Kelly ffs never laughed so much such head in the cloud fans. Henderson out of all the supposed options mentioned by a country mile. There will be no lack of candidates but as yet it’s speculation as who has applied. The most important and most frightening thing is just who is interviewing and selecting ? Do we have anyone capable of performing that task ?.

Maybe the same people who managed to persuade Sheens to come here. We have a Chief Executive and a Board of Directors with a broad business experience, who will be more than capable of interviewing and selecting a candidate. If they need any input from outside, I have no doubt that they will ask for it.

We all know Sheens had an ulterior motive and has been put on a pedestal for no reason whatsoever having only managed a handful of games. The board are new to RL and the CEO is on a pedestal for doing nothing so my fears are reasonable.

Shortlisting after the deadline and interviews in the next couple of weeks.

20 applicants so far, with domestic and overseas.

"Surprising and Outstanding" applicants according to Finney.

Out of interest, where do you think it went wrong for Kelly?

You are entitled to your opinion, but I have no concerns about the ability of the CEO and Board to make the right choice. Of course, whoever they select will not get universal approval from fans. That is the way of the world.

In my view, this is the CEO and Board that brought us through Administration and has put the club in a stronger financial position than a lot of clubs, to be able to come through the pandemic and still have a club to support. Give them a chance.

As for Sheens, I have no idea of  his "ulterior motive" in leaving, but that is irrelevant now. He has gone and we all move on. I thought that Sheens brought hope that we could move forward as a club when we needed it after Administration. He attracted players like Smith and Tomkins,  that in all honesty none of us saw coming - and no doubt the CEO played a role in this. In the few games we saw, he seemed to the getting the best out of players.

You never know, our new Head Coach may move the team forward and develop a stronger squad capable of playing attractive rugby and challenging for promotion.

I suppose we could always bring back someone with extensive rugby league experience to run the club. I heard that James Rule was available!

Serious mate, only other 2 names I’ve heard is Neil Kelly and Kilshaw, it’s been unusually quiet as there is normally a few rumours when a coach has left and looking for a replacement.

Not as many 'in the know' so not as likely to leak!

It stands to reason that there was a cause or a catalyst for him to leave, but it also seems as though that is not for the public domain.

Finney in the LE said that neither Purtill nor Sheens had worked for us or them. Think that's as much as anyone is going to get for now.

Either way, things are moving along...
