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.
