We should have learned our lesson with Josh McGuire, or Sandow.

When you bring guys over from the NRL with a lengthy list of off-field baggage, don't be surprised when it goes wrong.

I agree.
Nothing against him personally but he is light on coaching experience.
And with Long or Gleeson.....

Burgess allegedly -
drug taker, gambler, misogynist

Long and Glesson - well they go back a long way. TS got rid of Glesson due to (iirc) his bad influence. Long has not exactly got a blemish free record (St. Helens market and all that).

This is a big gamble.

The only positive is that Chambers will become director of rugby - hopefully this will take workload off Burgess and put KP one step away from the rugby side of things.
I like Marshall but dont know enough of his influence on things.

I'd like them to have appointed a full time psychologist - so much at the club needs that treatment!

Having said all that - good luck Sam and Gary.


Gleesons last role was with the England RU team, you don't get roles like that by accident, he'd be a good choice. I'd like to see Sean Long though.

I'll get behind this appointment, it's bold if they have some good ideas and get the squad on board it could
just ne the fresh approach we have needed

As Director of Rugby I think that Chambers has the much harder job to be honest, the rugby side of the club seems to be generally pretty shambolic.

Welcome to the Wire Sam, here's hoping you give us an exciting team to watch.

Here's a question for the fans not giving Burgess a chance....what would you have said if we had appointed Adrian Lam 12 months ago? Just shows that you never know eh?


Lets not pretend Adrian Lam has them playing this good. They'd be as bullish and successful without him there. They had a massive point to prove and weren't gonna let it slip this time after being snubbed or robbed so many times in the Championship. Under Lam we'd have been just as bad because nobody can fix this mess but a minute few.

I'm more convinced than ever that Wires are part social experiment, part Truman-show style reality show and the world is watching us in secret and wondering how Moran & co will top the season 4 cliffhanger.


Maybe that's what is behind this appointment; introducing a new audience to RL by creating a new reality TV show, 'At the HJ with the KarKrashians'. Watch as big Sam gets to follow-on from his role on SAS Australia, by assuming the role of head coach at a UK RL club.

Re: New Coach : Mon Aug 07, 2023 7:41 pm  
To the nay-sayers - DP came here with loads of coaching experience and no NRL “baggage” that I’m aware of. And look where that got us - we’ve just lived through the most excruciating 2 seasons. On forums recently I’ve seen us described as a “dumpster fire” and a “sh!tshow” and they’re just the selected highlights.

I’m amazed anyone is willing to give us a go - let alone someone with Sam’s playing pedigree.

And I have to say whenever Sean Long has been a guest on Sky he’s talked a lot of sense - definitely a sound rugby brain. If we can get him on board as assistant I think there’s a lot to be excited about. It probably won’t be plain sailing but it must be a lot less embarrassing than the drivel we’ve had to put up with of late.

Let’s get behind Big Sam and I have a feeling that this time next year we’re the ones coming up with colourful descriptive terms for our near neighbours.

He certainly won’t be hiding in the coaches box at full time.

Powell came with one LLS in about 18 years of coaching lol. Proof is in the pudding, and he was obviously a pudding. Don't try and make out that Powell was ever a good appointment and that Sam also is because he has zero experience. What we need is a coach with experience WINNING. As a coach.
