The club have called a press conference on Monday when they are expected to announce our new coach.

Given the short time frame involved I'd be shocked if it was anyone but Cunningham now. The interesting part will be whether the rumours about Sean Long returning as assistant are true. That would certainly get tongues wagging.

The Entertainers are back!

They should have a triumvirate of Cunningham, Long and Sculthorpe.

Shame that scully didn't stay involved in the on field part if the game like coaching u19s or an assistant coach.

Hasn't he been coaching an amateur side?

Saints use him when trying to sign a good kid up to wow them into signing.

I'm hearing Longy coming aboard as well who's currently with the Samoa side.

Ul have get him down at Rylands then to see my two ,

What age group?

what exactly does scully do at saints?

Is it though? Apparently Saints have known for a good while about him leaving so things may be further on than we know.

Very doubtful.

I was told back in July that Brown was to be replaced by Cunningham. A few fans on here and Red Vee could confirm that, as I asked if they had heard anything themselves.

Yep, I recall having that chat with you and I'd previously heard the same thing.

Thank you.

It was no secret that at the end of Browns contract Cunningham was earmarked for the job, but then of course Brown went early and this now is the talking point. If KC thinks he is ready he will get the job. If he doesn't then it's open to speculation as to who.

There have been no rumours of coaches flying in, or interviews. So you could read into that, that no one has been interviewed.

He coaches at Shevington Sharks. I think its under 16 level. A friend of mine son plays there.

Yep you did rogues , I was told the same thing and told to say newt .

I think it's come a little to early for KC if I'm being totally honest but the long term plan was for KC to take over so I guess McManus is going to risk it.

In a ideal world I think one more year under Brown would have been perfect but with the in-laws not in the best of health the time as come for KC to show us if he's got it.

You happy that's been validated now?

Well done Brian, the first out of 28408 is some going

Apparently it will be Cunningham head coach with Lolesi as assistant.

Is Longy definitely coming on board?

I think he is but he's in camp with Samoa at moment

True, but that wouldn't stop him from joining up with us when he gets back would it?
