I'm not sure about Luke Robinson yet but now that Toronto are out, I reckon that we have the worst coach in SL

Toronto are "not out" (yet).

Tbf Last is only an interim coach thankfully.
Hopefully we'll see the season out with him and work over the off season to bring someone of calibre in.
Last looked like a beaten man last night it can't be pleasant for him trying to change the playing style, lift player morale and galvanise the team but yet we still turn out the same dross we witnessed under Radford.

I reckon if we made a play for Powell we would be able to get him for next year. Things seem to have gone off the boil at Cas and all Powell does these days is moan about one thing or another in his interviews. Get the feeling that a change of scenery would do him some good.
Money talks though and I dont know what contract he has left at Cas or how much Pearson would be willing to pay, but he would definitely get us in better shape.

Yes because Cas, under Powell, have won the LLS once and one CC final defeat, Radford achieved more...

Powell wouldn't be top of my list, but I'd have him over the current set up. Saying that I'd have just about any qualified coach who have some SL, Championship or NRL experience right now.

Imho: I think Powel has great player development skills but I think he seems to lack a little in team and game plan skills. They (Cas) can play some really good stuff at times, but other times they can leave you scratching you head.

In an ideal world, where finances aren’t precarious, I’d have gone for Wane (to get a grip on the culture of the club) or Fitzgibbon (already said he won’t break his contract, and will end up head coach in the NRL anyway).
I think if there is a change, it will need to be someone who is available, and in the country already (like Tony Smith at the Dobbins).

I wonder if the challenges facing the game will kill off APs energy and enthusiasm for the game. Wouldn’t surprise me.

Is Smith 'available' (wouldn't want him if he was though)

Re: Let Last go : Sat Sep 26, 2020 5:05 pm  

Not Smith specifically, but someone like that. Available and in the country.

It amazes me that people still expect that a new coach would jump at the chance of joining us.
Even if such a coach existed, the chances of it happening are nil.
