Done deal, Leigh jumped the gun and have announced on their website (pron another thread I know).

If my daughter was a Tigers cheer lady then she would have to resign im afraid

Pretty happy, nothing at this stage to be unhappy about.

Excellent a coach with CC, SL and WCC honours.

Great news.

he must be better than when Terry was appointed. After all have we ever had a coach that has won the Super league before. Dont write basil off give him a chance.

Few quid saved next year, looks like only going when freebes are on offer!

who ever the new coach is there will always be some people not happy . so lets accept it if that is the case and judge the man after a season not before he gets here.

gutted

Phew! I was starting to think Cas fans had collectively lost their minds but this post reassured me that not all of them have!

Because after years of steady improvement after hitting rock bottom i feel the club will go backwards again with him in charge.

Some very short sighted tiger fans here. I think it's a superb appointment and a bloke who has some serious credentials and respect in the game.

Finally a bloke who has been there and done that, yet another aussie who always seem to be the best for the tigers. This is a guy who is someone who could really implement some much needed strength in the back door scenes of the club, hopefully pushing some of our players into taking their off-field responsibilities and expectations of a professional rugby player more seriously.
