that's a novel one, can just see him fitting well now we have got some decent beer at the club

TBH i would leave Tony Drury doing the job he does now as he does that extremely well - if we move him up, we then need to find someone equally as good at the job he currently does or better, otherwise the production line will cease to produce the young players we are looking for.

No suprise I am in the replace Kear camp. As for who I would prefer, clearly it would depend on who was interested in the job.

Can't help but feel slightly wistful about the Catalans situation; if Ted had let JK go there, we could have ended up with Trent Robinson, who's worked wonders in a short space of time.

Bit of a disproportionate comparison in squad though and I'm sure TR would have struggled with our shambolic start to the season.
JK for me next season, but he's got it all to prove, but hopefully he will have the off field backing that has been largely absent in the past.

I think if JK had the resources Robinson has we'd be in a better position. Jsut look at Scott Dureau compared to what we have.

For me if we go for a lesser well known name, we are sending a signal out to the RL world that we are still thinking small time. We need to be attracting a manager/coaching team that has the recognition world wide, so that we can pick up the big name foreign players as well as the best of british that we can get hold of.

For me, Noble brings a lot of experience and professionalism into a club. Cru developed massively under him, Wigan turned from relegation candidates to the top end of the table - Maguire didn't need to do massive amounts to that Wigan team to turn them into Champions because of the work done previously.

Justin Morgan is a coach that has a good reputation and is supposedly not entirely enamoured with the way KR is going. I could see him linking in well with our backroom staff, similar age bracket, would have respect of players and is young enough but still experienced enough to take WTW forward a few steps. It would also be a great sign to the RL community that he would be moving forwards from KR to WTW rather than a retrograde step of choosing a Championship manager or a relatively unknown background person.

Jon Sharp has a good defensive mind, and someone with those abilities is what WTW need right now in my book. If you sort the defence out, then the team has the confidence to step up in attack. Getting players to use their energies carefully is a good thing that we need to be adapting. If a player is carrying an injury but still playing, he can't be playing at his peak if he putting in the most tackles and in each play on the attack too. Sharing the workload is important. We need to learn that balance in our play.

So, a dream team of several key coaching staff is my preferred option rather than 'a cheaper option' of one coach.

A coach cannot live off his history, and fans should look at the here and now, not just the past.

We also need to consider that if next season we are looking to spend the full cap money, we need a coach that can attract those players, and one that players respect enough to come and play for.

clear out of first team coaching team bring in a 2nd in commamd from Australia and let hom chose his own back team.

Kear out now & Drury to look after the team for the rest of the year. If we don't stay in SL Drury should be kept on, but if we do say in SL it would b good to see a coach ome in who has a track record of getting into the top 5 on a regular basis.

Kear should quit now whilst he still has an ounce of reputation left.

doesn't even have that

I would give it to Dury until the end of the season and we know what league we are in. If we go down let Dury have the job permanently if we stay up get in someone with experience who can actually coach players how to defend.

I agree Drury or even Noble in charge until end of season. Kear out asap

The problem with giving it to Tony Drury is the likelyhood of him failing simply because he is no miracle worker, and with the teams still left to play and the short length of time he would have in trying to salvage something from this disaster it might look as though he also does not have a clue and might look unfavourable for him, whereby if we do go down and he got the job, a fresh start for him with his choice of players would be better imo.

Think he would have struggled to get a permit for an English team.

I agree with your first post though.

A culture change is a must, Dury needs a run behind an experienced coach, Noble could be a good option although the announcement on the 26th will give you significantly more options hopefully.

You're clearly off your trolly - get a grip.

I thought he meant Briers as a player. Not as daft as it seems in another 4 or 5 years time he would fit the bill.

Yes it is Jack. He needs to learn how to be a coach first and see if he's got what it takes. I thought the days of crafty S/H moving straight into coaching were gone, there is supposed to be a career path now. At the very least he needs to be an assistant coach somewhere. Also we are talking now, 4-5 years he won't want to coach a Div 1 team.

Sorry vasty,

I meant as a player and nothing else obviously in a few years that is. You know we like old uns well past their peak

.

The player would be fine, not likely, but fine

Kear may as well stay for the next two games as we are going to get flogged in both of them. For me he can stay til after the licence decision.

It will be interesting to see if he relents and reverts to the youngsters who served him so well at the start of the season.

He may as well, what have we got to lose?

I thought he missed a chance last week of bringing in 3 or 4 youngsters but he seemed to bottle it.

It's very easy to be critical after all it's not our job, so I do understand Coaches going with experience - but there comes a point of no return and you might as well take risks. I mean it can't get much worse than 70 points - even Saints would find it hard to score more - due to time limitations (nothing else) - I mean 70 90 110 it really a matter of degree the humilition started long ago.
