christ mr sack all the junior coaches players and everyone else is being positive again move on with whatever happened to you mate it really is boring been goin on for too long the lad at bottom end has a better win and development record than anyone inside and outside of the club at the level he coaches and he sends anythin from 12 to 14 up to academy a year where its fallen down is within the academy for some reason they cant get players past this next level currnet coach is avin a mare since he come in

walker was good so he rewarded by moving up and rightly so

club should do same with lad at bottom for me maybe he could take more thru to next level said it for years his teams play good footy and parents and players respect im too i see and hear it all the time when im watching our juniors

coaches in development jobs dont stay long term across how many head coaches we had had since mac if they aint good enuf theres loads of good kids just need a firsts coach that has the bottle to play em hopefully its this bloke we have in place now mass sackings is not the answer so take a tablet and calm down fella
sacking kids coaches and blaming them for the demise of the first team over past few years is just red mist

Avin a mare enough where is Junior Ensemba from? Maybe our elite coaching team should ask politely where such potential is sourced.

Could see us lining up something like this next season.

Miller
Hall
Connor
Newman
Handley
Croft
New Halfback
Mik
Ackers
RCG
New Second Rower
Bentley
Smith

New Prop
Holroyd / New Prop
Gannon / McDonnell
O’Connor

Then we need depth.

I think Bentley will move to becoming a middle forward full time from the bench next season

Can't see RCG leaving the NRL.
And from what Matt Shaw said in his article we won't be signing a Martin replacement, but rather running with Bentley/McDonnell/Gannon(+Littlewood?)
It does sound like we'll be getting 2 new props though, we really need to get them right this time

Would love it to be RCG, but I very much doubt it. I don't think Frawley will leave either. Arthur seems happy with him even if large parts of the fanbase are not. Instead, I think he will use Connor ( if signed) as a genuine spine utility covering injury and lack of form at full back and halfback. If Mom leaves I think he'll use the quota spot for a big athletic ball carrying 3/4, either wing or centre. Would be great to a sign second row, but I think we'd need add an English prop for that to happen.

that is a better more thought out post zoo zoo its more thought out and i agree with a lot of it, that said you have stated on a lot of occasions get rid of them all complete clearout my take as a nutural going to both scholarship and academy games the club dont have best in class, a matty1978 quote in their coaching roles and there is a bloke and i am guessing his staff that need to be allowed to step up, i do not agree with we recruit the best at that level at all we should but we dont far from it but that is another story despite the soundbites we see on the website i do not know about the relatioships with community clubs i know when i coached we had rhinos coaches on the ground supporting i dunt know if it happens now as i have stopped coaching i thought wigan played the same amount of home grown players as we did in the first team last year? so again this fabrication that others are doing better than us is untrue like all clubs there is a lot of good stuff the club does at the bottom end but there is a ton of stuff they need to be better at, and is that all down to the coaches who are part time as you have stated on more than one occasion.

If we don't recruit the best youngsters where are they going?

you tell me you are the one wanting all the kids coaches sacked so you must be across it all plenty of articles and crosrefrencing you can do to join up the dots over the past few years about young players from the area at other clubs keep you busy and stop you moaning about the club all the time
