Lets give the guy a chance, at kick off yesterday most on here would have gone with the team that was put out, the previous two games they played well & looked the part even the first half was showing signs of a win? As to what happened afterwards I am at a loss to explain. Salford though must be complimented on their part they gelled around Chase & supported him & scored try's. We only had two leaders out there Burns at 6 & Hodgson at 9 (the forwards were I thought holding their own). We will now see how good a coach he is or is not by the way he deals with the mess we were in yesterday. I would put Dave Hodgson at full back Gardner on the wing with Caro. Hall to the halfs with Burns or Behrrell/Burns & send Keating on a long holliday Iraq or Afganistan are nice this time of year. Just lets not panic & give it a bit of thought as we are in no rush as our season is about over.

What's the point in putting hodgson at full back? His kick returns are average, past his best and won't be offered a contract at the end of this year. We need to think of the future and that's guzdek! Ideally I'd have guzdek, Gardner, salter, welham, caro, and hall/Robinson/beharrall partnering with burns in the halves. Anyone have any idea why larroyer seems to be playing on the left since his return from Injury?

Re: Chester : Mon Jul 21, 2014 11:32 am  

If Chester does the following it'll show his intentions more clearly:

Drop Keating
Drop Hall
Maybe Drop Burns (if not banned) for London to get his head cooled down
I would prefer Caro to play against London and see how he goes and get some confidence back in his game, but wouldn't be surprised to see Ade Gardner OAP out on the field.
If Eden is cleared of the disciplinary, give him a run out. In terms of pitch quality, still needs the confidence boost that playing against London might give him.

I would have Dave Hodgson at full back (untill Cockayne is fit) as at least he can catch a ball & unlike Hall & Caro he is decisive & wont leave it to another. I dont know how the youngsters are going enough to coment on them. Eden should play but if he is messing about off field the lets get rid now.

Have you ever seen hodgsons one and one tackling? I'm not saying I have in precisely but I've seen it enough to know I don't trust him at full back!

Learn from FCs error in appointing Radford, Chester is not the solution

Re: Chester : Tue Jul 22, 2014 10:48 am  

Personally I would give Chester the opportunity on a minimum 2 yr deal. The man has served his time and deserves a chance and a chance to have some impact on the quality and quantity of players we need to attract and tie down to the club. I imagine there will be quite a number of personnel changes next year, both on and off the pitch and whoever we have next needs to be given as much time as possible to stamp their own mark on the job. Its a fantastic opportunity for someone. I for one hope its Chris Chester.

Re: Chester : Tue Jul 22, 2014 5:28 pm  

Thing is 3 games into his tenure the team throw the towel in against a team we are battling with for 8th. Doesn't bode well with me for his authority and presence.

Re: Chester : Tue Jul 22, 2014 8:31 pm  

chester was a smart player and I think he'll make a good coach. Far more chance of him doing it than radford

Re: Chester : Tue Jul 22, 2014 8:56 pm  

I take your point and am not naive enough to think that any coach is every players cup of tea.I just think that given the amount of time hes spent as assistant the guy deserves a bit of respect and a chance to prove himself. If the players throwing the towel in don't want to play for him or any HKR coach then they don't deserve to be called professional sportsmen and all the prestige that goes with it. The same players stuck 40 on Saints in his first game.Gentles defeat at Huddersfield and the apparent player power to oust him has done little for the west side and if the same culture happens here then three season passes are going straight in the bin.
