Whoever gets the gig at K.R, it won't be Paul Rowley .....

D.B reckons PR has the Head Coach job at Canada & also that PR has illegally approached Senior Leigh players & coaching staff about joining him.

As far as DB is concerned & has eluded to, PR left Centurions to take up this job rather than due to Pauls claimed morals & integrity claims, of course we dont have Rowley's full version yet.

Could it be Baz & Terry taking over * dumb & dumber *

What can macnamara do with the players at KR. He managed to help a top club with very good players to bottom. He's made awful decisions regarding England selection, and he can't inspire a cock to crow!

Macnamara would be a disaster.

There would be some comedy value in appointing Macnamara and at least he speaks the language



Seriously though, I couldn't se him wanting the gig.
Rowley or Webster ??

Also, they could do a lot worse than Kear.

won't happen but how funny would it be if Radford walks out on FC after the grief starts again when they lose a couple,to take over at Rervers, the handbags that followed would be worth it

Steven Macnamara has been an apprentice to Trent Robinson for a couple of years now. As we all know TR is one of the best coaches in the NRL, which means one of the best in the world. Surely some of TR's wisdom would have been absorbed by Steven Macnamara, thereby giving the Hull KR team the chance to reach new heights.

If McNamara was the next coach, Hull KR if anything would regress with his negative dull style of rugby league.

I wouldn't call the Roosters negative and dull.

I fail to see how we can regress further than were we are at the moment.

We could get beat at home by castleford

Unfortunately for for Hull KR they have a veneer of real talent, but no back up depth. If Hull KR could get all of their talent on the field at the one time, then they could do very well. Terence Campese and Albert Kelly constitute one of the most formidable halves combinations in Super League. Kevin Larroyer is a very good player. A good coach would have an injury free side in the top 8 quite easily.

Larroyer is far from a very good player. He's average st best.

That's a bit harsh.

I wouldn't say McNamara had much of an impact at the Roosters other than putting out the training cones.

He's a Hull fan. That should help.

Quite correct

I've got to say I never quite saw what Hudgell/Hull KR saw in Chester when they appointed him. And if HKR weren't willing to play the long game and give him several seasons it seems a bit of a waste of time to be honest.

It also makes you wonder whether Peacock may have had any influence in the decision to sack Chester. Whatever reason the timing does seem odd.

He was cheap and we hoped for the best

That did seem to be the motive at the time. Though it seems another wasted opportunity, if the board didn't think he was the man now, to let him have pre-season with the players rather than whoever the new coach will be.

Hull KR cannot win against top 8 contenders without their star signings -- Campese, Kelly, Sio, Boudebza, and Lunt --- all in the active playing squad. You could have Wayne Bennett as coach and it still would not matter if the above mentioned players are not playing. Kelly and Campese are the most crucial ones.

Neil Hudgell needs to understand that whoever inherits Christopher Chester's position will face the same problems and get the same results as Mr Chester if the first choice players are unavailable. There just isn't the strength in depth at the club.

So you are saying there is no point having a coach? It all depends on the playing staff? I remember a time when Saints were in red hot form and were taken apart by a wigan team that consisted of quite a few academy players including Kevin Brown and Luke Robinson

No that is not what I am saying. What I am saying is that while you need a good coach there is a limit to what any coach can do when the number of top quality players at the club is limited, and if these top quality players are injured.

Pinning hopes on Campese (who is widely rumoured to be broken beyond repair) and an already bored Albert Kelly are foolish.

Their off season recruitment was pretty bizarre considering the small packsize and the entire fanbase wanting props. They also binned off 95% of their youth and went with a 27man squad for 2016. Insanity when one player is a long term crock and Lunt is as robust as a wet breadstick.

Then there was the misguided idea not to have a pre-season training camp but to send the entire team on community service cleaning old peoples gutters, gardening and doing the odd spot of litter picking - preparing Adam Walker, perhaps?

I'd worry about your own side a home defeat to cas even we didn't manage that and were in a right state

I'd be more worried about having no players to select from simply because of poor management.
