I don't know about JD to be honest - He appears to have done really well where he is and has been over the last couple of years.
He is a big fans favourite because of the passion and commitment he showed here as a player.
Would he risk that by coming back to hold the poisoned chalice, given the way our "fans" have treated/behaved towards recent coaches?
I think we all know that this squad, even though it is one of the best and is the most expensive we have had, is not of the same quality as the majority of other teams in SL. It's a big risk for him to relocate his family halfway round the world again, lose a few games and his reputation amongst our fickle fans goes from near legend to another failure.
I'd like him to come and give it a try but I just don't see what's in it for him!!


I agree. That's why I added the caveat about whether he has applied. I'd be surprised if he did, because he hasn't made enough inroads yet as an assistant, and giving up a good role at a big NRL club to potentially fail in Super League is a real risk. Also, thinking back, his children will be a bad age to uproot. Might work when they're babies but not when they're settled in schools and with friends.

I think whoever does it has to have an understanding of the type of club Wakey is, which is why JD is a good Australian example, because it sounds like Brian Smith did not understand it as well as he should have.

Dickens might surprise us, you never know, but assistants stepping-up only works for a short time. Think Tony Smith in 2005 but then 2006. Think James Webster in 2014 and then 2015. Think Chris Chester even.

Well of all those names that are floating about I would go for Rowley ok not been at a SL club and had plenty of money at Leigh but he got them playing some good rugby but also if needed got them so they could win ugly.

I have no idea what B S was told after the M P G but for a frosty relationship to develop from December probably means little or no communication . How can a club operate under those circumstances. Thermals required for our next coach both in the changing rooms and the club in general.

It is "Fifita" not "Fafita"

If you don't know the difference between "there", "their" and "they're" I might get annoyed.

Re: New coach : Thu Mar 10, 2016 12:57 pm  
I would seriously consider JK, JD, Rowley and Morrison as I think they would be a good fit for the predicament we are in.

I know very little of Toovey and would be surprised if he is someone we could entice. If he did come, as long as he brought some Australian professionalism and his experience at Manly rubs off we could do well.

I'm not interested in Chester - too inexperienced and unproven for me. I'd also not be keen on Harrison, Goulding, Poching (although I'd welcome him as assistant) and a few other names banded about.

15 initial inquiries and probably more now means there are a lot of CVs to rifle through before conducting interviews. This could take 2-3 weeks at least.

Morrison was a good second rower for us ! But what has he done as a coach? he can send his cv on a beer mat.

That would probably get him the job wouldn't it?

He has done a decent job in making Dewsbury competitive on a very limited budget and the lads at Dewsbury speak very well of him as indeed do most people who worked with him when he did some coaching with us last time around.

If you are wanting someone with an extensive CV the list is going to be a short one.

He also presents a good image for the media.
In a lot of ways, I'd rather have a head coach with lots of experience at lower level than someone with extensive experience of top level.

Any reason why?
