I know it's a bit harder in rugby than football but wouldn't it be wise to get a coach sorted out ASAP and let him try and get the players he wants in ? Was Sio a Sandercock signing (I know he signed after sandy was sacked but you know what I mean)
Will it be Chester sounding out the new players for you guys or hudge ?

But the implication is it'd have to be a fed-trained hooker or half. And looking around what might be regarded as the clubs more likely to sell, there's not much jumping out at me.

Were in safe hands mike Smith is doing it

I think the assumption is that Chester is very much plan A.

There's maybe something to be said for keeping options open, but clarity will be needed at some point. I guess coach, ceo and chairman will work together on recruitment and retention.

Surprised you dont know,you seem to know most things about rovers !

Agree,on the salford forum the fans seem to feel lee is the best option. Works hard and while maybe not the best going forward,somebody has to do the hard graft.

You are correct, however the CEO and chairman should have zilch to do with any sort of recruitment choices, they have zero knowledge of professional RL, they should have a say on the financials only. It should be the professional RL coach and professional RL coach only who makes the decision...

The current approach over the last four years, after Morgan was relieved of his recruitment duties , has seen us slide into the nether regions of the competition , has seen us sign some terrible mercenaries and terrible players full stop, lose most of our best players, and has ensured any coach worth his salt will not go within a mile of the place...and pretty much ensured we are on course to be playing outside the big boys league once again in the very near future...when they are bleating next year it should be remembered that they are the authors of their own mis-fortune..

I hope that Chester is not a "yes-man" but money talks unfortunately, he may well just fall in line...

Zzzzzzz as always

He's right though.

Why wouldn't Chester be a yes man? His very coaching future depends on it.

You mean you thought there was something else that made him the best coach available?

Like what? Go ahead convince me.

Sorry , you have lost me Bob, i fail to see where i have indicated Chester is the best coach available, as i indicated the best coaches won't come to serve under the regime/procedures we have now.. i was merely hoping Chester might be man enough to say he wants full control...

As we have both said , it is highly unlikely given his highly paid job depends on pleasing his superiors...

How much do SL coaches earn?

Don't you know? I was under the impression you knew the salary details of everyone connected with Rovers.
Perhaps I was right all along and you know three fifths of four fifths of feck all.

Our potential signing josh mantellato,scored 4 trys and 24points and man of the match in newcastles 42-6 nswcup match. Opinion seems to be he is wasted in 2nd grade.
