CC has had no help in preparing to be a coach, both of our previous coaches were inexperienced. We should not be looking at getting rid of Chester but getting him some assistance, Kear would be my choice. He is at Batley and doing Wales so could come as a consultant.

Tim Sheens came a did exactly that when Harris was in control. That didn't last long. To do something like that is like a vote of no confidence in the current coach from the board. And it never ends well.

All I am saying is that it is about time the club brought in some experience in the coaching department. When they appointed CC Hudgell said that the opportunity may have come too soon. That appears to be the case.

Echoes of Malcolm Reilly / Martin Hall. Dark days.

It's nothing at all like that.

Oh good god, I'd tried to eliminate that from my mind, thanks for reminding me!

Quite.

No matter how bad things got under their regime, relegation wasn't likely.

a win tomorrow and all in the garden is rosy see how you get on you could surprise your self if nothing our result proved we are no flash in the pan and our pack dominated Salford in the same way as you you played two very physical teams pre season tomorrow on your own patch you will be a lot different

I really would love to wholeheartedly agree with you, unfortunately I don't share your confidence in our current coaching set up and their ability to overcome their evident shortcomings .
I have a feeling that we will come out strong in the first half and make a real game of it, possibly going in at half time ahead on the scoreboard, but I fear the frailties that were so evident last season and in the two friendly games of late, will come to the fore as the game wears on.
I do hope I'm wrong in my assessment and that my concerns prove to be both premature and unfounded, but like many other Rovers fans it seems, I am not confident about a win at home tomorrow.

I've backed KR first half - Cas full time

If your players aren't fired up for this first game - then youre doomed

No Sherlock

Can't seem to get myself up for the game yet. Hopefully this will all change later.

At least the sun's out

Take your dog for a nice walk, that'll get you plenty excited.

I like dogs
