Two people I have thought about for the coaching appt both with a few years as assistants but they have to branch out on their own at some point is Lee Briers and Sean Long, Mr B should be putting a lot of effort in a coaching appt but it goes against his remit to have ex-players in this position, is he ever going to learn he needs to look further afield, this strategy has not worked.

Serious doubt Briers will come as coach, maybe another position. his mate at dire has some coaching experience.and will be out or work shortly.how much input have they had this year
Long has no experience, personally would not have him at the club.
How about John Kear or, if we are cashed up, Ellery Hanley
Usual suspects Chester Purtill Lam Mcdermott Littler Mcavoy Coleman
Anyone know the oz market who might be free n willing

Sean Long no coaching experience?
How about Salford, Samoa, St Helens, Hatlequins - albeit Rugby Unuon - now at Leeds Rhinos and has also been appointed as The French assistant coach for the World Cup , all since retiring from playing in 2011.
It does seem like you are struggling to come up with any likely candidates judging by the list you have put together, go on then I will put you on the spot what is your 1,2, 3, from your list?

The feeling seemed to be that we did not want a rookie coach.Has Long been a head coach anywhere?
Your original post is a bit confusing do we have to have an explayer or not?
Its probably another RL failure.Didnt David Waite set up a coach school to set up career paths for suitable candidates.Something else gone by the way.
DB said that he had someone lined up as director of rugby. Does the fact no one has yet been appointed mean they are still in a job, or has DB changed his mind.
We need someone to galvanise the club,stand up to any attempted interference from the board room with a staff support and organization to have a similar effect on the town, increase game participation and support..
That calls for some cv.My list was just some names I could think of who had been coaches but possibly are available are out of work or will be soon.
I am hoping DB has done his research as to what value or input any assistant coaches may be having if we cannot get an experienced man to come.Was Tim Sheens ever actually approached I am not suggesting him but someone of that standing with younger more innovative help..
To answer your question Hanley Kear Henderson.

| Just been told Lewis Bienek has been released by Cas , he didn’t get much of a chance to show what he can do at Cas , but when he was at Leigh I thought he did very well, he’s a young hungry forward , maybe worth giving a chance to next season .

Definitely the type of player we should be looking at recruiting for next season. Also the likes of Olly Ashall-Bott, Will Dagger, Nathan Roebuck, Chris Hankinson, Jack Logan, Josh Eaves and Eribe Doro are without contracts next season.
All young players with potential who would thrive with the opportunity of regular first team rugby IMO.

All decent young players , it all now depends on the New Coach , whoever he may be , I will chuck in a name for the Director of Rugby , Ian Blease currently at Salford .

| Seems Michael Maguires future as Head Coach of West Tiger's could be up in the air.
I have heard all sorts of rumours this season regarding the Head Coach job at Leigh from Henderson approached & doesn't want it to Shaun Wane offered £250K to see the season out around time that Duffy left).
Bearing in mind I have absolutely zero connections inside the club & don't know how true or untrue any of the above was, I would prefer the club to go for a Maguire, or Henderson or Briers & hopefully no Ex Leigh players or coaches.

Somebody is making the calls on who to keep. Pretty sure it’s none of the above.
