Quote: charlie caroli "Steve you could be right about investing in a Backs Coach, it could be the way forward for all Clubs soon.We at Leigh have been a different Team since Paul Cooke arrived at the Club, it seems to me he has taken the job of Backs coach and it seems to be working , next year we have Keiron Purtill arriving at the Club, so hopefully his input will make more improvements to Leigh.I think a bit more help on the Coaching front would do RM no harm.'"
I think Purtill got injured and never made it as a player but he has a good reputation as a coach so I agree he should work well back at Leigh, maybe even in SL
We could do with someone similar, but with our budget we would probably have to sacrifice a player to secure a decent coach. my view would be to scrap reserves and use cash for coach and a player or two.
