Would you have given Powell a job at Castleford? Ive said in a previous post weeks ago Aston would make a decent superleague coach.

Sheffield are doing crap this season don't want Aston don't want Cummins don't want noble don't want kear don't want Morgan back don't want macnamara don't want Chester lets set our sights a bit higher

Just proves my earlier post, we've gone from wanting the next Maguire when we appointed CS to trying to find the next Daryl Powell this time round, it didn't exactly work out to everyone's liking last time round did it?

The job has to go to Chester he knows the club inside out knows the fans and chairman's expectations been here through out Sandercocks reign and nearly all of Morgans players know and respect him. People calling for Webster he is only a assistant the same as chester

Chester has been part of the problem that has seen two coaches sacked, wake up. Do you really trust the same people who hired these guys to now carry out a full investigation to all off field matters to ascertain what is going wrong? If these people are so efficient at identifying what is wrong then why couldn't they step in over the past two years and nip it in the bud.

I worry for our club.

Who would you like?

Yeah, Hudgell out!!!!!

Wigan are a selling club go for Wane?

Our ambitions are mid table and always will be. That's the kind of coach we will attract.

Do I detect a hint of sarcasm?



I'm sorry it didn't quite work out, for the obvious selfish reason. Also because I'd like to see an understated technical guy do well, rather than a tea-cup throwing passionate type. But even for me his downbeat realism got a bit wearing, and I did wonder if his constant managing of expectations eventually became self-fulfilling.
Too many signings that didn't work out - and too few wins basically. Not that bad, but not that good either.

If Chester can combine the best of what he's learned from Morgan and Sandercock, that'd be good. Purtell would look the most likely to manage the transition to a top job of the assistants elsewhere. Or another Aussie; gouing against the current fashion has advantages.

Could paul rowley,the leigh coach be worth a shot,we seem to be nominating coaches past their sell by date noble,kear etc,and clowns like mcbanana.Castleford took a chance with powell whose CV was similar to rowleys,successful at a lower level,as I posted earlier james webster would have been my 1st choice but the chance has gone.

Half the players wouldn't understand the big words he uses NOT FOR ME

Not for me!

Paul Deacon must be worth a quiet shout. Been coaching in the best set up in the league with a winning mentality, was also a very clever player.

I think Sandercock was unlucky mainly because of the injuries we have had. Take 12 players out ok not all at once but over the season so far I don't think any coach could have expected better results. It seems his man management has been the straw that broke the camels back. If he has "lost the dressing room " as it is termed then the right decision has been made . Who comes in i do not know quite a few names been bandied about, I would not have McNamara he is just a bull artist talks a good game but never produced. Noble no, Cooke never, Webster another assistant no, I would go for Karl Harrison if he would be willing, Another Ozzie few to choose from available now, Peter Sharp good coach according to those in the know, on by FC would love another shot in. Superleague especially to prove to the black n whites they were wrong. I would like to see John Keir given a go he shows passion another one who was on by Hull FC vast experience and loads of experience. But what ever we think the only ones that count are Phil Lowe and Neil Hudgell

Not a bad nomination that, he's also been involved with the national team.

I think our a ambitions are much higher, whether we can achieve them remains to be seen.

The only capacity he should be allowed near the club in, is if he wants to quote for the South Stand when we develop. He was that bad last time he was in SL, they replaced with with McRae.

Powell has shown you can coach at the lower levels and step up to better a team.

I'm sure there are others from the league below that could do a job. But at the moment no one really jumps out as an obvious choice.

I don't like that big spider thing, it frightens me.

Drew Webster?

What you need is a local boy. Someone who understands East Hull. Someone who has lived there and continues to contribute to the area. The kind of man who owns a pub (or two, or three, or..).

Go on, you secretly know you want to

.

Frightened of spiders?? What kind of terrorist are you?

The terrified kind.

Not sure I agree, previous coaches underperformed at Cas - the players he has at his disposal are a far higher quality than is given credit with the possible exception of the half backs. In terms of the first choice three quarter line there are not many better and the front row is probably the best in SL!
