Is he still Salford bound??? He would be my choice,look what he did at Crusaders..

He took them to the Play Offs!!! Now that was a minor miracle in itself

Brian Noble was rumoured to want £200,000 pa last time his name was being linked to a vacant SL post.
I think you need to lower your sights a tad.

Ah well,it was nice to dream..........

there is no doubt Brain Noble would be an excellent choice, but I think he would cost the club to much as things stand. for me I think it has to be John Kear as imho he will be the best fit for these desperate times as he is used to working under tight monetary restraints & I think is held in high regard by the RFL which can not be a bad thing, I just honestly do not see how the club can take any more gambles with either an inexperienced head coach or another Pi55 poor Aussie.

How about getting Karl Harrison or Daryl Powell and giving them a go on a 2 year contract?

Powell or Kear for me.

I'd love us to get Stuart Raper back.

He was coaching referees up to last year but has since left the post...

Probably out of our league these days, but if we are talking about what we want...

I asked Stuart and he said he would consider coming back as he doesn't have much to do these days.

I told him to get in touch with the club, even if it was in an advisory role to Danny for a few weeks/months it would certainly help!

Don't you think Raper has been out of coaching too long?

On that footing don't you think Nobles been out too long?

^ dodn't you think Millward had been unsuccessful for too long?

I would be more than happy if Stuart came back and did the exact same as Millward. Why? Cause I know his heart would be well and trully in it.

He's up there as one of the best coaches we've ever had, and win lose or draw I know the team would've been busting a gut all week to try get a result.

I don't think that was the case over the last 15 games for Cas.

It can't have been.... You don't just beat Leeds as take wigan to the 80th minute on a fluke. If the players can hit that level one week then the same team should be able to hit that level (or at least come close) every week.

Different story when injuries hit, but as yet we haven't exactly been crippled by them.

The Leeds game the team played to the best of their ability - since then they haven't reached 25% of that in most games.

If the players don't try on a weekend, then what's the point turning up in the week to train?

It is, and has always been, a case of the harder you practise, the better you play in general. In any sport.

What the players are doing through the week is reflected on game day - and it just wasn't good enough.

Someone mentioned Karl Harrison earlier in the thread. I think he would do a tremendous job, overdue a return to SL.

Jimmy Lowes anyone?
