New coach announced - simon woolford : Sun Apr 29, 2018 5:07 pm  

announced tonight i believe

good to have a breath of fresh air come into the club with new ideas

hope he is given a chance by the fans even before he sets foot in the country but doubt it.

his job is to keep us in super league for 2019!

going forward a top 8 finish in 2019...hang on rick stone did that

so if he doesnt get top 4 he will be seen as a failure?!

welcome woolford.... big job on his hands

No, he will be seen as a failure if he scrapes into SL by the skin of a layer of paint- and just about sneaks into the 8 whilst playing dire rugby, then the team divebomb. Oh wait- stone did that.
He will also be seen as a failure if we consistently continue to get a plethora of soft tissue injuries, and players can’t get fit.

Fresh eyes may help- but it’s going to need a damn site more than that- and I can’t see brough wanting to play ball with him.

My answer to that is if Brough doesn't want to toe the line dump him, we need to move on and he offers very little now other than gobbing off at all and sundry..puts effort in but is not the messiah many would have us believe.
Woolford has a big job on to keep us in sl and more than likely through the middle eights which will be tough in itself and he will find he has a team full of injury prone players which means he will not get a settled side. Generally super league is poor and we are bottom of that pile deservedly....can he inspire the players to perform consistently and not just occasionally? Time for the players to be taken out of the comfort zone they seem to be in at our club and produce. IF we survive then he should have a big clear out and get players in who have a record of playing and not handing in sick notes. Good luck to him .... Interesting to see what style he plays...I suppose he has been told keep us up at all costs , boring or not

Brough seems the short of bloke who needs things spelling out as clearly as possible. Talk to him straight, and it might mickey him off, but he’ll get the message.

He’s thirty five. He doesn’t need someone to be nice to him. He needs someone to tell him how to get the most out of the next eighteen months before he finally retires, and then how to earn a living for the rest of his life.

A good coach could squeeze a phenomenal Indian summer out of him. But it won’t happen without some pretty hard truths being told.

Well brown knew how to get the best of brough- let’s hope he’s passed on the magic formula.
He’s certainly got his work cut out regardless. He needs to do better than barely scraping us through the middle 8s In order to make the most of next year IMO.
The key for him is to get an almost full squad fit. Ready to fight for their spot in the team and impress the new coach.
Bumper needs to work his magic quick!

Brown got the best out of just about all our players till he had his wobbler, then it went down hill, yes we won the Hubcap but the fans obviously didn't like what they were watching, at least a lot of them.

If Woolford can do what Brown did he will probably get the freedom of the Town. Just like when Stone came, survival is all we can hope for. We all know how the C Cup went for us and we will be massive underdogs against Wakey this season but who knows many times we do well against them.
As far as i'm concerned we can only get better, Bring on the Hardman.

A new coach thread dominated by Danny Brough talk.
Can't wait for the Brough era to end. I hope our new coach gets the best out of him... if he can't I hope he shows his true strength and drops him. Same goes for any of our players who can't keep there head on the pitch.
