Agree at our best we should have scored 70/80, but it shows far we have come that we moan about a 50 point win! Barthau for middle 8's is key, he makes the team tick. Think the French guy is a good addition

Have to agree with that sentiment, complaining about the winning margin and style is much better than having to complain about losing.

I suspect you are losing sight of the fact we are a full time team playing in a part time league. We haven't come anywhere other than downwards since our SL days.

I bet you're fun at parties

But maybe not for long

The other pearler I hear is Hendo is the best coach we've ever had??

He is for a long time, certainly an improvement on the towel

Agreed, he's doing a decent job considering he's been learning as he's gone along. He seems to set high standards for himself and the team.
For the most part he's got things right, particularly in setting us on that run of wins when up til then we'd just looked like a collection of individuals rather than a team.

Not only is Hendo a good coach. In Jamie Langley, we have another coach who is proving his worth. I would hope we could keep him at the club. However I fear he may get poached by another club.

You do know Rob is still involved with the junior set up.
RP was thrown in the deep end with very little support

He wasn't. He was offered a role as head coach (Whilst not being competent to do the job) and accepted the offer. No one forced him to.

And Rob Powell is doing an excellent job with the kids.

And to think we could have had Darryl Powell as coach instead of Rob. We could be top of the Super League now.

Course we could bosty! Just like we won the treble with the coach we had that achieved that accolade!
I do believe with RP we did top the league for a couple of weeks

Sure we were top of the league.We then sunk like a lead balloon. When questioned by fans about the poor performances, Rob Powell answered, " What do you want me to do about it" He was the coach for heavens sake.
What is more, I believe Gus 'good for nothing' McKay was involved with his appointment at the time.
Cannot fault what he is doing with the youth now. He has found his niche.

Mate not disagreeing, he was the wrong man at the time, he didn't have the experience or skills, but it's gone! D Powell! Would he have got anymore out of the bunch of players we had at the time? Not convinced! We all know the whole club was not in a good place, some choose to put all the blame on one person that's up to them.
We have had better coaches! We have had worse than hendo, IMO he is a decent coach but suggesting the best we have had am not sure. Hope he stays though we need the stability at the moment.

Tony Currie was the best coach this club ever had
Les Kiss did a decent job
John Monie was amongst the worst
Yes I know RP is still at the club, he did what he could but should never have been in that position, he is doing a great job now and for that we are grateful.
Best talent scout the club has had is Tony Rae
IH is the best for a long time and who knows may end up taking TC's place at the top, would like to think so
Jamie Langley is achieving things we would never have thought possible

Hard to disagree with any of this.

What about Mac, Dan Staines.....

Roy lester. Tony the tank Gordon Ross strudwick and the legend that is reg Bowden all pretty good coaches

Maybe not Roy !icon_smile.gif. Good man though

I was talking SL era. However if they were SL I honestly cant remember them.

No. Before sl. Fulham & crusaders

Were these super league time?

Both coached in Super League. Tony Currie was coach in 1996 when Super League kicked off. Stayed until 1998
For 1999 Dan Stains took over, got us to the Cup Final and later in the season was sacked.
Les Kiss took over, I think with Tony Rea for the rest of that season.
In 2000 John Monie became coach, only to be sacked and Tony Rae took over as caretaker coach. Rae took the job fulltime for the next season.
