I could do that but it's just as easy to type it once followed by a Ctrl-C then several Ctrl-P's.
Given the huge gap between between the Top teams in SL (who got hammered in the WCS) and the likes of your team, I ought to perhaps come up with a more fitting and realistic descriptive because you're way below WBSLR. Your team would struggle to compete in the QLD (Intrust Super) Cup.

If only! The cap would have to be reduced by half to (£900k) for that to happen. Or just boot out the bottom 4 and make their middle 8 existence permanent
The SC is set at its current level for a reason. The Top SL clubs can afford it and sod the rest.

| Quote TheButcher="TheButcher"There's no doubt that a change of coach at any time can really enthuse and revitalize a Club and team. However, doing so when the season has started, no matter that it is at such an early stage, will mean that the rest of the season will be all about getting through it. A new coach will want to change things and do things their way and without a pre-season and a recruitment drive tailored to that coaches wishes, they'll be doing nothing but attempting to fix a large band aid into place until the season is over. that's why sacking a coach during the season doesn't really work in advancing a Clubs ambitions. They may survive and start playing better, but I think that's all that you can expect this season.
A shame for the HKR fans.
I'm sure it was the right decision made at the wrong time.'"
Thats the problem, we seemingly never had a preseason or recruitment drive to talk of.

| Whoever gets the gig at K.R, it won't be Paul Rowley .....
D.B reckons PR has the Head Coach job at Canada & also that PR has illegally approached Senior Leigh players & coaching staff about joining him.
As far as DB is concerned & has eluded to, PR left Centurions to take up this job rather than due to Pauls claimed morals & integrity claims, of course we dont have Rowley's full version yet.
Could it be Baz & Terry taking over * dumb & dumber *

| What can macnamara do with the players at KR. He managed to help a top club with very good players to bottom. He's made awful decisions regarding England selection, and he can't inspire a cock to crow!
Macnamara would be a disaster.

There would be some comedy value in appointing Macnamara and at least he speaks the language
Seriously though, I couldn't se him wanting the gig.
Rowley or Webster ??
Also, they could do a lot worse than Kear.

Steven Macnamara has been an apprentice to Trent Robinson for a couple of years now. As we all know TR is one of the best coaches in the NRL, which means one of the best in the world. Surely some of TR's wisdom would have been absorbed by Steven Macnamara, thereby giving the Hull KR team the chance to reach new heights.

| Unfortunately for for Hull KR they have a veneer of real talent, but no back up depth. If Hull KR could get all of their talent on the field at the one time, then they could do very well. Terence Campese and Albert Kelly constitute one of the most formidable halves combinations in Super League. Kevin Larroyer is a very good player. A good coach would have an injury free side in the top 8 quite easily.

I wouldn't say McNamara had much of an impact at the Roosters other than putting out the training cones.

| I've got to say I never quite saw what Hudgell/Hull KR saw in Chester when they appointed him. And if HKR weren't willing to play the long game and give him several seasons it seems a bit of a waste of time to be honest.
It also makes you wonder whether Peacock may have had any influence in the decision to sack Chester. Whatever reason the timing does seem odd.

That did seem to be the motive at the time. Though it seems another wasted opportunity, if the board didn't think he was the man now, to let him have pre-season with the players rather than whoever the new coach will be.

| Hull KR cannot win against top 8 contenders without their star signings -- Campese, Kelly, Sio, Boudebza, and Lunt --- all in the active playing squad. You could have Wayne Bennett as coach and it still would not matter if the above mentioned players are not playing. Kelly and Campese are the most crucial ones.
Neil Hudgell needs to understand that whoever inherits Christopher Chester's position will face the same problems and get the same results as Mr Chester if the first choice players are unavailable. There just isn't the strength in depth at the club.
