We dont know do we cos we dont see the training or what the assistants do. One thing is for certain giving his press conferences is we look like a pub team with him in overall charge. Its an embarrasing and humbling time for the club right now.

I mean if this was JJBs chance to show he could be a future Leeds head coach the signs arent very good. Phil Daly or the media dept should really start cutting these press conferences short.

We need a new appointment and the right appointment in place urgently.

Give the bloke a chance . He’s only been interim coach due 1 week and has no time to make any changes. Yes he waffles, yes he probably used bible jibberish in the dressing room, but he’s passionate and patient. He won’t loose his head, and we need that .

Hes just not the right man Shabbsy i think we all know that really. We need the right man in charge asap. Its a very difficult situation.

Fingers crossed the team shows some pride, fight and bottle tonight and gives us some positivity.

Spoke to my mate in Aus who's a huge Sharks fan and he said there's no mention of Morris coming over. He did a great job with the Sharks but he said he was talked about for another HC job over there. Feels he will get another crack pretty soon.

Yeah. No such thing as ‘the right man’, think the Furner show proved that. We need a more experienced man. But in the meantime we need to get behind JJB as he head coach for now. Think if we keep Saints under 50 it’s a result for JJB tonight….
Then rebuild

Latest odds for next HC...

Tony Smith: 5/2
Danny Ward: 7/2
Ryan Carr: 5/1
Anthony Seibold: 6/1
Shane Flanagan: 6/1
Michael Monaghan: 8/1
Cameron Ciraldo:10/1
JJB: 12/1
Danny McGuire: 16/1
James Webster:16/1

I'd like to see Seibold but not sure how contractually tied in he is with RFU.

I'd have Carr of Flanagan from that list ideally.. i get the feeling the appointment will come from an NRL based coach..

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we announced someone for next season when GH gets back…..

Re: 2022 | Head Coach talk : Fri Apr 01, 2022 10:05 am  

I hope the announcement is soon. Think the fans and players need to hear something back.

I read an article recently about how it's a really good gig for ex-NRL head coaches to become assistants in NRL teams. They get to coach, which is the part they love, without all the media pressure and attention that the HC wants. They also get paid really well.

For that reason, I think Carr has to be the favorite. I'd really like John Morris, but as others have said, he'll probs be loving it at Souths now, and biding his time for another crack at the NRL.

I just don't think SL has the draw it used to over there. Interesting that Flanagan has already distanced himself from the job before GH has even arrived in Oz.

Itz not an ideal scenario for any coach to come in at this stage .they really need an off season training

Darryl Powell : Sat Apr 02, 2022 7:05 am  

I honestly don’t think DP can last another month at Wire. With the squad they have their season is even worse than ours.The fans are sticking with him ( bizarrely considering how Price was treated), but must be unrest within the club.
Would we be interested in a mid season switch? Would be a yes from me….

Re: Darryl Powell : Sat Apr 02, 2022 8:38 am  

Why would we want a serial loser to become our new head coach?

To continue our current dire predicament by adding a dire coach?

Gallows humour i suppose
