Perhaps more comfortable working to a tight budget, experience of dealing with players of more limited ability.

Sorry I miss typed. I had to do little bit of work then.

What I meant was
"In a lot of ways, I'd rather have a head coach with lots of experience at lower level than someone with extensive experience of top level [u=#FF0000as an assistant[/u.

But even then Bullseye makes a good point. The lower level coach will be more inclined to know what he is getting into.
Effectively, we want the best coach we can get who appreciates what we are.

In days gone by the perfect coach for this kind of job would’ve been Peter Fox. Proven at all levels. Able to get more out of limited players but also able to cope with bigger egos and a track record of saving clubs that were in a mess.

A friend of mine has told me today that whilst calling for some petrol over near Manchester he happened to notice MC and a certain ex Salford and crusaders coach in the same services . And it's not Brian Noble . Don't know how true this is but thought I would share it

NO. NO, NO, NO, NO, NO



I'd rather have Agar back, frankly, he was more inspirational than the guy you are on about.

Please don't be true. I don't think Harris proved himself and would be too big a risk of failure for us. We need someone who gets results on tight budgets, not someone used to failing to get results on tight and significant budgets.

Harris is one of those blokes who could put a glass eye to sleep.

MC sez on Twitter hez not been outside of Wakey so it's bull

Harris is an agent it might have been about a player

Either way, at this stage, MC should talk to anyone that is interested. Doesn't mean that person has got the job.
Same as any other interview process.

Harris was a terrific player doesn't make him a great coach ,bit boring with his oration ,but if I was playing now kind of bloke I'd listen to knows what he's talking about but then again international standoff we should be so lucky

Not necessarily. He can review the CVs and applications of those interested. MC should only talk to the people he is seriously interested in giving the position to. That is why CV and job applications are scanned and then a select few chosen for interview.

Only saying what I've been told . My so called friend is a cas fan so is probably just stirring things but just thought I would share

Just heard Ken Traill is new coach.

So 3 or 4 years at Dewsbury with quite a few ex superleague players in his teams, and with no silverware to show for it! Is your idea a perfect candidate for our new coach. Now dont forget mark Astons more experience than him along with Paul Rowley.Give me Kear over all of them.

Would Brailey come with Rowley? Like as a matched set?

Rowley wont be coming he's already started recruiting for this canadian farce.
he's got 4 Leigh players signed up including Bob Beswick but Brierley isn't one of them.

Ivan Cleary's name been mentioned on one site.

Ivan Cleary's name been mentioned on one site.

Yes and if he was the players would be running up to Featherstone , no cars or coach !!!!!!!

I totally agree with that and God help if anyone of them moaned about it.

During the mid 60s my dad kept the Alec in Belle Vue
I used to go watch the training sessions on Tuesdays and Thursday the training consisted of Don Metcalf taking the squad running round the pitch twice, then 10 mins of touch and pass !!!
And Trail never seemed to make an appearance as I recollect

When we talk about individual players from the 60s many would be great in today's game.
Clearly Neil would be awesome, Brooke, Turner, Don Fox and Haigh to name but a few would be great.
It surprised me when talking to Ian Brooke and Ken Rollin about today's game and whether they'd enjoy it. They both agreed they would love to play in the modern game as the training and tactics have changed so much and would suit them. They also said if Don Fox was playing they'd be able to play at the age they are now as he could put them through a gap every time.

The point being, players can move eras, coaches and training methods not so much.

Even 5 years out of coaching can leave you well behind on tactics and training methods in the modern game.

Well the players kicked Lee Radford out of dressing room after Hull lost

If we were to get Ivan Cleary, which I do doubt. I wonder, as he was the former coach of Penrith, as to whether he would be able to negotiate to bring with him one of the two senior Penrith halves, as it was stated earlier in the season that they are unsettled at the Panthers.

My only doubt on Soward or Wallace is that they are both 30 plus, and have just come back from bad injuries, but I am sure either of them would be a better option to what we already have
