Let's vote.

Keep em coming!

I think everyone on that list is likely to still be available in 4 or 5 months time.

So why not give Jukesy the chance to show what he can do. He has been with the club while this squad has been assembled. He knows where each player is at in terms of fitness, skill and application. He would keep the continuity going at a club that is on the rise.

If it isn't working out come May we can revisit with plenty of time left ahead of the 8's.

I voted Neil Jukes...let's see how he & Paul Anderson do, along with Simon Finnigan. Same coaching staff, but without the 'main man'. ! Wouldn't like to see an 'outsider' come in, and want to bring in his own assistants.

Me too.

Although your statement is correct.I just feel a standard has been created at Leigh that involves publicity.

I voted "other" as none on the list will carry a media attraction.

Ian Millward is an out & out mercenary & has zero loyalty to any Club least of all Leigh.

James Webster, to put it simply - you would have to be mental.

Bobby Goulding, just No, No, No.

I would go for either Jukes in the short term ...
Purtill or Marshall.

I haven't voted yet but I am inclined towards Jukes for stability.

Are there any rated Aussie or Kiwi coaches out there & available ? & would they come ?

I think the Club need to either appoint Neil or get it out there that they are looking for a top level coach worldwide.

I voted Purtill. Lives in Leigh and a regular at our home games. Played for the club. Respected by his peers. Understands what the fans want to see. Has been coaching top level SL players for ten years. Ready for the step up to being head coach.

Purtill would be my 2nd choice for sure. Top bloke with strong ties to the club and the town.

Mucky Higham and jukesy

Stick to the rules,you only have one choice!

I would say jukesy or purtill from that list or ivan cleary from nrl.he,s not full of himself like some over here,and it was a big shock when he got the push from the sharks.

You never change or fail to send me to sleep Atomic





,as for the original poster Caw, what a Moby

.you Leighers will get who Degsy wants it's as simple as that,I have an

what about Atomic?

Neil Jukes is a #2, not a #1, it won't work indefinitely with him in charge, 2 very different personalities.

Totally agree we need someone with good coaching qualifications good man management skills K Purtill would be the ideal target been at the top level in SL for a number of years well respected and local lad his current team play a exciting brand of RL similar to the Centurions

Who voted for James Webster ??!! Bet it was that Jagger fella....

Depends what type of coach we want.

A coach who makes his own decisions and not have any interference from the owner - or a coach who will be a puppet for the owner.

Koukash has learnt over the last few months, if you employ a coach, let him do his job, he is the expert. Having copious amounts of money (and not being afraid to let people know that) doesn;t mean you know how a rugby team plays/works. Even a coach who takes example from the owner - one of these has just copped a touchline ban for his mouth to officials

Perhaps this was why Rowely has resigned....too much interference from the owner???

All hail the owner?????? Get a bloomin life!

I'd go for Purtill - but for his sake, just hope he isn't puppeted as it could mess his whole career - which at the moment he looks to be well respected in Rugby League.

Oh and if Rowely's reason was for the interference from above......good on him, he has just gone up in my estimation.

A lot of people seem to be giving DB a kicking over Rowleys resignation. It has nothing to do with his relationship with the owner, it is an external influence that has caused this and there is no coming back from it. Let's move on from this and get behind the owner, team and new coach. There is no need to dig up any dirt.

If PR has resigned due to being puppeted by DB, then factual clarification is required.If not, then it's nothing other than an assumption. FWIW - I would leave the coaching staff as it is for now.

Doesn't Marwan Koukash essentially control the Salford coach by proxy via Tim Sheens?

Get Ellery Hanley and he will bring the success Leigh want so much

What C&W said

Actually I have to take credit for that one, surprised he hasn't got more votes. He could be good for you

I don't think so. I think MK got too involved because things weren't' going to plan and he's since realised he was making things worse. I think he has confidence in Sheen's and he's stepped back. As has been said many times, an owner should be seen but not heard when it comes to team matters. An owner has a place and it's not on a training ground or in a dressing room. Other than after a game to congratulate the team after a good win.

Mr Zilla ,you are totally wrong about me voting for Webster,I haven't even voted I'm not bothered who is the next Leigh Coach, I think CaW needs to find a hobby or a girlfriend,nobody outside Leigh is interested.
