Anyone considered that if money's tight they may make Leon player/assistant coach with Lowe taking on head coaches role and mentoring Leon?. Saves a big wage straight off and it's not like he hasn't got a bit experience

So its confirmed with the statement that Chalmers and Smith disagreed on a number of matters. Wonder if that is good or bad for you?

There are some great stories of Lowe as a coach. They're all from the 80s. I have no doubt whatsoever about him instilling a proper ethic. It's my one ray of hope in this mess. But coaching? Hmm.

Not long since people on here were demanding that Rohan be given the keys to the city. Beware! Should he get the hump, he might lock you all in.

Sounding more & more likely Henry is the preferred choice.

Henry is my all time favourite bulls player so don't want that memory tarnished the same way as Jimmys.

vbfg would be fine with this. He never goes anywhere anyway.

If you want to talk about yourself in the third person you know where the Leigh board is.

"new proven and experienced coach" Quote from Sky Sports. I can see a bigger name being the next coach. The new coach will have massive responsibility's from day one and for an extended period.

Henry Paul? Utterly unproven. If we go down the great ex player route again it won't work.

Lowe hasn't coached in decades. His health isn't great either. I don't expect him to be in the UK for long anyway.

It'll be Harrison or someone who's done a bit of coaching in the championship.

If it's a big name I'll be amazed.

Thats a decent shout actually, but I suspect they'll already have someone in mind and I think it might be someone with more experience than Anderson judging from the release, like a Harrison. I'm happy that it sounds like it's not going to be a very recent ex player with no coaching experience.

And to answer Bullseye, no, I'm not surprised really. And at least this is now discussing the fortunes of our club rather than will we have a club! Which in itself is a step forward.

My shout is Justin Morgan. He was in the NZ set up. Dunno what domestic gig he has.

I was going to suggest Willie Poching. An assistant for a while, was in the NZ set up in 4 Nations and is currently assistant at Salford. NZ/Salford link.

I was very surprised. And livid.

Still am.

Dicks.

Naylor - Anderson - Harrison - Morrison - Cummins - Macnamara all classed as experienced keep away from Morgan house/car packages don't come cheap. All those listed would do a job.

Poching is unproven and would send wrong signals.

Morgan is a bit meh. What's he done lately?

I'm sorry Rohan's gone but sadly not surprised. I suspect he was too expensive since our new owners aren't wealthy men.

Number 2 at the New Zealand Warriors.
