As the thread suggests , I would be happy if these 2 guys ran it from here on in. Webster/Last can go with Agar dspite being decent peopkle. I feel we need a broom through the lot and the board could go as well for me. They have backed Agar through all this.

I know Longy wants to get into coaching and Fitz has the genuine respect. Longy will barely play this season and he would have a palyer coach in Fitz on the pitch.

I want a world class coach but may have to wait 6 months to end of respective NRL season.

They would be better than Nobby/McNamara for sure .....????

Why would they be better then Noble ? How can you back that up ?

Noble is the only alternative available,but Fitz could do a job i reckon?

Fitz who wants to play 13 for 80 mins?

Long who claims he's fit the hobbles around the park?

And why get rid of Last? Aren't the 20's doing well?

What we need is an experienced coach who knows what they are doing at top level not more coaches who have never been a head coach!

So you would have opposed Maguire or Kearney?

We either need a coach with a proven track record or a coach who has worked within a top class coaching environment.

I was in favour of noble but the more I think about it the more I think we need an overseas coach. There was obviously some reason that wigan got rid of him. If he'd got us to the verge of the GF 2 years in a row we'd have offered him a contract for life. wigan saw his deficiencies, got rid and won the GF within 12 months. For me, that shows a level of vision that our board simply don't have

Noble is the BEST British coach around proven track record he dragged Wigan back from the brink . took a team from Wales and got them into the top 8 .What could he achieve with the money that has been given to Agar .I say sign him NOW after he has had his Sunday fry up .Every one now knows we are in a state . Desperate means desperate measures . Long may have a very good RL brain but as yet he is no coach .Lowes proved that you have to learn the role as a coach . Fitz does he want or need the hassle
Noble is there waiting and ready sign him and we might achieve some thing this year

Long has moved back over to Wigan. For the extra hours he'd need to put in with coaching responsibilities that is a no-no for me.

Has to be Noble for me who likes to play the forward dominated game which is also what we do but would tighten us up in other areas like defensive structures plus hes available and is a big name for attracting future players. He also did well at Bradford, Got Wigan out of the 4hit and got Crusaders into the play offs. He may not take us to the very top but even if he gets us to top six and playing consistely well thats a thousand times better than were we are at now. And i dont think he'd take any from the idiots at the top which has to be a good thing.

But would the idiots employ him?

It's the obvious choice IMO till the end of the season, interview the others and go from there.

Long can't be d on the pitch, why would you want him coaching off it?

If we want to be competitive then noble is OK. If we want to be winners then it has to be an overseas coach IMO

Why do you what webster out? Agar yes webster was in the sport bar after the game and spoke openly. He wasn t jeered but applauded for his answers. First team coach no but one for the future somewhere yes.

Kinda agree with that. Noble would sort us out and bring in some good players and probably do a fine job over 2 years.

The thing for me is what overseas coach? Do we try for someone proven or do we try for a young guy with potential (not unlike Agar) like Mcguire or Brown?

The only experienced nrl coaches we could get are failed ones.

So do we take a chance on someone like Dymock or Taylor? Could end up the same as Agar?

Could, but we have to try.

Agreed, this proven world class coach stuff is getting tedious as it won't happen, we need to find an up and coming coach from Aus with the emphasis being on certain qualities rather then simply experience or past success (would help though) my only concern would be the ability of the decision makers at the club to identify such a person after the Agar farce, and then if we did find the right man would we be an attractive proposition for someone who is possibly in line for an NRL job in a couple of years.

So cheeky. You've been supporting the appointment of Noble all this time and as soon as it threatens to become a >20% possibility you're changing horses? Just laziness on the avatar front, surely? Overtype Agar in your wheelie bin with Noble. Naughty.

I wouldn't be opposed trying a young guy with potential, so long as he's been working under some of the best coaches in the world for a considerable time. You won't get that in a British coach.

Wasnt Brown a failure and with his record in Aus,i wouldnt have touched him with a barge pole but look how he is doing over here.

Correct mate and McGuire was only an understudy to Bellamy so both were risky appointments.

Why have Long/Fitz till the end of the season? We would be better promoting Webster till the end of the season and look for a quality replacement in the meantime.

There would be no point imo in replacing Agar with 2 untried coaches. We need to go for quality.
