Has everybody gone mad

I know we get the odd few knuckle scrapers on here, but barrel scrapers? Cummins. No way.

I would say Paul Rowley is favourite he will be relatively cheep he's had some success he's English (don't think hull or rovers want to have there fingers burned again by appointing some untried Aussy) you can not hope to attract a top Aussy coach there on buckets of money and most important Rowley is available cheep no compo to pay to get him out iof a contract, that must suite rovers pocket

Macca will be on a good wage in Aus and working towards a top role in future can not see him chucking that away for a chance to coach ur squad , its got to be Rowley as I think they would of left Chester in charge longer, someone must be close to agreeing to step in soon

Thing is, as much as we see coaches as poor etc, players and owners see things differently. While all the fans at hull wanted rid of Radford, Pearson saw something in him and a few players I have spoken too, also spoke well of him. Maybe this is why Agar keeps getting jobs.

Peacock might see or know more about Cummins to think he would do a good job.

I actually think Harris would be OK, did;t do great at Salford, but it must be hard working under the Dr and he did well in previous roles.

Some people keep mentioning Rowley especially Hull fans it seems but I don't believe he will be the one that Rovers will be looking at.
I know that one or two directors were not particularly happy when Chester was first appointed and preferred looking further afield, unfortunately they were out voted at the time.
I don't think Rovers will make the same mistake by going for another coach based on the fact that he is the cheap option, in fact I would say they cant afford to make the same mistake again.
I would be surprised if the club had not already sounded out one or two options but I doubt that they will make any rush decisions, they may decide to Keep Poching on as caretaker coach until a permanent solution is found but personally I think he is part of the problem.

Bad news for the rest of the league. I reckon rovers have someone lined up and is it just co-incidence macnamara was here last week? Alternatively, it could be a leeds cast off

James Webster must be in with a shout. Would Rovers fans be happy with him?

Which coaches have Leeds cast off? I need to place a bet.

My personal preference would be Steve McNamara he fits the bill as far as the 5 year plan would be concerned (although I am not privy to the plan) i would think that in the plan is to have a head coach that shares the same vision as peacock and co, I just think a ausie coach would be here 2/3 years max if they did well they would be off back to NRL or if they where poor then they would be out the door, I think Steve Mac is now a experienced coach that will have top contact and has been involved in top professional organizations for last 5/6 years

How would that work for hull fc though? He is the coach of the joint academy that wouldn't go down well IMO

Thanks for the memories Chris, with particular reference to the 1st of August 2015. However, it all went downhill from therein. This has been a shocking couple of months and from extended Christmas breaks via community service instead of training camps, we were (are) totally unprepared for the standard of Rugby needed to compete. Forget the injuries, the squad on Sunday were unmotivated and devoid of any game plan.

Poching ( or is it Poaching?) should have his desk cleared by 10 o'clock on Friday to make way for the future. After my outstanding team for Warrington, my cv will be hitting Jamie's inbox tomorrow. Just keep Rowley away please, I will appoint my own back room.

Agree stan,rowley didnt do it at leigh even though they were the only team in the league with any real money.Difficult call without going abroard wouldn't want mcbanana or agar so I suppose webbo would be the best option.

Brian Smith....? Lol. I am sure he would jump at the chance of joining Hull Kr and leaving his current post of managing a team guaranteed to finish in the bottom four to join a team guaranteed to finish in the .....oh hang on....

daryl powell?

I would also like to thank Chester for the memories....two record derby defeats and another humiliation that escapes me....

Hope you win on friday and poching is given a 5 year contract

Why? I'm sure a replacement will be found. Paul Cooke to coach the academy?

Apparently Wayne Bennett wants to coach in super league in 2017 in the run up to the World Cup as England coach. Hull kr are trying to get Wayne Bennett signed up as coach for 2017, Willie Poaching will take charge for 2016 if this happens.

Well it had to happen, now we need some experience at the helm. My pick would be Geoff Toovey, he's out of work at the mo having been treated disgracefully by Manly, he must be itching to get back into the game. Failing that I would go for Kear as he has always had a good impact wherever he has gone.

Here's one from left field. Peacock brings in sinfield as player coach for season.

Dave K has had some fun today.
Those advocating for James Webster should have seen his car crash of a tenure at Wakefield. Not for me
Didn't rate McNamara but he's got experience of the NRL and if he gets us playing like Waste then I'm for it.
Best of luck to Chester a decent man appointed to a job he couldn't do.
They must have someone lined up. My guess McNamara.

I take no joy or fun from this, I was enjoying Chester's time in charge and am disappointed he has gone.

I think you need to be realistic, money will be tight after sacking and paying off Chester (Did he have nearly two years left on his contract?) and do you expect McNamara to leave his job in the NRL to come and coach Rovers, I certainly wouldn't.

Think you will only get a coach who is unemployed like Cummins, Toovey or Rowley etc.

We're already playing like waste

don't need mcnamara to do that.

Heard Rowley last week
Rumour has it McNamara never went back to oz and his son(s) have signed for skirlaugh ??

Would Mick Mantelli be worth a shot ???

Maurice Bamford.

Has a great 'tache and we don't have enough of those, just scraggy beards.

Look at the great sides of the eighties, great 'tache's all over the place.
