Certainly worth considering,he was at the club for only a short while but It coincided with a good period of rugby being played ,problem is he left to go back home as I seem to remember his wife had landed a good job back home . As a player he was up there with the best but hasn’t been tested on his coaching prowess ,and don’t know if he is still involved in the game


Pretty sure I've seen him in one of the coach's boxes during NRL coverage, as an assistant. Can't remember which club though.

I guess a lot will rely on the new coaches ideas but I would take a serious look at bringing Applegarth in as one of the assistants if we could, not only have the academy been playing some fantastic rugby, he could be pivotal in managing some of those players introduction to first grade.


I agree he would be a good choice however over recent years the one thing that we have excelled at is the academy/youth team. Results have been great and the standard of players coming through is high. If you take him from that role there’s a risk it won’t be sustained. Applegarths time will come. I’d certai

Whoever gets the top job I really hope they crack the whip and get this lot ship shape and battle hardened so we can see the benefits next season . For far too long now we have been an easy touch both on and off the field with Chester’s downfall being aided and abetted by the very people he got too pally with and who now should hang their heads . If only half the rumours are true about the on/off field antic of some of the players are to be believed then I think we certainly need a coach who can install discipline and take no bull .It’s ok people saying Chris was a nice guy but in the end that mr nice guy was sold down the river .

It's such a delicate balance though.

We are not an attractive club for players. They won't win anything. They'll play and train in poor facilities. May well be relegation stresses, making it hard for the players to plan in the long-term for their finances. If we make it a tough gig too, players will want to leave. Crack the whip at Wigan, fine, because the players know it might take them to a Grand Final. Crack the whip at Wakey and it might just take you three places higher up the table.

It's that balance between off-field happiness and on-field performance. Very tricky. Danny Ward managed it at London, but then again it became it bit of an adventure for them so easier to pull it off for one year.

Can’t say I’ve heard any such rumours, c’mon spill the beans, no need to name names, tell us all these rumours.

I Don’t for one minute slugger think that coaching an average bunch of players to perform to a high standard On a regular basis is a walk-in the park ,but I do feel some players who I shall not name have become very comfortable at the club and need a wake up call ,how you can expect the rest to bust a gut when these players Get away with murder on and off the field . Been told more than once that Westerman gives fifita some stick for his let’s say lacklustre training efforts . Yes it’s a fine balance and one that hopefully the right chap will be up for the challenge,but I do feel there is a lot more improvement on the field than we are seeing at present . Have said many times I can take losses every week if I feel the players have put a shift in ,unfortunately that wasn’t the case last week and it isn’t an isolated incident .
