I do remember milward announced as Cas. But I also knew when he returned we were a stepping stone back to Super League. He gets Leigh and played some of the best rugby I’ve ever seen when the club didn’t have half as good players

The problem here though is that Beaumont just can't keep his hands out of the pot and no self respecting coach would ever take a job where the owner meddles so much in 'coaching business'.

If you ever chat to Alex Murphy he will tell you that the one thing he would not tolerate was interference from the board and they were only there to buy the players HE requested. The players only answered to him and he in turn answered to the board, He felt so strongly about it that it was almost a condition of his employment and the only place he ever went where the board meddled was Salford and look how that turned out. He wasn't there two minutes.

Whoever it is needs to enforce it is done there way & without any interference from KFC or DB *an absolute must*.



Totally impossible & thats why no top coach will come

I agree mostly with this , Alex the Best Coach I have ever seen, and always his own man , I spoke today with Andy Greg, he said a Coach needs to be in full control, I asked him about his time at Salford as Coach , he said John Wilkinson would come to him and ask What is the Team today Andy?But otherwise never got involved.
