The truth is that Justin Morgan had one season as a head coach before coming to Rovers. Craig Sandercock had never been a head coach before arriving in East Hull and Chester has been learning from these two novices. It's about time that Neil Hudgell and Mike Smith brought in an experienced coach.

Yep. Had a nightmare. Still, not as if one poor match makes you a bad player. In 2015 he scored 21 tries, made 26 clean breaks, and 120 tackle busts in 23 appearances. He might make an error every now and again but you can't dispute the fact he had a good season attack wise. His defence may be a bit suspect, but that seems to be a squad wise issue.

If he was available I doubt any of the clubs who finished above rovers would sign him

What's that got to do with whether or not he should be playing for Rovers? I'd have him in over Cockayne every day of the week. Offers far more on the wing. Cockayne should have been filling in at hooker instead of Donaldson, IMO.

imo thought the Italy wing you have played well, he seemed to make more inroads than anybody,sio is class as is Kelly,you really need campese back but am not sure he will be,but you have only played 2 friendlys and lets see where your at after round 6

You were telling us how great he is and I was pointing out that he isn't

The worst thing is definitely the platitudes from the wrong side of The Chocolate Rivers Tributary.

Two dullers bickering on the Rovers forum. You couldn't make it up. Not really surprising seeing as one of them is you, Rolfie.

1. would love to know the players thoughts on their coach.....
2. need game plan and set plays not just 'chucking the ball around'
3. need guidance (Campo)
4. need a coach with experience not someone who has not served an apprenticeship yet
5. need some goddam muscle up front - it aint rocket science

by answering my first question we could find some answers....
