Well at least he has spoken, so kear was the second highest paid coach in the league and wasn’t value for money. We seriously need to get this next appointment right otherwise we will have 1000 at games. Then it’s no coming back

So we have money ? Why did we not get players earlier !
maxime as coach could be good, he could play in the halves and take residence back at Upton rocks

seriously though we cannot rush this, appreciate still half a season left but wrong guy sets us back

still think tempt Hendon’s  from York - not sure where he lives

@ditton-donkey he did last time and we give it to the grandad, he’s now landed on his feet at saints I think.

I read it this morning but still can’t get my head around this part;

“We have begun the search already, but because of the situation this week it has not been able to be at to the top of our priorities but we have already had a number of applicants.”

what’s more important than this

and

the man’s not cold yet and people are after his job😂😂

If the board had any nous, the die should have been cast after the shambles at Dewsbury

Hope we get the new coach correct and one who will play expensive rugby league to use Dixon and Ince with speed. Seemed like a good effort against Toulouse, but need 2 props and a 6 still.

I know Neil Kelly applied for the job and was turned down.

"I've heard a name that is 'extremely likely' to be the next coach, that name is none of these. "

 

If you've heard one name then I've heard two, and mine are more betterer and more secreter than yours 🙄

Whoever they bring in will not be universally welcomed by everyone, but the Coach needs to be in place ASAP to try and sort out the mess this season and build for 2024.

If Betts is brought back, this forum will spontaneously combust. Of the others mentioned, maybe Smith or O’Carroll would be my preference, but whoever comes in needs to be given a chance to turn things around.

Now knowing what we did about the previous ownership of the club and how Brown was sold with nothing available for Betts to spend I wouldn't be upset if he came back.

I know its unlikely but out of the list mentioned so far I would prefer him. 

Whoever is appointed won't please everybody. We could persuade Billy Slater to quit the origin coaching job after 2 series wins out of 2 and somebody will complain that he has never been in Leggies and a local should get the job.
