yeah without point 3 I think I would be quite happy to see all that....

a touch harsh to sack Briers but i think its his last year anyway without doubt now.

Quote: Marto "I think some of you are missing the major problem area, and that's the players.

there needs to be a cull of the dead wood and under achievers and until that happens the club will never achieve anything, you could have Wayne Bennett coaching and they'd still be crap.[/quote]

No they wouldn't.

Quote: magic piano "1. Sack James Lowes with immediate effect.

2. Appoint Ellery Hanley as Footballing Director with remit to sort out the club from top to bottom instilling professionalism on & off the pitch.

3. Appoint Jon Sharp as 1st Team Coach.

4. Retain Nigel Wright as Reserve Coach, John Bastin as Head of Youth Development & bring in Paul Anderson & Iestyn Harris as Assistant Coaches.

5. Drop Lee Briers, Michael Monaghan, Matt King, Paul Rauhihi, Ben Harrison & Vinnie Anderson from the starting lineup for the Leeds game. Sack first 3 from the club.

6. Start with 1-13 next Sunday of Hicks, Penny, Johnson, Gleeson, Riley, Bridge, Grix, Morley, Higham, Wood, L Anderson, Mitchell, Clarke. bench of best 4 performers in training through week.

7. Offer free entry to all who can prove they attended Wakefield game. Drop other ticket prices by £5 across the board for Leeds game but make game all ticket.'"


Grix and Bridge in the halfs and Jon Sharp???
Not for me.... I agree with most your points but not those..

Quote: Lowes Out Hanley In "Surely it would be Ellery's decisons on all points after point 2.

Im sure the first person he would bin off is Briers. IMO we should pay his contract up and get rid now.

As for sacking Monaghan and King thats just silly talk. Lets see what they do with a proper coach in place.'"


Agreed 100%

The only changes i would make would be to get rid of Lowes and Halmshaw, bring in someone with 1st class experience. I would like to see how Wright goes as an assistant, he is very highly regarded by most in the business.

Wasn't Lowes highly regarded when he was an assistant...?

If, and it's a big if, they did get Hanley in, I can't see that he'd want Briers to work in a team of his - wasn't there a bit of standoffishness when the two met out in France when Hanley was a guest of Simon Moran? Second hand info from someone who was sat drinking with them, but I heard that Hanley was unimpressed with Briers behaviour. Mind you, he was probably the only sober Englishman in the centre de ville at that point in time so can't imagine El got a great deal of sense out of anyone...

Hanley = True Rugby League legend.

Briers = Rugby League legend (But only in his own head)

And there lies why there may have been a mutual dislike??... icon_lol.gif

One was sober, relaxed, restrained and calm. The other was boozed up, loud and in his face. On particular night in question. Chalk and cheese.

Plenty of people on here were praising him to the skies when we went on a great run shortly after he arrived, IIRC.

I must admit, my own personal dislike of Briers stems from the fact the guy is so far up his own backside with his own importance, and yet he is actually a very average player.

Oh, so he has won many a game for the Wire, his followers will claim....Yes, well his pi$$poor defence has cost us just as many... icon_cool.gif

Once more last night, I spent most of the time in complete shock that a fellow who quite simply has no clue how to tackle, can somehow make it in the world of Rugby League... icon_eek.gif

To be fair, when his stats came up last night, after about 60 mins, he had made 11 tackles, don't know what his finally tally was.

Briers is like marmite, rarely has a player divided opinion amongst their own fans. I think a lot of this comes from alleged past incidents, some of which will no doubt be true and others BS.

I can never accept that he doesn't care about the club and hasn't given his all throughout his time - something which deserves respect even if everything he's done hasn't come off.

Yes he was, but i'm not doubting his skills to be an assistant, it's his head coach qualities that i'm concerned about, not every great assistant makes a top quality head coach ala Brian Kidd in football.

I do have concerns about Lowes's maturity and ability now though after seeing recent interviews and how he has allegedly reacted with Wakey fans yesterday and Salford fans in the past. I do not want this man anywhere near our club if the rumours are true

I cannot figure out why people want Hanley so much as our next head coach, when was the last time he coached at the highest level? This concerns me.

Director Of Rugby with an inexperienced head coach maybe a possibility if we go down the Hanley route.

Jimmy needs to stick by his guns and drop the under performers.

team 1. Hicks 2. Riley 3. Gleeson 4. Grix 5. Penny 6. Bridge 7. Monas 8. Moz 9. Higham 10. Rau 11. Harrison 12. Mitchell 13. Clarke 14. Wood 15. Blythe 16. Picks 17. Landerson

Would the board stay away from team selection and let him kick start the team with youthful enthusiasm. The crowd would get behind him if dealt with what most of us can clearly see happening, too many 'coasting' on big contracts. One thing bradford had in the lowes era was a level contract system, no stars-one team....c'mon jimmy take charge.
