After a period of relative stability, I reckon we could be in for a shake up with three of the usual top 4 - Saints, Leeds and Wire - all switching coaches before next season.

McDermott - This month
They had their excuses for why they didn't perform last year, and he obviously had a lot of goodwill in the bank, but that can't last forever. Narrow victories against Leigh and Salford are papering over the cracks. The Cas result demonstrates how far off the pace they are now.

Cunningham - Easter
Progressed to an SL head coaching job too quickly IMO. Saints are in the wilderness big time as we were 10 years ago. They need an outside influence to shake things up like we had with Maguire.


Smith - End of the season
He has just given us a good run for our money in the Grand Final and beaten Brisbane. I know they have had a bad start in terms of results but I don't think they are actually that far off. The reason I have said end of the season is I don't think they will win the GF, and surely they can't be happy with Smith continually falling at the final hurdle.

Nothing against Tony Smith but it's always fantastic to see Dire suffer because of the gobs on most of their 'fans'.

Great to see them bottom. Hope Smith keeps them there all season.

Unfortunately posting tripe isn't a banning offense. If it was, there'd be very few posters left!

True, our Leeds board would be empty.

As would most!

Tony Smith

If the Wolves lose at Leigh next Thursday he's gone.

its quite offal at times

Terrible!!!

I know but I couldn't resist

If you look through coaches being sacked mid-season, it is frequently a defeat by Wakey that is regarded as the final straw. That would suggest that McDermot will go first as we play them next Friday, whereas Tony Smith won't go until the next working day after 22nd April.

Wakey =

Rick stone at Huddersfield looking a good. Candidate, but Cunningham surely running out off time.
McDermott may have just not only resurrected himself but the whole season for Leeds, perfect response.

If Catalans lose badly to St Helens in Perpignan then the knives will be out for Laurent Fraysinnous.

If St Helens lose badly in Perpignan then it will be knives out for Keiron Cunningham.

Rick Stone ....

If Giants don't bounce back with some very good wins soon, he looks apathetic in interviews, does he care ? Or is he so laid back he's horizontal ?

Either way, without Brough, Giants are nothing.

The knives were out for Cunningham last season, and haven't been put away this season either.
