It is essential that the coach is full time, as well as the first team there is the new apprentice scheme thats running, plus the 18's thats in the pipeline in conjunction with the college, the new coach will be a full time appointment the BOD have already stated that.

Malcolm Alker would be just about as bad as it could get!

do you not think Duffy and Littler will have enough on there plates as players without first team coaching responsibilities?.

If they do appoint a player coach - something I do not think they will - then someone inexperienced will need a guiding hand behind them and that would mean another salary so I think it's a non goer TBH.
And lets be honest Keith what 'coaching' did AJM do except for five minutes before the game plus unless Duffs and Stu have enrolled on a level 3 course they won't be considered, and have they applied?

Murp was a one off.. World class player and brill motivater we will never see the likes of a player
like Murphy again at Leigh in my opinion in our lifetime

Well Trevor Barton is now friends with Paul Terzis on Facebook so there you go its official welcome back Turk

What as though his coaching methods were out of date 10 years ago great player great motivator and in his first spell a great coach.


Maybe get Woody and Des back too come on Ian its 2011 not 1981 we want to look forward not back.

Fred its bedtime get your carer to slip your sleepin tabs in yer horlicks so that you can dream of years gone by Murphy was the greatest halfback ever in World Rugby and the greatest thing ever to happen to Leigh RLFC back in the day .. BBC 2 Floodlight trophy wins.. Champions Div 1 with a all uk team
and best of all 1971 beating the hottest favourites ever Leeds to win 24-7 at Wembley not seen any other coaches do owt like that at Leigh in my lifetime ..
MURPHY was the Greatest ever and his record at Leigh over the years will never be repeated
thats unless Mr Ainscough pumps several millions into the club for world class players then we might stand a chance of doing what Murph did for Leigh............
Anyway my choice of coachin set up would be Mac from Swinton and Rowley with Calland a close second but ive a feeling Pengy and Rowls are gonna get the nod !!!!!!!!!!

Fred i think you will find that you are wrong about Turks coaching methods an ex player told me that several years after he left Leigh to play in SL a well known coach introduced Turks methods as the new thing from Aus so it was more a case of Turk the inovator. I would give him the job tomorrow

I was on about Murph not Terk, some coaches are today using techniques Terk used back in 2002

Ian it's not me thats dreaming of the 'good old days' I live in the world of today not yesterday history is fine but it pays no bills or wins games today.

Malcolm Alker or Phil Veivers? Well i know who a few people who may stop going if Alker gets it, not a very nice man is Malc.

Thought Penky had signed a contract with Fax.

What are you SMOKIN? It says Pengy as in Pendlebury , not Penky, keep up OWD UN.

Must clean my specs.

Fancy you spotting a deliberate mistake. Better take another tablet mate.

Well the rumour going around the press benches at full time at todays International game at the LSV was that one of the two coaches on show was the new Leigh boss.

Also that Bobbie Goulding was about to resign as the French coach.

But as I don't 'do' rumours work it out yourselves
