Chester In/Out
In all truth I don't have a lot of faith we would appoint anyone far better tbh. The endeavours of the JM replacement yielded Craig Sandercock. Who in truth was tasked with an impossible job/remit - all against the backdrop of a lot of uncertainty with investment (be it continued or new), but ultimately failed. The subsequent appointment/rise from within of Chris Chester seemed more about ease to me and not wishing to repeat the CS endeavour. Pretty sure very little changed on the pitch to suggest Chester was the clear candidate in the initial interim period. To date he's overseen some pretty awful performances ... vs Hull 0-28 (2014), 20-46 (2015) / vs Wigan 0-60 / vs Wakefield 24-44 / vs Leeds 0-50. The particular high(s) of reaching Wembley are not be forgotten, along with the some proper grit performances @ home vs Wigan/Saints/Hudds last year.
For me it comes down to what our current 5 year plan really is …
If it’s to continue meandering along content with 8-12th – then we may as well keep him.
When he moves on, we’ll have another ‘rebirth’- ‘new beginning’ ‘new philosophy’ moment - but I doubt little actual change and we’ll continue whereabouts we are currently.
If the club’s intention is really to push into the 5-8th bracket and/or even higher, then I don’t believe Chris Chester is the right guy to achieve this. If the club really think he is, then I have little faith in their 5 year plan tbh. Our defence has been pants for sometime. It spans many seasons, a few coaches and many players. Chris Chester has been the common denominator throughout.
If the rumours are correct and Chester has gone then hopefully Poching goes too. A complete fresh start is vital for whomever it is that takes over. SL survival and damage limitation has to be the priority for whoever it may be.

Those proposing Rowley are way off the mark IMO, we need an experienced coach. We have never had an experienced coach since we got in to SL. We need someone who can come in and sort this mess out by stamping his authority on this squad.
The only mentions of Rowley are coming from supporters of the champions-elect.Maybe I was right along
