Ian Watson and Chris Chester : Sun May 28, 2017 4:23 pm
Two British coaches who appear to have significantly improved their clubs.Salford have been garbage for years, including since the Koukash circus has been in town. Since Watson has been coach Salford seem to be in the headlines less but are winning a lot of games without being taken that seriously. I guess most people are expecting them to drop off at some point and make way for Wigan in the top 4, but they are hanging in there. Their season feels a bit like ours in 1993/94.
A couple of years ago Wakefield felt like they were edging closer and closer to the trapdoor but since Chester has been there they have been much more solid. I wonder if Hull KR think it was a good move with hindsight to sack Chester after the first 3 games of last season.
I expect both these clubs would want hefty compensation for taking their coach while under contact, but would we be happy with one of these two coming over to Wire?
