Sort your defence out . Millwards style is if a team scores one, his team will score 2.

| I hope you lot don't get Millward - but can't blame Ian for wanting a Super League job, I mean it's not like we can 'win' promotion. And as for Cas, survival is your annual aim, and you've got that for another 3 years. Don't forget you got RELEGATED (remember that) under Terry Matterson, but eventually he was a 'whisker' from taking you guys to a challenge cup final. So what makes you think that what he achieved at Saints was just down to the squad he had, or he was a 'younger & better' coach back then ? Do you think after a failed stints at Wigan & North Queensland, and coaching in the championship for the past 2 seasons, that is the Ian Millward that you might be getting ?
Who would Cas fans REALLY like as their new coach ???

| Why would anyone not want Ian Millward in charge ?
Only three coaches - Noble, McRae and Tony Smith - have won more SL matches than him and he has also won 2 SL titles, 2 Challenge Cups, the World Club Challenge and now the Northern Rail Cup with the play-offs to come and I wouldn't mind betting he denies Featherstone that.
He'll be as hungry as hell after coaching outside SL and I think he'll prove better for Cas' than Matterson.

Those coaching figures are wrong and I know he did it tough at Wigan but these are the facts:
He took over in May 2005 and won 8 of 15 league and cup matches to the end of that season.
Admittedly, he had a nightmare at the start of the following season (1 win from 9) and that cost him his job.
So, in total he won 9 of 24 games (or 1 in 3) whilst at Wigan.
This season : 26 wins from 28 league and cup games in charge of Leigh - one of the defeats a hotly-disputed 16-22 Cup loss to Catalan.

You kind of answer your own question. If Millward was the only one of the coaches you named available then maybe I'd be happy. As it is, Noble (more SL wins, more consistent, successful at more than one team) was an option. I think Millward has the potential to do better than Matterson, but Noble had the potential to be MUCH better.

The figures were taken from RLP - very rarely are these wrong but apologies if they are. Even so, it's an awful record.

Depends what kind of football you want to watch. Do you still want a 'classy cas' ? I do.
I'd rather watch an Ian Millward-coached side than one of Noble's any day.
Incidentally, Millward's Saints beat Noble's Bulls in the 2001 Cup Final and 2002 Grand Final.

| Millward over Noble any day of the week. You might as well disband your U20's and U18's if Noble gets the job.

The difference being we now have an owner taking the club places, delivering promises. You have a chairman still feeding you the same old bull he has for years and years, signed a muppet of a coach, no new signings because the club is broke, and glasshoughton is still light years away

18821_1298880800.jpg [quote='Fishsta"']I've always thought of McGuire as a good player, and I wouldn't normally wish injury on any player, but there was a certain hint of poetic justice to that.
[/quote]
Another classic:
[quote='Fishsta']You forgot to take off the "Saints Reduction Factor" when calculating the ban.
Standard suspension / Saints Reduction Factor = Actual ban for Saints player.
Therefore (2 / 3) = 0.666
0.666 < 1 therefore actual ban equals "less than 1 match".
Therefore ZERO.[/quote]

Let's just wait and see who your coach will be, shall we? And who we will sign?
Although GH is probably more than light years away!!!!!
