Good luck

I'd like to see chessie do well but I do think it'll be a tough ask for him. He struggled with us and with a seemingly better financial set up and backing. It might do him well to be away from a set up he was comfortable in.

On the flip side I hope he struggles more than us this year

Thank you, I think both clubs need all the luck they can get.

Good luck to him. Especially in his first match.

With the benefit of somebody else's approach to 2016 pre-season training and slightly more modest expectations he could well do a job for Wakefield.

Like us with Webster, they have to hope he learned a fair bit from his first job.

Good luck to Chris Chester. I think Rovers let him go too quickly as he didn't have much of a chance with all the team injuries in key areas. Lets hope Hudgell doesn't regret it.

Whilst I think that James Webster has a soft spot for Rovers and is welcomed by alot of the fans, I do hope that we manage to secure a top name coach for next season, that is if we manage to stay in Super league.

Good luck to him may do ok without the pressure he had at Rovers also Kear joining him in 2017 wonder if that is to assist in the football side or just show him where all Championship club grounds are.
Just read a good point on Twitter if Wakefield where to play Batley in million pound play off where would Kears heart be
Possible conflict of interest ?

John Kear will be a great appointment, Rovers should have got him.

Re: Chris Chester : Wed Mar 16, 2016 5:55 pm  

Very interesting.

2015. 2016.
Wakefield. Webster. Hull K R.
Hull K R. Chester. Wakefield.

Who do you think has learnt most from their first appointments.

Also think both coaches are now where their heart lies.

As for JK I think that is a master stroke.

Really hope that both sides now start to progress as I don't think either side are the rubbing rags that some people think they are. Think that the firmer grounds will benefit both of us.

Always had a soft spot for Rovers so will watch these appointments with interest.

Strange one, hope it all works out. We sack a coach who finished 10th and got us to Wembley and appoint one who was sacked for keeping his previous club firmly bottom of SL
