Last thing we need is a change of coach again. Unless he has fallen out with somebody at the club I don't see it, EOC seems pretty committed to the club and players. I think if we miss the cut for SL for 2026 and there are offers flying about it might be a more realistic time for him to consider his options.

Be disappointed if he goes. Done a good job this season. Yes he should have had second and have better discipline and have better game management, but those things are fixable. We have stability and improving every year.

Usually suspects on social media mouthing off because we didn't beat two full time teams. There's not a plethora of outstanding coaches available.

Salford will need a new head coach from 2026 but I don’t think he’d be tempted to go there but his former club Wigan are wanting to replace back room staff and that temptation maybe too much to resist.
Hope none of it comes off as I think he talks a lot of sense and has good people skills with the players.

Gone, Statement from Bulls that he's got an opportunity at a full time super league club.

Wowsers, that escalated quickly...

Ah well. He did a decent job but didn't improve us massively in comparison to Nobby and Lee Greenwood.

We finished in exactly the same position as last year with a better squad
Our Defence improved and that's probably why he got the Saints defence coach job.
Our discipline wasn't great all season and EOC didn't seem to think this was an issue in post match interviews.

Positives are that our job is probably one of the most wanted in the Championship.

Thoughts about the next coach, then?

Who is available?

I’m not really sure to be honest. It’s a more appealing job now than when EOC applied for it.

Must be one of the most attractive jobs going. With that squad we should be winning silverware next year minimum.

Maybe someone like Ian Watson might fancy it.

Eccles from London?

What is Tony Smith up to these days?

Will be another young coach

Glad EOC is gone massively under achieved this year.
Double the spend with exactly the same result.
Whoever we take on needs to be able to create a winning culture.
Also be mid table SL standard imho

That aged well. Well I'm disappointed, thought he was invested in trying to get this side to the top of the Championship.
