| Quote: Vancouver Leyther "To be fair they are all great coaches but the key is we need a coaching change before 2019 (well before). We are really up against it the next 3 weeks, especially if we turn out the same team, in the same positions, with the same tactics.
Is Tony Smith available ? Some don’t like him But he is a proven coach who would not allow KC to interfere (if indeed he is and he stays). This squad should be top of this league and be good enough to get through the 8s. Both look impossible right now.'"
VL, Tony Smith has fell out with the game. He has good reason to do so. We have a Sport that carries no leader,along with a SL that governs whats below with only their interest at heart.
Do I think for one minute the list of coaches I posted will ever appear on these shores. Not without big bucks. This squad needs big bucks.

Yes I saw his vision at Wire tonight.. Or was that jet lag?

Im guessing you were "sounding me out" as im a new name....
there`s lots of folks calling for heads to roll but nobody offering any alternatives, just my 10p worth, I think Jukes is over his head and if Cunningham wasn`t good enough to coach his own team, why is he good enough for us ?
I also think we need someone to replace Mickey bossing the team on the pitch, its no good if we start losing just "sticking to the game plan" and carrying on losing....

Possibly you should put your name forward given the obvious experience you have.
The vpn by the way isn't hiding your id..

Inappropriate. Another new user ridiculed, insulted and embarrassed. Well Done! You tear people down so you can feel better, is that how the world works for you?
Owd number 10, don't ever feel you need to explain yourself to anyone on a forum, especially this neanderthal. A forum is designed for ideas and views to be discussed and exchanged with respect for those different thoughts. No right, no wrong, just thoughts.
Sad!

| LONG way to go yet.....bored of NEGATIVE crap by 'so called' supporters, I mean 'fair weather fans'. 3 games played. LOST to Toronto, not a shock, but the margin of defeat was a surprise. We stuffed Batley in our next game. Then last week, lost by 2 points to Barrow, who drew with Toronto. Anyway, like I typed, 3 GAMES PLAYED.
p.s. Centurino.....had a few beers ? It's his/hers 1st ever post, and he/she mentions RELEGATED. Either a drama queen or a troll, YOU DECIDE. No need to get personal, I didn't did I, you are just 'reading between the lines'. Calm down (no name calling from me) did you notice luv ?

if thats not getting personal its damn close....
i live in Leigh, i pay my money and support Leigh,
i am neither a drama queen nor a troll,
i just posed what i consider a relevant question that for some reason you seem to have taken offence at without actually offering an answer to.
If the original post strikes you as negative then i assure you it was not intended as such, i was just wondering what/who the solution could be given all the calls for sackings and as Derek has been reported giving a 2 match deadline to "turn things around"
thanks for making my first time joining in with the forum such "fun"

In the next 3 weeks our season could be looking dodgy.'"
I don't think an Aussie is the answer Charlie. I was merely showing whats available that we would never get, without serious investment. The English coaching side of things seems to be sown up at present, although my next bet is on McNamara before Jukes.

It was just an observation about Aussies and your list.Myself I'm not sure about replacement Coaches,it's natural to discuss the Topic , but shouldn't we wait till we have to replace them?Again my view is neither Jukesy who is a really nice guy,but is in over his head at Coaching, or KC who has shown at Saints isn't up to the Job are the blokes we require to get us into SL.
I've got a feeling we may wait till it's to late,HKR seem to be struggling to cope with SL standards at the moment, but if we played the current bottom 4 in SL at present the result on present form would be Carnage.Money doesn't buy class players, it helps but look at some of our overseas investments, ie Glenn Stewart.There is time for the current squad to get things right, but slowly the games will pass,we NEED wins against Toulouse, Fev, and Fax,to get the run going, make the players feel confident, hopefully the Coaches as well,and get the happy feeling back with the Fans, because a few more losses will see gates reduce.

| Leigh will win tomorrow but I don't think it will stop some of the fans wanting N.J & K.Cs heads on a plate,as the momentum gathers of Non BeLEIGHvers some fans just follow others without any real reason.
Look at the facts, N.J. takes on the role when P.R. leaves and gets us promoted into Super League, we finish second from bottom and loose in the million pound game. Apart from that last game we had some great results, I don't think any coach would have done any better with what he had to work with.
This season we start with a completely new team, ok we loose to Toronto and Barrow, that doesn't warrant the sack,I'm confident that af

No, I haven't read Jukesys comments after the Barrow, because I haven't seen them,simple as,it wasn't long ago when the Club was very upfront about news and what was occurring at the Club, at the moment we seem to be going back to the days of keeping Schtum.

| Salford took a massive gamble with Watson in my humble opinion. Then got him the right man to lead him in Sheens. Now Watson is proving to be a successful coach with not much funding. So Aussies aren't always the answer but as in when Basil came across. A virtual unknown then that appointment couldn't have been faulted. Out of interest Peter. How long are you willing to wait for this to be turned around before things have got to change ? No malice intended but a genuine question
