If all potential coaches have to do these badges (as they do in football too), will they all not be clones doing the same things? Surely being a good coach is about doing something a bit different to all the others, or thinking about tictacs in a different way. Never understood this.

Mines a pint... 'Hi-Ho Silver Lining' Headingley 05th October 2014.:1392.gif



Wasn't at last nights meeting so I'm presuming the talk was of employing a unqualified coach.
If you have ambitions to be a coach then you will have got the badges required.
If we are appointing coaches without the required credentials then we are going down the wrong track IMO, Unless thats what all successful clubs do.

LIVING THE DREAM ALL THE WAY TO THE SUPER LEAGUE PLAY-OFFS! ''All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them'':Black Backgrounds/Miss%20Piggy.gif



Quote: DETROITSOUL "Well said
Absolutely spot on!

For some reason some people on here choose to talk bull5hit with regards Paul. Paul helped to build the squad of the last 2 years and has played a pivotal role in signing class players such as Beswick this season.

He's a leyther through and through, given many years top class service to Leigh yet people appear to have a vendetta against him, why = God only knows!!

Why, did Alex Ferguson have coaching badges when he started, or Brian Clough, or Bobby Robson? (not sure but I think not). Did Alex Murphy?

If they was starting now they would have.
Sure I've read Ferguson is a big fan of it (certainly he's done speeches to various coaching courses) so if it was in then I'm certain he'd have done them.

If the sport places importance on them (and from a legal point I can see the reasoning in this day and age) then we should be employing people who have them IMO.

vendetta seems a bit strong tipster.he wasnt a success as coach.
he worked with Basil who is said to have had an input into the next choice so, presumably, he didnt reccommend him.
he apparently has a 2,3 or 4 year contract, dependant on which post you read on here, at a time we are making people redundant ,or short paying them.
we are told some applicants for the job withdrew when they heard what money was on offer.does that mean we are over committed on the money we are paying the existing coaching staff, cant afford to pay them off and that has cost us the coach we really wanted.
This is nothing personal against anyone its just another one of those debatable areas within the club that leads to rumour, frustration and debate.
not having a manager/coach in place now is not ideal lets hope the applications to ukba are in order and we move on

Would you rather fly on a plane thats been maintained by a qualified mechanic who has done all the studying on how to repair things, looked at problem solving and is confident in what he does because he knows he had to work hard to get his Mechanic certificate and its recognised worldwide.

Or would you rather fly on a plane thats maintained by a ex captain who is now a mechanic after retireing, no qualifications as didn't have the time to do the course, but says he knows the aircraft inside out as he flew them for years icon_wink.gif

I find it hard to believe that Blackmoor has no coaching qualifications as he was voted Coach of the year in NZ in 2010 and coached the Auckland Vulcans to the Grand Final of the NSW cup (one of the leagues below (and a feeder league to) the NRL).

He's never been coach he was caretaker after a disastrous reign under Kelly. Incidentally last coach Basil picked was Darren Shaw

It would seem that the English RFL requires more advanced coaching 'badges' than Australia and New Zealand. Hence our domination of those two nations, at international level, this past 20 years! icon_wink.gif

kcab sfrawdder Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg

why, was he a bad coach (apart from 'talking weird' in post match interviews) Think Whitehaven fans would disagree.
