D-day for Titans coach

The team chief will meet directors Nick Cragg and Martin Jenkinson at a disciplinary hearing in the wake of months of infighting resulting from a dispute between Bester and as assistant coach.

He strongly denies the allegations against him while the club is also standing by its views.

Bester could be exonerated, issued with a warning or have his contract terminated.

The Titans went down 33-0 away to Championship leaders Newcastle on Friday night. They are at home to Doncaster on Saturday.
