IMO we now need to get behing KP and PA, both local experienced lads who are both ex players, Now is the time get behind the team and give full support.

John Kear 'had' Batley punching above their weight Tom, he's Head Coach at Bradford now.

Not been there for a couple of seasons now.......

Went to Wakey, now at Bratfurt!

I agree mostly with this , Alex the Best Coach I have ever seen, and always his own man , I spoke today with Andy Greg, he said a Coach needs to be in full control, I asked him about his time at Salford as Coach , he said John Wilkinson would come to him and ask What is the Team today Andy?But otherwise never got involved.

I said sometime last week I’d be on the phone to the lad who coached PNG in the World Cup they played some good stuff, at the time I didn’t know his name but a quick Google tells me it Michael Marum

That's the way mate

Bobbie Goulding ?

What type of coach do you feel this squad of player need?

He may well have showed an early expression of interest. As I am sure many more will also prove to do in the coming days. That is all.

Jon Sharp?

Thanks Derek for listening!!!

I have already stated that Millward would be my preferred option, especially when he turned the 'returning' Mickey Higham into the player he was / still is !!

A friend of mine in Huddersfield says it has already been advertised in their local rag that Paul Anderson has been named already !

Unfortunately, it would have to be Cunningham, but at 50/1, Millward would be a really interesting punt !!

I make no apologies for posting almost an identical post on the Challenge Cup thread because I feel we have a great chance to turn this season around.
The announcement of MH coming out of retirement has given DB a great opportunity to turn the season around and get feet back on the terraces very quickly IF he brings the right coach on board. A quick read of the this thread and others where a new coach is mentioned or debated shows one clear message. Don’t make it KC Derek !

If K.C. is to be the next coach, then surely Derek should be advertising for a new Director of Rugby not coach !!!

My bet is the "Marwan" effect I suspect Ian Watson will be brought in, think about it.
Proven S/L coach, Marwan's old coach and links with Leigh (2008 - 2009)

Just a thought

Zulu I have mentioned Watson in a previous post and agree with everything that you say. However, I dont see Cunningham as a long term fixture at Leigh. Great player but no coaching skills. So why not take the gamble and approach. Shaun Edwards a man that has exprerience(vast) in both codes. Commands respect and has contacts throughout both codes of Rugby
