He may not be the coaching giant that Smith was but for decks sake can we just give him a chance before condemning him, for the life of me I can’t see what he’s done not to deserve that courtesy.

Am sure JK must have had input and will be consulted as the season progresses.
Leedscat, try smiling, you may enjoy the feeling.

I am smiling.wakey have won 4 out of 30 or so games and we appoint the coach who was the coach of the team that lost 2 of those 4 games.yeah he got rovers to wembley but that was due to form of kelly they have more money to spend than wakey and still struggled.

Im not slagging mc off but really is a bad choice for me

Sorry mate but this sums up what's wrong with the mentality of Trinity fans and I know you're one of the better one!

I don’t know Chris Chester other than he speaks quite eloquently on interviews.

He has a one year SL coaching history which can only be viewed as mixed. He had a season average of 52% wins or 1 in 2, jeez what we’d give for that. He also got his team to Wembley on his first attempt so again not bad. That said he had a much team or certainly a better resourced one.

His only real error for me was not picking his CCup team on form instead relying on an injured player, that said Leeds were not going to be beaten by anyone on the day Sinfield and xxxx hung up their boots.

His dismissal from HKR seemed hugely premature by any standards. If the lad still has the enthusiasm and has learned lessons from last year he will be a better Coach second time around.

One things for certain, he knows the local scene which IMHO is crucial for a club like ours.

He also seems to suffer from a perceived slight against Trinity some years ago as a player. This seems to revolve around him rejecting a move to his home club whilst at Hull. Seriously can you blame him.

He may not be the coaching giant that Smith was but for decks sake can we just give him a chance before condemning him, for the life of me I can’t see what he’s done not to deserve that courtesy.
I know it’s nit the way of some on here who just seem to take pleasure in slagging off just about anyone who isn’t Wally Lewis. However doing so is utterly counter productive in my opinion as the choice has been made.

As for Carters decision, well at least he made one and he made it quickly and that IMHO is what was needed before the rot was allowed to set in any further.

...spot on that, Vasty....nail - head - hit

Welcome to the club Chris.....let's all get behind him as it's going to be a tough old season.

Will he have a few quid for players.....can we off load a few......will players want to come and play for him/us?

Happy with Kear too.....whilst in the Championship.....can he unearth a few gems or resurrect some fallen careers like he did with Wilkes, Bibey & Moore?

Re: Chester - Confirmed new WTW coach : Wed Mar 16, 2016 1:24 pm  

Welcome aboard Chris Chester, local lad with SL experience, lets get behind him, the team and see how they go
Always liked John Kear, think he will do well in the role. Feel more positive after hearing this news today. Well done MC IMO. My glass is always half full but why not

Re: Chester - Confirmed new WTW coach : Wed Mar 16, 2016 1:28 pm  

Not my cup of tea given his record with much more money at Rovers but still beggers can't be chosers and with Kear coming on board in a roll that will suit him perfectly it's probably as good as we could have hoped for under the circumstances.

Welcome aboard Chezzie lad, fingers crossed it works out.

Re: Chester - Confirmed new WTW coach : Wed Mar 16, 2016 1:29 pm  

Happy with the appointment.

Having known Chester from our school days, always had a lot of respect for him for what he achieved in the game. I'm sure as a fan, he only wants what is best for the club and will do what he can to achieve it.

Good luck !

P.S. Maybe he can persuade Campese to come across the M62 to join him !! ?

Re: Chester - Confirmed new WTW coach : Wed Mar 16, 2016 1:36 pm  

Would love Campese too, but can we afford his healthcare.

What about Blair or Kelly even. Both of these are better than the two halves we had already, or even start to clear out the deadwood forwards we have. Hull KR have a good young British forward in Green

Re: Chester - Confirmed new WTW coach : Wed Mar 16, 2016 1:53 pm  

Brian Smith will have been our most expensive coach ever, Chris Chester will have got his pay out from Hull Kr so there must be a saving as I can`t imagine that Chester will be able to command a high salary. Will the difference mean that we can employ a half back for a few months. As I see it we have four problems : Our defense, Our attack, no money and our players are not very good.
So the new coach may help as if the savings made mean we can employ a half decent 6 or 7 then that will help with the attack and defense, not asking for a lot just a player that can pass, catch and tackle - you know the skills that Finn and Miller don`t have. Kear should be able to pop down and give Chester an idea about how to get the players to defend, he should also be able to motivate them. Kear can also advise which players in the championship would bust a gut to be given a chance in SL. Lets face it most of our squad would not get in a top 4 / 5 championship team and there are loads of players in the lower leagues who would improve our squad , for a start every single 6 and 7 playing in every championship team is a better player than Miller.
