Can I share the thoughts and prayers to EOC at having to travel on the M62 a few times a week. He battled that minor inconvenience with dignity.

The weird thing about that is how he seemingly had little issue with working for a club in the South of France...

I'm no expert on geography, but I believe Perpignan is considerably further away than Lancashire

Presuming he didn't have to drive there from his home in England each day though..........

I think the fact we trained in the evenings is probably why it's so difficult. So if he's a young family, he's probably setting off just while they're finishing school, then getting home when they're in bed. Those years are precious and as much as we all demand loyalty, at the end of the day rugby should always come second. You don't get that time back.

I'm guessing with the increased budget and chance to get the accolade of taking us back to SL Noble will be our man.
Plus him & Greenwood did the same with half EOC's budget last year.

Noble dosent want it

Eccles or Watson would be my preferred options. Watson did a great job with a Salford side who had no right playing in Finals, but he got the best out of those players, which is what we need. Granted, it didn't work out at Huddersfield but that team was doomed from the off. Eccles, I guess is the exact same as to what I just said about Watson. However, his situation is dependent on what happens off the field at London.

Both coaches got their teams to punch above their weight.

Not saying anything is in it at all, but I wonder if Simon Grix would be interested?

Tony Smith brought him over here to Hull, but it went belly up shortly after.

Not that impressed with Grix.

Yeah Grix would be underwhelming to say the least.

Of all the names being mentioned so far not many are impressing me, Watson I don’t have a good vibe about, and if he had a SL offer he’d be off like a shot.
Dunning, been there done that.
Henderson, York’s form under him last season speaks for itself.
Mike Eccles might be a good shout but would he want to up sticks 200 miles north?
If I had my choice and money no object I would try and tempt Mr Happy, Brian Mac back to the club.
Surely he must be sick of the sunshine down under by now
