Good luck to chris,done ok so far with sandys squad,signings look ok so far,and shown a bit of character in not being afraid to leave players out. thought maybe 2 years would have been more appropriate but only time will tell.

Can you not work it out for yourself if you are that interested?

5 points from 6 games. Okay-ish, although with no disrespect to them, 2 of those points were of course against London, whose record speaks for itself. Positive results against Saints and Wigan, plop vs Salford and Widnes.

Think he's the sensible choice. One more year than I expected, but hopefully that'll give him some time to make good medium term decisions.

Correct me if I'm wrong , but did Justin Morgan not lose five of his first ten games ?

Re: Chris Chester Given Three Year Deal : Mon Aug 25, 2014 1:22 pm  

One year too long for me also. Was allways going to be his job. I don't think his results alone have cemented the role, but his abilities to deal with trouble/lack of form within the camp. Be interesting to see the response from the players for the last three games.

If he is or is not the right man for the job I am not sure but who else is there? the only Aussies available are available as no one will give them a job & if they are not good enough there they are not good enough here. I wish Chris well & hope he is given time to come good. He has been coached by some good coaches & seen enough of a winning culture at Wigan to at least know what is expected & how to do it. If he proves a good choice get him tied up long term to bring much needed stability to our club.

This lot had the contenders as Chester, Poching (strong rumour he'll be joining the back room staff on hullkrfans), Gene, Cummins and Glenn Morrison: http://www.totalrl.com/five-contenders- ... l-kr-boss/ For Hull KR I think Chester is (prospectively) the best fit, and he's served his apprenticeship. People calling for a proven coach - the difficulty is they're mostly in jobs. And tbf, any coach is limited to some degree by the available resources. Tony Smith when Hudds were struggling and Brian McDermott at London, show that even the best struggle without the right resourcing. Or, I suppose, alternatively that anybody competent can succeed at the richest clubs.

Can you let us know what applications from Antipodean coaches that applied. Did NH follow due process and what other coaches were interviewed for such an important role which could leave a lasting legacy for years to come.

May have been given a 3 year deal but he won't last that long. I fear that this time next year we will be in the same position as our neighbours COULD have been in if Bradford had not been deducted 6 points. All my enthusiasm for next season with the promising signings has just taken a beating
