Keiron Purtill, Assistant @ St Helens is interested. You heard it here first.

We need someone to come in with new inovative fresh ideas.

i have a strange feeling our new coach may be an Ozzie.

Gibbo??

does anybody really beleive it won't be Karl Harrison ?

There shouldn't be. Already a done deal isn't it?

Thought Rhino was targeting a full time SL coaching role? his stint at Batley can only help with this as well.

Other than nostalger (sp) what benefits will accrue from coaching Fax, cos lets face it SL isn't round the corner at the shay anymore, just a heap load of NRC and GF's hopefully.

Could we afford Michael Hagan ?

Well we couldn't afford Calland, but the Queensland assistant will be cheaper

Personally I think that the new Messiah tag being put on Rhino may be one that will be difficuly to deliver. I'd rather see someone like Purtill who wants to progress and obviously has good groundings and contacts.

Exactly. I remember the same thing happening with Tony Anderson, the prodigal son returns. I think a clean fresh break is needed.

Don't see how you can compare TA with KH. One coach just beginning his career, against a proven coach with very good man management skills.

Think there is more in common between Purtill and TA than there is between Rhino and TA.

Stanley Gath

Will he bring his asst Abi Ways??
