Whats the alternative ? attract a big name coach , more than likely fail and have a slightly larger debt ? I can definitely think of more big named coaches that have gone on to fail at new clubs than ones that have gone on to succeed , they have only become big names because they where in a position like KP is now and given a chance to succeed

Think of Millward (wigan)
Noble (Wigan)
Monie 2nd spell
Tony Smith (Wire)
(many Saints Coaches)
The ones that mainly succeeded where ones who didn't have a big name rep to start with , like Noble at Bradford , Milward at Saints, Brian Smith , Brian mclellan, Wane . KP could quite easily go on to be one of these , you don't see many who go on to be successful at future clubs , its more about getting in at the right time , buy in from players , camradery , being involved with the whole setup , lack of ego and having the respect of the players . I cant see any reason you would pick a big name over KP , its no guarantee that it will bring results , bring in Wayne Bennet and there is no guarantee.

Indeed, when I have watched Sammut play v Leigh over the years, he doesn't do that much. There is a reason why he has not played in the Super league since 2014.

There isn't an alternative. DB has placed his final chips. Top 4 will have to be gained with whats in place. But your point was building on the current squad using KP. My point was there won't be the existing squad left, if they don't make top 4.

If DB is not prepared to plug the gap, a new coach isn't priority. Is it?

I'd just give the job to Keiron for the rest of the season. But ANNOUNCE it, not just let him carry on, because nobody DB rates, wants the job.

Fair comment Budge.

Agree

Nobody wants it as they will be under KC get rid of him and coaches will come

I feel theres more to it than that monty to be honest

No coach in their right mind would take a 3 year contract knowing it’s not worth the the paper it’s written on. Unfortunately Derek has already stated that he’s gone if we don’t make top 4. The picture Derek has painted (probably unintentionally) In effect they could be out of a job in August if we don’t make the playoffs and the club can’t afford the contracts Derek has committed the club to.
Which quality coach in their right mind would be “interested” in that?

Boring, not even worth a reply,but you have one.

Maybe one currently not in a coaching role and as such not much to lose

Your boring go have a drink and dish some warnings out
