Sorry but it's a Shambles, even if the club recruit a top level replacement.
CC got 3 season of terrible results and a WP gets 1 season, just don't understand this decision.
The clubs at a critical stage and this desisions totally baf8at this stage.
So is Mr Carter head of recruitment, well I for one bloody hope not.
The problem with the club is Carter it's his club and he couldn't give a stuff about the supporters. Just pay for your ticket and give him a total free hand.
Let's hope he's got a trick or two up his sleeve because if he hasn't he's just dug one hell of a hole for himself.

True...
Happened lots of time before - only thing is, some of the senior players have left too!


PS Nice new avatar FIL...............

Shocking decision. Poching and Cummins did exactly what was required of them given the resources available. Constant penny pinching makes any coaches job impossible. Carter is the one that should walk, he has run his course here.

Can't help but think this is a mistake.

However, if they have a talented experienced coach coming in, then fair play to the board for wanting to move us forward.
But we are talking about a well established NRL assistant coach or Head coach out of a job......not a Super League assistant with no experience.
We might as well have kept Poching for that, who even with the peaks and troughs is more successful than any other coach in win percentage in decades.

The Maguire who admitted at the end of the season that he realises he wasn’t ready for a head coach role? Sounds about right.

What exactly did the club expect from WP, the players recruited wasn't his.
We far too often play the poor old Wakey card then get rid of a coach just before he's responsibility for recruitment.
SORRY SOMETHING STINKS.

Whilst most of us are surprised at this decision, let's just wait and see who comes in before we throw the baby out with the bath water. MC and JM have steadied this ship since they took over and will be fully aware how crucial next season is with the up-coming seismic changes at the end of the year, so for me we should cut them some slack until the new coaching set-up is announced...you never know we may be pleasantly surprised

(Alternatively...we may not too

)

No he has not been sacked he had a 12 month contract he's fulfilled it he doesn't get a new one that's not being sacked.

******BREAKING NEWS******
Vastman being quoted at 33/1 on RW&B FB page to be next coach!

Maybe Carters found a coach with their own magic money tree?

How very strange.....and Daryl Powell is still in a job !

It's to be hoped Carter's got an replacement in mind. I wasn't in favour of WP because he'd been part of the last regime however he fit the Carter's bill.
A quick announcement with a coach who can attract players because Carter should not be heading up recruitment.

If what I heard yesterday morning was correct, it's more a case of someone coming up that was too much of an opportunity to pass up but we shall see if that has come to fruition over the next couple of weeks.

Halfway through the season most wanted him gone, winning 4 of the last 5 games doesn't tell me it was a success he had 27 rounds to instill his credentials, oddly he had some weird way of punishing individuals which is never going to work by dropping them for a period, and from what i saw most the early games he didn't have a clue how to sort the issues of defence structure or changing up subs to change games.

Reality hit when we went bottom and voila kick up the backside to start winning, a collective effort but it is now 2 seasons in a row where its come to the last few games to get some wins.

I like poching but he is not a head coach the Toulouse game at Magic proved this, i'm not shocked at the news but i am concerned as to who will take over given some i'm sure may have applied 12 months ago and got turned away and what would now entice them to come in with the recruitment etc

There's lots of speculation surrounding this decision and we may never know the details but my main concern is how this will affect recruitment. Willie is a well liked and respected individual and I'm sure this will be a factor in people choosing whether to come to us or not. I sincerely hope the coach who comes in will be able to influence the many payers we now need.
Thank you Willie for your time with us. Not been a smooth ride by any means

First things first here.
Willie, thanks for your efforts and well done for keeping Trinity in SL under very difficult circumstances and good luck for the furure








The main issue is just who will we have coming in and then, what about recruitment.

The new coaching team need to be in place before we begin recruitment, which will leave us massively behind the other SL sides and possibly behind whoever gains promotion, which is far from ideal.

Yes, there will be opportunities to recruit players after the World Cup but the longer that things are uncertain, the less chance we have to get first pick on any available players.

Lets hope there is an announcement soon.

I'm just so relived that Agar has signed for NZ Warriors.

would have been less surprised a couple of months ago!
Suppose he's paying the price for all those mid season horror shows.

Top post this. Just add the defence coach was Cummings

The Cummings appointment was puzzling.

Hey! Welcome back. We've missed you during that late season run of wins.

Previous two posts 24th June. "Joke club, Joke team, I'm done" "Poching needs sacking"

Strange one this, and I for one, are baffled.

Granted, probably not got the greatest win ratio, bit neither did Chester in his last 3 seasons.

Also given the comments earlier by FIL about players moaning about coaching standards, and the interview with Miller on SKY, I think after the win at Hull, personally, I thought his body language in thst interview didn't give me much faith, I think some of our big name players have to stand up and be counted, and take the blame for poor results.

Have these players now gone?

Willie selected him as his assistant
