Quote: Jake the Peg "People are being too harsh on chester IMO. Does anyone have any evidence that he's the one who has chosen the players and squad make up? Did he hand out big contracts to kelly and campese? Was he the one who green lighted tilse last season?

Didn't rob crossland come out and say the other day you've purposely chosen younger, lighter forwards as you're making plans for reduced interchanges - wasn't that when he criticised the Hull pack for being too big? Seems to be a club policy to me and not down solely to chester. How much input have hudge, crossland, smith and peacock had in recruitment and retention?

Last season he got you to wembley and you were only 2 points off the top 8 despite a bad injury run including losing your best player for most of the season. You also went undefeated through the middle 8's.

What do people realistically expect? You're one of the smaller clubs in SL (in income/attendance terms) and have very few quality young players who have come through your academy meaning you've had to backfill from elsewhere. You're probably punching at your weight in real terms around 7th to 11th and there's only really cas who have bucked the trend to some extent although they're still spending at the cap.

As for your overseas signings, campese, sio and kelly are top quality players even if 2 are injury prone - you sometimes have to take a chance on these players which can blow up in your face but it's hardly chester's fault.

These things often seem worse when the team across the city are doing better. I'd say if it hadn't been for the derby friendly bumming and the fact we've started like a house on fire then most rovers fans would have been happy with a point from your first 2 games. I've no doubt you'll beat a woeful wakefield side on sunday and think you have a decent shout against saints as long as you don;t pick up any more injuries.

Can your club even afford to sack chester and can they afford the salary for these coaches on everyone's shopping list?'"


Agreed. A bit like Radders at Hull. Until you get quality players in enough positions no coach will produce top results.

cf Mcdermott at London.

Quote: SirStan "Why would we be interested in Paul Rowley?'"

Don't want him, unless we're really desperate. Obnoxious jumped up little nob. Rowley that is.

His team imploded big style last year, were poor at defending under pressure, we're too gung ho and that speaks volumes for his skill as a coach. The wrong sort of skill for SL.

It was a question designed to illicit a particular response.

Your whole modus operandi for pretty much every post on this board.

There are some very good and very welcome (solely in my book) posters from the Hull club on this board, some of them have posted on this thread, they offer balance and valid points of view that are different to ours.

You're good at being a cock within the AP.

Edit; Apologies, I missed Pickering Red's post.

My post is a direct response to the post above his.

Quote: hull smallears "Kelly had his issues hence why he came over. Possibly they have resurfaced but could easily disappear again.
Earlier in the thread, someone mentioned Motu and how great our recruitment has been overseas. Prior to this season, Rovers have outstripped us in this department on a fairly consistent basis (on the burns, green, kelly, sio type of signings) I think you have overspent on very average players though, Tilse for example, and am not sure that Chester should get the blame for that.

As for FC fans being patronising, (not you that said it) this is pretty much un true. I see no gloating going on of any kind. It's been two games.'"

There's a difference between gloating (which to be fair you haven't been doing)and been patronising which quite a few of you have which is worse

Hoping a more attractive job comes up? Not keen on working with Hudgell and Peacock?

It's rather arrogant to assume every out of work coach wants to be employed by Hull KR.

Yeah, modabee, why not have a little cry if your sensibilities are so easily bruised?

Quote: Sandro II Terrorista "Yeah, modabee, why not have a little cry if your sensibilities are so easily bruised?'"


I'm not crying, quite the opposite. And I don't mean sucking tears into my eyes.

I'm not going to come on here and post platitudes or join in the "RFL hates Hull and Rovers" gubbins. If you don't like what I post feel free to block me.

As for the actual thread, it would be ridiculous for Rovers to fire Chester after two or three games. Give him until mid season at least. You are highly unlikely to finish in the top eight so your focus is on the Super 8s which shouldn't be a problem negotiating.

The problem at Rovers is the recruitment and retainment policy which I believe is little to do with Chris Chester.

Quote: ComeOnYouUll "

And you came to this conclusion from seeing how many games? Do you seriously think recruitment (or lack of) and retention had anything to do with the performance we gave in the cup final?

You have often quoted on the above board that you don't post on here. I assume this change in attitude to gracing us with your wit & insight is down to a thawing in your thoughts towards all things HKR, and not merely linked to 2 good performances by your own side.

It's a complete coincidence that this toad turns up on here after the dullers win 2 games on a wind up. It's so transparent everyone sees through him.

I can't listen to any George Harrison cause of this twit.

He used to come on stalking Ginger Spice. Not been anything from her in months.

Is she under your patio?

Trying to wind people up then soliciting a derogatory response may cause you some upset. Don't then go crying about it when it happens.

I take an interest in all RL matters, SirStan, but this board lost much appeal when Mrs B was banned and let's be honest it's been very quiet for months.

As for Hull - yes, we have been very good so far but experience tells me that things are liable to go belly up at some point.

Rovers will win easily tomorrow and beat Saints on Friday so you could easily be above us by next weekend.
