether he is up to it is to be seen but I will go with the clubs call untill proved diferent.'"
Well said, when people on hear are saying he has not done very well in the short time he has had since he took over, give him a chance Rome was not built in a day wait till next season when he has had pre season training then lets see what he can do

| Hopefully things will start off better next year when Chester has the back line players in place who can defend and not make mistakes. I think 3 years is far too long for an inexperienced coach . Fortunately NH is too shrewd a business man to employ his granny , the club belongs to the fans at the end of the day and will be still in existence for years to come.

| Do we know who his No2 will be? I would offer it to Stanley, who has done a decent job at Gateshead coping extremely well with the complexities of being a feeder club and dual registrations coupled with his other duties at Rovers. He has worked wonders with Beharrel and a few others, and I have to say this, Stan seems destined to be part of Rovers future.
Perhaps there is a strong case to promote Pete Grayburn, who is doing a sterling job with the u19s in what is a very strong competition. The club might not want to lose him in that area though, it is imperative Rovers u19s start to compete regularly in the play-offs and Pete has just about secured that aim, so continuity might be a stumbling block.
I wouldn't want Shaun Briscoe of Dave Hodgson to be leapfrogged into the role although they do have the qualities and experience to take on the role. I would prefer a seamless move, a pathway from boot room to head coach (Alah Liverpool with Shanks, Paisley et al), and Stan fits that profile.

I've read rumours that Willie Poaching may be heading our way as No.2

30596_1286642206.jpg If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.
