We don't need a very experienced coach, we need a good coach. Purtill's CV is probably as good as anyone who would want to come to be honest.

I think this squad needs all the game time it can get at present.

Purtills CV is good, as an assistant coach.

I think we all know that our new HC is going to be 1 out of 2. Both whose first initial is K.
The advertisement I personally is DB giving himself a get out of jail card.

Instead of drawing up a list of 5 class coaches and going all out for them he's advertising the position. Personally I'd rather get knocked back from real heavyweight coaches and say we tried instead of drawing an app from Wigan St Judes 2nd XIII coach.
By advertising the position DB gets to come out and say that no big names wanted the job but the people who applied weren't good enough so instead we've decided to go with K? He's not going to want to put more money in on getting someone proven with an already inflated wage bill.

Think about it.

But who are these heavyweights? Smith would be a gamble given he seems disillusioned with the game. May as well stick with Purtill as get Anderson in. Kear's only just taken a role. Who else is there?

Anyone but Cunningham for me.

Smith is a heavyweight.
Daniel Anderson who was at Saints? Yes he's in dodgy water but so what, outstanding coach.
Brian McLennan?
Tony Iro?
Matthew Elliot?

All proven.

Never considered Tony Iro, good call, great player and a hard man who I should imagine if he said its Tuesday then believe it and he would command respect because of his pedegree and best of all he has proven coaching abillity and also his Leigh Heritage Number and Tie.

Charlie,

You know what my thoughts were going into the game last Sunday, i.e. I thought we'd (Fev) would lose by 10-12. Having said that as I said to Frank I was disappointed to be behind at half time. I again thought we were the better side in the second half as well, tho I then thought we had lost when Hansen went through only to be pulled back.

All the same i think this is a bit of a bold statement, but happy to be the underdogs at the moment.

But here is some food for thought, we (Fev), now have the following games left against the other teams likely to finish in the top 6 (in no particular order):
Toronto Home & Away
Toulouse Away
Leigh Home
London Home
Halifax Away & Blackpool

Assuming that we can win a couple of those (obviously I have written Blackpool off already) and that we win our remaining fixtures against the other sides that are likely to be in the bottom six. Then this will give Fev a 17 wins 6 losses record, This doesn't guarantee the top 4, but would have been good enough in all the years the middle 8s have been running.

I'm just glad your tipping against us. LOL

Enjoy Sunday at Fax (I know you will) and hope to see you a couple of times in May.

PS I still think that Leigh will make a big impact in the middle 8 come the end of the season.

Robin when you say Owner, I presume you mean Leigh Centurions?As I don't have an Owner .I do concede you deserved to win on Sunday, even if it was via a Leyther,good luck with the rest of the season,see ya In the top house for a couple of Yorkies in gravy.

Well the camera doesn't lie I suppose could have sworn he gave a penalty but hey ho
