Not sure what everybody else thinks but these are 2 that I think we could attract (just about). Hanley took over at Doncaster and did a great job there getting them to the NR Final against us. Not done much since however but I'm sure would provide us with a much more attacking game and help us attract some top players going in to the new stadium. (I have already given up on the play-offs for this season) and Powell, as far as I can see has done a superb job at Featherstone. 2 good, young English coaches also. Anyone got any other ideas? I would also throw Alan Hunte in to the mix, the academy are doing really well, playing good expansive, imaginative rugby and he has played at the highest level. The other name that has been mentioned that I think would be a tremendous shout is Andrew Dunneman, however, I don't feel we have a realistic chance of that to be honest.

We should really have a 'potential new coaches' thread, save a new one popping up every hour or so.

Good idea FATBOY, do it.

Only mods can merge threads and make them sticky, which is probably what needs doing.

You're trying to get Ian Millward.

link/source??

or have you just started a rumour?

says who?

Hope not

even Millward would be better than McRae and Simms

Possibly,but think we need a complete change & would we with Millward?

Another dinosaur who has personal links to Salford.
Besides that what has he done at Leigh ,and remember his disastorous stint at Wigan ?
A complete new coaching team is required preferably young with new ideas.

I just can't wait to hear the magical words that "a press conference has been called".....asap

He signed a three year contract last year with leigh, after Canberra released him from his contract.

he is in year two of a three year deal

Hope your board have the same sentiments about Millward...we're quite happy with where he is already, thank you very much!

I won't say stuff for the sake of it, there's definitely an interest there and Millward is aware of it. I can't really add to what I originally said apart from to say that it came from a source at Leigh and not from Salford.

Your next coach WILL be Alan Hunte. Guarantee it.

can you guarantee it before Friday please !

well I saw him rushing off from the players' entrance door last Friday night so perhaps Wilky had just given him the nod

Imagine that for the media :-


HUNTE, LUNT & CUNNINGHAM


Lunt on Loan of course

Now I know mod's are passionate about what they do but they really do need to control themselves!

Great Idea,
It could be titled ' HE IS GOING ! '
