He would be a good signing. He trained Leeds' golden generation. Where did you hear it?

Leeds announced yesterday he is leaving at the end of the season. He’s worked with TS at Leeds, Huddersfield and England. Might just be a coincidence.

Is it me, or do I detect Dobbins fans being a bit salty at the prospect of TS coaching us?
Dressed up in perceived weaknesses, and everything being his fault with no fault attached to Lakin.

I think you miss the whole point. Who was to blame or was it 50/50 is immaterial. No one had an issue with TS deciding to leave at the end of the season. The issue was how and when he announced his decision. Ringing the chairman five minutes before the announcement when he was on another continent. Not giving players or staff proper warning. He then went on to justly his actions by saying he had done nothing wrong but was just exercising his right under his contract. If you think that’s an ok way to behave then I’m sorry for you.

Joe Appleyard is a clown. TS himself spoilt his relationship with the club and the fans. Going to FC will make no difference to his legacy. It was already in tatters. I only hope, if he does sign he does not poop on his new club like he did on mine.

I like how much it bothers you who our next coaching appointment will be.

Never been a big fan of Smith so not sure about this appointment. Paul Cooke described him on RH last night as weird and complex or something similar.

That said he's obviously hugely experienced and last year the RL world was eulogising about his ability to galvanise a squad and deliver big improvements, which you'd say are top of our list of requirements.

I have never met the man, but , when he has been interviewed in the past, he sometimes comes across as eccentric, but not genuinely, almost as an affectation. I remember after 05 Cardiff final, he could not give us any credit and it was down to the wonderful Mr Sinfield to afford us any praise.

Up his own backside?

The only thing I'd say is Madge was unable to turn the Tigers around. In fact they got worse.

Wests are bonkers, but I don't think we're far off them in the crazy stakes to be honest

Absolutely spot on. Madge looked as broken as Brett Hodgson at the end of his West Tigers tenure. Coaching and the game evolves and some adapt, while others don't. Whomever is tasked with steadying the ship, needs to be ready for a storm, those rotten apples are still in the barrel and they won't go without a fight.

Seeing Leigh, with the quality they have on board already, I will be genuinely happy just not to go down, which seems a ridiculous statement, given the perceived talent we boast. Trouble is, that talent isn't as good as we think.

Thanks for the concern. Funny how things flip. Not so long ago you had the proven coach, and we had the unproven assistant from a struggling NRL club…..
