I would seriously worry about our future if we ended up with Justin Morgan, he seems to have gone downhill at HKR over the past year or so. His recruitment skills leave a lot to be desired

| Justin Morgan cant do anything wrong in my eyes and would be great IMO for Cas.
Seems he might be sacked tomorrow morning from Rovers so he must be on the list for you guys.
I would be sad to see him go but life goes on.

Mixed feelings if we appoint Morgan, a fresh start could work wonders for him & for us,however if he comes to us the board should make it very clear that the young,local players shouldn't be sacrificed for over the hill Australians on European passports.

That and a condition that he brings Dobson with him to partner Rangi.

| Do you really want Morgan? He's achieved a lot at Rovers but his team plays "safety first" rugby based on its kicking game, to make the opposition play in their own half and wait for them to make mistakes. Hardly in the best traditions of Classy Cas.

| Noble is always going to be first choice for me. Although I don't think I would put Morgan in my top 3 at all

| I'd welcome Kear, Noble or Morgan in that order. Whilst we have all remained very patient with TM, I've never really rated him. We keep playing the same plays week after week, year after year. Put TM in charge of such as Wakey, in their current climate, I very much doubt he would have motivated or achieved the same as Kear has so far this year.
Rightly or wrongly I like to see a coach who shows his passion about our team. It rubs off on the team in terms of spirit, determination and conviction to each and every play they make. I've heard 101 excuses why TM is so in-animate in his approach to each of our games. It's not his style....it means nothing etc etc I've heard them all!!
However he could be seen leaping for joy when the Exiles got the late final score the other week. So what's the difference? Why did he show this passion for them, yet nothing for us?

Yeah that Wayne Bennett was well known for his passion, dancing up and down the touchline; terrible coach.

| I have to disagree, TM does get passionate about Cas. I do think it's time for change though. Mainly for defensive reasons for me.

I can recall plenty of occasion where tm has jumped up and down when we have won so i dont where you get that from if he ever gets to coach a club that is spending full cap he will win a trophy or 2 imho. The fact that he has made us regular play off contenders with one of the smallest budgets in the league says alot about him as a coach.
As for kear, give him a team of no hopers and he will get them over achieve give him a big money team and he will underachieve as we fall somewhere in the middle who knows what he will bring to us but i can guarantee that if we had kear as coach we would be far less entertaining to watch.

| It would be interesting if TM left Cas at the end of the year, yet decided that he wanted to stay in the game in the UK. Does anyone think he would get a coaching position elsewhere in SL?

Aren't you saying exactly the same about TM and JK, in terms of working with a small budget team??
Yet your comments about expected results with a big money team are into crystal ball territory in both cases? TM being given an un-proven benefit of doubt....where as JK being unfairly shot down?

Kear had the full cap to spend at hull and cc cup aside didnt do very well with what he had, and the reason he won that cc final for me is that his team were underdogs, when jk coaches a team that are favorites he does not have a good record.
As a bloke i have alot of time for kear but i dont want him to coach cas we would have boring rugby every week and i dont think he would do any better than tm in regards to where we finish, who no matter what you say about him has got us playing as classy cas again. Under kear i have no doubt our defense would improve but our attack would drop off dramitically.

| As we all know, you can't put a top 3 team together in 1 year...Full salary cap or not!! Getting to a CC final is a result in its self in the 1st year. Hence saying that he would underachieve with a well resourced team seems a bit harsh, based on one season at Hull. Conversely saying that TM would do much better in the same circumstances is a bit optomistic, and un-substantiated. Aswell as the promotion that TM helped us acheive, he was also at the helm for a relegation. Something that JK has managed to avoid for Wakey.
So, with this in mind do we really know what JK's brand of rugby would be with a well resourced team in his 2nd or 3rd term in charge? Don't get me wrong, I like to see some flair out there on the pitch but it doesn't excite me quite as much as a weak defence annoys me!
He's a Cas lad, give him the same chance that we all want our local lads to be given on the field.
