I'm sure he's a nice guy and all but i don't rate his appointment as DoR* and his win rate at the end of the season was less than Powell's.
*i'd have tried to recruit an individual with an international profile who had a winning professional career with good contacts in north and south hemisphere RL. Someone like Sinfield (for example).
I think putting Chambers in charge after Powell left was a mistake, not because I don't think he will make a good DoR - which I actually think he will, but because he was on a hiding to nothing. He had very, very little coaching experience when given the role so was on a hiding to nothing.
I think the attitude and effort went up a few notches once Chambers came in, win rates shouldn't be considered, it wasn't his squad and it wasn't a role he was experienced in.
I've spoken to him before and I have listened to a few interviews while he was Head of Youth / Interim Head Coach. I think he will try and build from within and will instil a pride & respect in to the club that has been missing.
I know Sinfield was only an example, but pretty sure he has turned his back on DoR roles as he wanted to be closer to the training field. Ironically there was a rumour doing the rounds that Sinfield was coming in as assistant coach, put to bed by Burgess.
