Long has been an assistant since retirement with:

Salford
Samoa (2013 and 2017 WC and 2014 4N)
St Helens
Harlequins (RU)
France (2021 WC)

So plenty of experience building under some very good coaches. Plus he’s backed up by Leon Pryce who has actually had experience coaching Workington. So it’s not as if Fev gave the reigns to someone who’s only ever been at one club and never coached at a senior level before.

Tbh I think whoever comes in next needs to get a fans signature saying “ we are not a super league club and the history of 20 odd years ago as no relevance on our current expectations otherwise we will alway be failures playing in the modern day equivalent of a dilapidated Roman coliseum “ what we do in life echoes in eternity but never let that achievement weigh down on what you do in the now otherwise you will be forever on your knees begging for days gone bye .

Re: Dunning Sacked : Mon May 08, 2023 4:51 pm  
As I said on another thread the club aren't thinking strategically, and I'd have replaced Mark before the break and given someone these 5 'easier' games to come in and build momentum. I also feel for Mark he's a good man who bleeds RAB, but he should never have been asked to get us out of this league, under the conditions he was asked to do so.

I don't think it matters who comes in if the vision, strategy or the tactics to achieve the vision are unclear, they will fail. So the clubs administrators need to take a long hard look at themselves, what is it they're trying to achieve, where do they want to go, do we have the right strategy and tactics to get there?

For example if the tactics to achieve a strategic goal are to use loan's and dual registration, then we may need a certain type of coach and particularly one that's been successful in that model before, perhaps someone like John Duffy, but if the strategy is to grow more organically, slow and steady building on the back of our academy Mark might have been the guy as those young players would have had some respect for him and what he did for them. We need to find someone that is the right who, for the strategy and tactics we're deploying.

When the club have figured that out, we might start going somewhere!

P.S. I'd still go fishing in the Queensland or NSW Cup for a hungry aussie like Luke Burt at Burleigh Bears, but not sure we're much of a pull anymore :(

I think ourselves and Fev are in quite different situations! They have been a consistent Championship side over many seasons and the benefit of an open chequebook when required. In my opinion we need somebody with a bit of credibility who the understands the league and what is required at this level.

Didnt we do that once and end up with a coach that didn't realise before a major game that the Fev pitch had a slope?!

For what it is worth, I'm not totally against the idea but I think it.brings further risk. Getting used to the league, settling in the country etc.. I'd still prefer a safe pair of hands who knows exactly what is required.

Re: Dunning Sacked : Mon May 08, 2023 10:56 pm  
Names I’d like the club to at least inquire about:

Danny Ward (wants to coach, interviewed for Cas)

Lee Radford (I know he’s just got an NRL gig but worth an ask).

Brian McDermott (again, long shot)

Paul Anderson (maybe he’d take it alongside his England duties)

Richard Marshall (knows the Championship well, youngish, would he leave Wire?)

James Ford (at the shambles that's Wakey would he come to us)

People who the club will interview:

Lee Greenwood
Leigh Beattie

Someone mentioned Justin Morgan to me. I’ve not heard that name in a while. What’s he doing these days?
