He will no a damn site more than most of his vocal critics

I'm putting myself in the firing line here but he strikes me as a no nonsense RL
Manager who is set on doing a job.

Not a Cockney wide boy.

You could probably get away with it until they found out they'd be living in Bradford.

Odsal and the training facilities at Tong are both surprisingly accessible by road so they wouldn't have to live in Bradford. HTH ya great spacker.

Disagree.

When Nobby took over after the disastrous Millward period, Wigan were in freefall and looked certs to be relegated. He kept them up and in his last season they failed to make the Grand Final by millimetres, the distance by which they were tackled short of what would have been the winning try. Saints' luck had held, as always.

I'd have Nobby back in a heartbeat but it ain't gonna happen.

Oh yes I seem to recall something about that. Wasn't that the season when wigan managed to squeeze the world's most expensive prop into their salary cap midseason and Kris Radlinski returned to play for nothing? Worked out well for Bradford that. We lost Nobby, Fielden and that was the start of the Mcnamara era. It all started going down hill from there...

I guess we won't be getting drip fed news from these guys, in fairness it might be best if we sit tight and let them get on with it.
If it's an actual press conference on Friday and not just a statement being put out, then maybe they'll announce the player signings in one huge bunch then (in addition to the coach etc.).

Ian Milward not Nobby.

Lowe definitely said a press conference on Friday when he was on the radio last night pal.

Anyone else see the position with Chisholm strange? He doesn't seem to be jumping on a plane to come back and meet new owners but if he has signed for someone else, with 2 weeks to start of season you would have thought they would have wanted him back asap. I hope we get good news on him but I can't see it

I hope he returns soon as we don't have a scrum half, and you know
How hard they are to find!

Might be Joe Keyes or Oscar Thomas next year.

I would imagine because the club will be paid to do so-given that the new regime have no season ticket money, no merchandise money and outgoings for staff and to restock offices/shop etc to find they would welcome the cash!

To be fair in the worst case scenario, if Chisholm doesn't come back for whatever reason, Keyes is not a bad replacement. We could do much worse! Plus he kicks!

Interesting article with Rohan. Specifically "After talking to Andrew and Graham, it still wasn't clear on which direction the club would be taken in. They wouldn't tell me what the job would have entailed and they still hadn't decided whether we were going to be full time or part time."

Struggle to understand how that wasn't decided at a bidding stage let alone on the 4 day long plane journey to the UK...

Could it be they didnt want Rohan from the start?, so didn't make clear the plans going forward. If rumours are correct our new coach is from NZ,he wouldn't fly to UK without knowing the plan.
