New Coach : Sun Jul 30, 2023 2:52 pm  

I’ll start…

Holbrook is an obvious choice.

Tony Smith… he could get a tune out of this squad for sure but it’s never good to go back… is it?

Rohan Smith… I like the job he’s done at Leeds. Has come under fire of late and may fancy a new challenge.

Lee Briers… bring the lad home?

Sean wane for me, no way he will accept the standards. My ideal would be wane as manager until the end of the season then moving to director of rugby. A new culture needs to be set at the club right the way through from first team to juniors. All depends who is available now though really. One thing is for certain, Powell has to go.

It should have been Wane when Price left.

I would like to see Michael Monaghan back. Done a decent stint as assistant in NRL and was a winner with a no nonsense attitude.

Re: New Coach : Sun Jul 30, 2023 3:06 pm  

Holbrook or Monaghan asap

Holbrook is an obvious choice. One of the few who may be available but unlikely to come back to UK. Choked in a few big games.

Tony Smith… he could get a tune out of this squad for sure but it’s never good to go back… is it? Couldn't win it for us when we gave him the best squad in Super League by far. Hasn't managed to turn either Hull club around despite the money available to him.

Rohan Smith… I like the job he’s done at Leeds. Has come under fire of late and may fancy a new challenge. Seems to be a complete failure despite the run of victories in last years play-offs. He has a half-back pairing that competed in a grand final in the NRL, along with the joint-best youth production line in RL. Pundits seem to have him as some sort of coaching genius but I'm not seeing it.

Lee Briers… bring the lad home? I'm no fan of promoting former players to coach, but in this case I may be wrong, as he seems to have thrived at Wigan and Brisbane. No mean feet. I'd be happy to give him a one-season chance since our options are limited.

Give it to marshall until the end of season. Not fussed on holbrook, saints were much better when he was replaced.

Re: New Coach : Sun Jul 30, 2023 3:10 pm  

Richard Marshall c/t coach and John Kear director of rugby for me in the short term.

Re: New Coach : Sun Jul 30, 2023 3:11 pm  

RE: Wane. Let's remember he said he doesn't envy whoever takes the reins at Warrington. I think he knows what's involved and isn't remotely interested in it. He's got a cushy gig at Wigan and nothing to prove to anybody.

As has been said. Wane for me...wont accept crap performances and would change the culture thats required. But absolutley no chance he would take us on...no way!!
