Make that two. People are being lead by their hearts and not their heads. He's not blown anybody away with his coaching so far, you could argue quite the opposite.


Make it three. Jimmy may be a club legend, but we need someone to rebuild this club from the ground up. He had every resource available to him at Wire and he failed miserably.

Hope I'm completely wrong but can't see this working out well for either party.

Morrison had declared himself interested and would have been the best choice in my opinion... Highly regarded at Championship level, knows the club without having too many personal ties and seems to have a good attitude both off the field as well as on it.

Instead we appear to have chose the hothead who can't seem to help finding drama somewhere!!!

I can understand what people are saying regarding Lowes . But I do feel he would put some passion and pride back in the team. He won't accept some of the players attitude . And if we can keep him how good will O.B be in hooker under Lowes coaching . That's if it is Lowes

And also that's if O'Brien stays.

I might be wrong... But I'm sure it was Wire away that begun the golden years under McNamara. Pretty sure we lost that game.

Your correct there . Also recently Nathan Conroy was tweeting about having to make some big decision and was feeling poop. I jokingly said come back to the bulls . He favourite this idea. If he did I think he could do a pretty decent job in the championship for us.

Yes I'm also not overly excited at the prospect of James Lowes as head coach. However, I did see Glenn Morrison at the Leeds train station Mcdonalds at 1130am on Sunday morning with whom was probably his son.

This was on a Dewsbury match day so didn't strike me as ideal preparation for getting the team ready. Gardening leave? A deputy to and steadying influence on James Lowes?

Questions that will be answered at 0930 am tomorrow..

You mean Curtis Naughton, not Nathan Conroy. As much as I'd love him to come back, Curtis' head is too big for the Championship. Cracking player though.

Re: Poll - Bulls Coach : Mon Jun 23, 2014 9:46 pm  
You can add me to the list of people massively underwhelmed if we end up appointing Jimmy.
What would he offer to this club that Francis couldn't? FC has been nurtured as a first team coach for years, serving under some top class coaches and even spending some time over in aus learning from the best. And yet he still couldn't cut it.

So why appoint Lowes? He has even less rugby league coaching experience than FC, and he's spent the last year or so coaching in a completely different sport!

I'll be so disappointed in the club management if they turn down some of the other candidates and give Lowes the job. My gut instinct just tells me it's completely and utterly the wrong decision.

In short, I really hope Lowes doesn't get it :lol:

Re: Poll - Bulls Coach : Mon Jun 23, 2014 9:54 pm  
If it is Lowes i hope we give him time. There is some big rebuilding work to be done at the Bulls. We've had 6 years of decline, we're not going to over ride that in one year.

Those saying whats point in getting rid of Cummins and bringing in an inexperienced coach, i get the argument but for me Cummins looked like a defeated man. After all he has been through the last two years, i don't know what he could do to perk the team back up. Who ever comes in will be fresh and won't have been affected by the last two years.

Lowes will have gained lots of pertinent stuff coaching carnegie. Wingers that do jack sheet but can kick a good goal. An aimless go forward that ends in a tangled heap and a penalty to the opposition. That sort of thing.
