Go on vote, you are on here more than most Leythers !

I see Wayne Bennett/other has started to get some momentum! Come on Derek, step in before the RFL do!!!!!

A very difficult decision. We'd want someone as similar to Rowley as possible so if Jukes feels confident, A few times Paul stepped back for a week to give Jukes a go as head coach (I remember last year a few people thinking I was daft when I suggested after we'd got the top spot Paul should let Jukes have a go for those last 3/4 games in the space of 2 weeks to give him some experience). Ideally though if Jukes is in charge it'd be good to bring someone in as assistant to act as a mentor for him. Basil could be good as a mentor, he produced Rowley & Turzis the two best coaches I've ever seen at Leigh (since 1997); wouldn't want Basil as head coach, man management will be key this year and Basil isn't good at that, players either buy into what he's trying to do like at Leigh & Saints or don't like at w!g@n & Cas where it all went wrong, with some players we have it could all go badly wrong if they don't like the coach.

Don't really know enough about some of the SL reserve and academy coaches to have a proper opinion.

Now Rowley has gone Fax fans are right in thinking Marshall is the best coach in the Championship, would be good but with Fax getting a lot of money & not spending much of it I doubt they'll even let us speak to him. Always rated Morrison at Dewsbury, they've improved every year he's been in charge, been steadily building there just as Paul was here. Rowley always seemed to rate Paul Crarey up at Barrow, could be one to consider. Like John Kear at Batley but despite having a lot of success years ago now I think with his style he prefers to be the underdog, at Batley & Wakefield before that he always had teams in a relegation battle but you'd never go down with him in charge.

Don't want Brien Noble, he's been out of the game for far too long, said that when he went to Salford, finished coaching at Crusaders in 2010 had 1 year at Salford where he was out of his depth in 2014 then done nothing since. McNamara is too by the numbers, the players wanted to play Paul's free attacking style, McNamara at England was 70 min of 5 drives and a kick with 10 min in there somewhere doing just enough to win. Plus Hock & Rangi have said they'd never play for him again. Harris again all the ex-Salford players can't stand, plus he's not much good, did nothing at Salford, took Wales from being one of the best in Europe to their disastrous World Cup run. Webster's entire coaching career consists of being awful at Wakefield. I've also seen Karl Harrison mentioned



Difficult decisions for the board, wouldn't like to be them.

Sorry Rog, his old boss at Wakey will get the job

Purtill

Noble for me.

Calm experienced coach who could take us to another level.

I cannot understand some if the posts ao far.

The existing coaching team to remain.

Been out of the game too long for me. Other than a unsuccessful year at Salford it's been 6 years since he did any coaching.

He knows how to win play off games!

I think whoever gets the Job will not find it easy, will Derek find the right man?I hope so,in Paul we had a guy who was his own man, who wasn't afraid to say what he thought, he seemed to be able to keep the so-called problem guys happy, can Derek find another ,ike this? I DO hope so.

Is that you Tel or Jasper?

Roger, he's got 3 votes now.....look at what you've started now !!!

Haha up to 4 now

Can the other voters please make yourself known, maybe one of them was a certain Mr Beaumont

We need someone who knows how to win when it matters, no non sense - noble, Harrison or Abram for mine

I honestly believe that we should start the season with the coaches we have in charge at the moment, however my real favorite to take PR job eventually is Keiron Purtill,. For me ,he is the right man for the job,and don't be surprised if he doesn't get it. you heard it here, from Cokey. Cokey knows.

Would Purtill actually want the job?

Paul had his favourites Charlie, and if you didn't sit in his camp you were off. On a personal level, with the chaos removed due to timing, this may be the best thing to happen to us this season. We have to be brutally honest and one thing mattered last year and we blew it - should we really have finished 4th best championship club with two part time teams above us?

The hope was the experience would make Paul better going into this year but it was not guaranteed, now we may have a 'been there done it and understand what needs to be done' type in the hot seat come August.

The only thing that really matters is our club, the one there before us and the one we must ensure is still there for the generations to follow us.

Leigh didn't blow it in the middle 8's last year. They ultimately had a great year but clearly weren't ready for Super League by only just scraping past Salford and Wakefield in the cup, and this was self evident at games away such as Dewsbury. They massively overachieved with the squad they had, but gave great entertainment. The middle 8's was never on. Are fans with many years of rugby experience so delusional?

Total RL/League Express keeping up their high standards.

'Dukes' confirmed as new Centurions head coach apparently.

God forbid they spell his name right. That paper has really been appalling through the off season. Normally buy it every week but if it doesn't improve the quality of 'journalism' soon I don't think I will bother.

Well well there's a surprise,at least we at Fax have a Coach who picks the Team,you could gave picked Jasper he would have been cheaper.







or even Hokey.

It does get annoying at times.

So what your saying is RM isn't assisted by his backroom staff when the squad is picked? Or does Jasper draw numbers out of a hat.

@Centurino- your nic carries a rhino feel about it

Atomic mi owd mucker, I bet you Leighers are worried sick in case King Degsy throws another icky fit,I heard he give Rowley and the players the rounds of the kitchen which is why Rowley packed in, I don't blame I'm, King Degsy is a legend in his own mind.

It's amazed me how many of our Yorkshire friends know the reason why Rowley quit. That said, they seem to have a few different reasons.

If I didn't know better I'd think they were making it up and talking out of their arris's!

They would love certain reasons to be true, but I have not seen any accepting it may be nothing to do with DB. Even the Yorkshire rags are suggesting we won'the make the top 4 of the Championship
