Yes i know you added IM to the list, you need to read even slower. I said i wasn't sure about IM, That's why i suggested that it should be Baloo. Now don't keep posting with that crap and confusing folk,it would be much easier to say what you really mean sometimes. The names i initially mentioned were SL coaches that KP was assistant to,so i would forget about Basil.

So C'mon , say what you mean. Who is the No.1 target? Who are you thinking/hoping it is?

Salford fan in peace.
Gotta say I like DB’s comments today and nice to hear he is trying to look after Jukes post Rugby bu offering him a job. We live in the moment and forget about people post rugby. You only have to look at our captain mal alker to see how it can all go wrong. Be proud of your club and owner in acting in a dignified way.

Good luck for the rest of the season and hope u guys do well, but your not having Watto he’s a best coach for quite a while so imagine we would put up quite a fight as can see him having a bright future.

Who did KP first coach under at Saints?

Given their time together at St.Helens. It will be interesting how Purtill's relationship with Cunningham materialises as a Head Coach and Director of Rugby over the coming weeks.

TBF - Was he the actual assistant coach to IM? TBH i'm not sure,either way, I wouldn't personally have IM for the head coach job at Leigh.

How many "caretaker" coaches, or those who have been promoted from within have gone on to keep the job, in any sport you care to think of?
.There are not to many, best I can think of was many nany years ago being Bob Paisley at Liverpool.

If our number 1 target is Watson we basically say our ambition is to get promoted and then just remain in Super League. In answer to an earlier comment about who could come in and wouldn’t accept DB interference. Tony Smith. He’s the only coach I see hard enough to manage this team and some backbone. Like or loathe him. He gets the job done. He’s my number one choice.

DB won't get a top coach because he won't be able to manipulate him, and a top coach won't put up with DB. Unfortunately, DB may have the finances but his ego is also the problem. A club should be about the team and the coach. Ours is all about the owner. We have already lost 3 games and can't afford to lose anymore. This needs sorting very quickly before a top 4 spot is out of our reach. We have Fev, Fax and London within the next 5 games. If we don't win those 3 games then we can forget about Middle 8s.

A top/bottom coach won't resolve the half back situation. People keep having a pop at Reynolds and the answer they came up with was Mortimer at 6. Thats now a proven dire option. 7 at the moment isn't doing a thing.

We need a combo half back pairing. The only way thats going get sorted is with further investment. 5 hookers is just not economically viable given the size of the squad. Something has to give. But certainly not an overnight fix.

Atomic , Hutchy is the biggest scrum half I have ever seen, and he doest take the line on like he should, neither does Reynolds, ,leaving us with a blunt attack, hopefully a new guy will come in tell Derek to zip it,and get on with sorting the team out,before its to late.Most Clubs have an Owner, but you never hear about them, we have Derek.

Wev'e been spoiled with Riddy. He could pair up with any player and make them look good. Cos they understood each other.even Travis Burns looked good when fit with Riddy Jamie Ellis was outstanding with Riddy. Then of coursre Ryan and Riddy Drinkwater Reynolds with Riddy so our problem is the one that was allowed to let get away or released by whoever made the decision Heres to Riddy hope he's not too hard on us this week with his new partner

Be one hooker lighter when Baptiste signs for the Roosters

If it's true the rumours it's a big wage of the salary cap and I'd look to bring in a dominant halfback the takes control and is the leader on the park

Well I'm sure there's lots of them floating around wishing to play champ rugby at this stage of the season
