Wayne Bennett had zero success as a coach once. You’ve come out with a lot of negatives. Again I ask you for one positive - if not Sam then who?

People took issue with my OP. They argued with me and now we're here. People aren't allowed to have negative opinions here is the crux of the matter. Its only when the majority take their head out of the sand are the critical posters allowed to have their say.

You Bet

Is there any coach currently in SL with any GF success to their name? Smith is the only one I think. Bar a few there’s also very little first team coaching experience amongst the current SL headcoaches.

To put it politely, you don't sound like a supporter, you sound like someone almost hoping for failure, simply so you can come on here and say you told us so.

You provide zero alternatives, you just provide obvious negatives.

To be honest, for your own mental health, you're probably better advised to find another team or sport to follow, because your constant negativity won't be doing you any good in the long run.

How is pulling a name out of my backside (much like Middleton and co. Have done here), that will forever remain an unfulfilled notion, a positive? I refuse to. Again, its not my job. I'm not paid to come up with any kind of solution. I give my opinion as a fan on what the club ACTUALLY do. The problem here is the confidence in the club to get anything correct has been eroded away for a decade. They have consistently got it wrong every step of the way, so why on earth the confidence from anyone now? Its just blind faith and I don't subscribe to that.

Where's the reason to believe? What have the club done in the past 10 years, that has given you this faith in the club, board, players, coach, to succeed? To get it right? You can't argue with me that there is any. You were still defending Powell 5 games ago, despite your efforts to deny it. So you're clearly going to be content with whatever drivel comes our way. My mood is neither here nor there just as those believers are also in reality not actually sitting in the clouds. All i see it as is, you guys are still at the point of expecting we might get it right this time, and I'm past it. And will watch on as such until proven wrong.

Just reading through the last few pages and having a little chuckle to myself.
I will admit Steve McNamara was my no1 choice as mentioned previously.
I will back Burgess and hopefully he will be a success.
What makes me smile the fans who are dishing the appointment back at the beginning of this thread were backing Michael Monaghan.
Say no more.

Like I said, you aren't a supporter. You have given up, which is fair enough - You just spout negativity and expect failure, which is a desperately sad mindset over something relatively trivial like following a sports team.

The whole essence of supporting a team is to follow through thick and thin and to give support even when it seems hopeless.

Your whining does make you come across like an entitled child.

We don't need a coach who has won with somebody else, we need a coach that will win with us. Nobody can know whether any appointment is good or bad until we can look back retrospectively and assess the squad performances. This feels like a huge freshen up from what we have been through recently. Powells Wire was far too easy to work out and play against, let's hope that the new regime will be much better.
