Your having a laugh, Chris Chester

Not for me.

I don't know what I think to Chester.
I've liked how his team played at times but they clearly had more money than us and have two quality half backs.
Can he do the same job at our house?
Not sure. Hope so.

The same in different ways for the others too.
Each has a quality we could do with but has something we might not be sure of...........just like the players we have. That's why they are at Wakefield Trinity.

According to League Express today, Morrison claims he hasn't been contacted, but that doesn't mean he hasn't contacted Trinity.

Whoever the club pick, they must back him because this time they have not taken on an incombent, recruited from within or gone for the option of a big name. I expect whoever they pick it will not be universally well received but this time it is their choice and if the club fails once again it will be quite rightly layed at the door of our chairman. He will have picked his choice and provided what he is willing in financial support.
I hope he chooses well because this is his most important decision he will have taken during his tenure because whoever it is will have to remain for the rest of the season.
Whilst writing I for one would not go for Chester, preferring Kear or Morrison who appear to have the strength of character needed but this may not be what the club want.

I don't know enough about Chester but I do know that a strong personality will be required. I don't think JK is the one - why would he want to come back for more grief.

The problem with Hull KR under Chesters tenure was that whilst they scored points they also conceded plenty too, second in fact only to us last year. And the main thing we desperately need to do is tighten the defence.

You really are a peice of work at times.

What exactly are you basing this alleged humour on?

Chester won't be the first or the last manager to fail in his first assignment though I wouldn't say he failed at HKR - ditto Webster.

You do realsie you're not born a Coach you have to become one and that usually involves a fair few set backs. Try giving people a break.

Oh and in case you're wondering it's Morrison for me.

Not normally one to doom and gloom but it's a tough gig for any coach. I just hope the new guy gets given time because let's be honest, Brian Smith is a modern day legend of Rugby League, the coaches coach and he couldn't get us firing.

Genuinely I think we have the talent to win games in this team, the other bottom 3 squads aren't too far ahead on paper, but like Wides are showing, paper means little when you click.

I completely agree with you but I think what widnes have in their squad that we don't is 2 very good half backs.

And the fullback's not too shabby either!

Thing is TrinityIHC, Widnes haven't done it on paper; they've done it on PLASTIC!!!!

In case you didn't hear it tonight, MC is hoping, if all goes well to announce a new coach tomorrow night or Wednesday morning if there are no complications to get in the way...

I reckon it's Chester then as he is out of work so free to be announced quickly

MC has been interviewing today and again tomorrow, so he hasn't made his mind up yet!

How's he gonna get it all done by weds morning if not before then?

I think MC needs advice as his rugby knowledge not the best.im not in anyway having ago at him but since he been in charge our playing performences have been the worst ive ever known

I don't think MC can cop any flack for that.

He inherited Agar and got rid. He gave Webster the job temporarily, and he did extremely well in his first half season. Offering him the job on the strength of his half-season was a no-brainer. Webster then is unable to replicate the following year and falls on his sword, and MC recruits one of the most experienced coaches in the game.

Whatever failings we've had on the field, MC's choices of coaches have little to do with them, when you look at each coach he's had under his tenure. Each choice was a good one at the time.

I thought Chester went well last year. Dont forget the brilliant victory against Warrington in the semi final last year at Headingly Wire were massive favourites. He is Wakey through and through so he would care about the club he would give that little bit extra (hopefully). My only issues with Chester would be does he have the discipline with the players will he be one of the lads? Even on his days off last year he came to watch Wakefield referred to Wakefield as we at one point when I spoke to him. Chester and Poaching not a bad partnership.

I can appreciate the 'one of the lads' comment but the difference being with Chester is, that he maybe Wakey through and through but he hasn't be part of the set up at Wakey.
You could say the same about Powell at Cas, he's Cas all the way but not been directly involved until a couple of seasons ago and that seems to have worked ok.
I know that Powell has served his apprenticeship to get to where he and Cas are but who's to say that Chester hasn't got the same passion and drive for the club, albeit with a shorter learning curve.
I misunderstood a poster about compensation, so Chester seems to be the obvious
choice, with possibly Willie coming too?

Carter said in his interview that the incoming coach would be working with the current backroom team so i doubt Poching would be coming as well, not this season anyway.

Your probably right Tricky, but he did say barring complications so maybe the successful coach might be already employed and everything could be sewn up by Wednesday, who knows!!

I certainly hope not!
