It has to be a complete new coach, and not Thorman. Also we need the new coach to bring his own coaching staff with him. It's time to kick the players up the back side & not be friends/drinking buddies.

First plus for Thorman.

Honest and transparent with fans on all our injuries.

From what people are saying it won't matter who our coach is if signings are generally decided by the board/Thewliss. I can't however imagine any coach with any amount of steel to stand for this though, as they live or die by results, and if someone else is forcing players on you.. they aren't your results!

Superleague isn't the level to begin being a first team coach so i would rule out Thorman for that reason. Like many others on here i want us to change our style of play and i'd go with any coach who can do that successfully.

I completely agree, The time for giving people a chance to show what they can do, is not now. We need a coach who has proved what he can do.
On top of that if Thorman is doing such a great job why move him, He is a young man and has plenty of time to get some experience before coaching at the highest level, That doesn't mean he wont get the job, he will be affordable.

One option would be to sell 1 one of the stands and try to coax Powel away from Cas, or just the seats from one stand and get Hetherington.

Stick with your club , things will pick up .
Feel for Ken Davy , he has pumped heaps of cash into the club
Enjoy watching Hudds, used to like watching Broughy & Robbo play , and what a player Mc Gilvary is for you .

Paul Cooke would be a good SL head coach . Think one day he will be maybe he thinks it’s a bit early for him right now.

Chris has his chance. If he can get the squad to unite around him and play with intensity for the full game week in week out then he should get the job. If he can't then we need to try to recruit someone we think can. The names been banded about have promise, but I think Edwards would be the one to most likely do the above.

Chris Thorman has coached at senior level, prior to returning to The Giants he was senior coach at York Knights for a couple of seasons At least he has been straight and up front about our injury situation unlike his predecessor.Who was the person who sanctioned the loans of players out of the club ,we need these players now and can't get them back.I hate dual registration but its a site better than the situation we find ourselves in this week ,5 players out on loan and struggling to name a 19 for first Easter match and another match on the near horizon.

I questioned the loans when the Wakeman one happened - Chris itself told me that they can be recalled at any time under the terms of their loan agreements.

dont think we could attract someone the calibre of shaun edwards.

I don't think Rugby League could.

neil henry been banded about today

and bookies have slashed tony smiths odds too

If we play this kind of rugby under Thorman then I’ll take that over another Aussie and their style any day!!!!!!!

indeed, lets hope it lasts

Really glad the boys pulled thier act together, makes me wonder if player power got the change in coach they wanted?
Either way I'm glad Thorman had a positive start, I don't think there's any doubt in his ability to coach and lead, for me it's his ability to attract the right caliber of player to the club.

possible new coach will have watched that today and will see what a job he has on his hands! if anyone actually wants the job

At the Giants, it’s the CEO who handles the signings.

alot of us know this! look what squad he has assembled now, total disaster on long deals

No guys you are wrong , jools says it’s coaches who signed them to 5 yr deals get it right please

sorry!!!

To be fair we were missing a number of key players - Brough, Mcgillvary, Leroy, Mamo, Leeming, Roberts. Any team struggles without their key players.

Nope you are wrong. Ken Davy, Richard thewlis and three successive coaches say that - not me.

Ok jools you are right as usual, sorry, thewlis is not an issue it was sharp then brown then Anderson then Stone now thorman, spot on

So not ken Davy then?

You forgot mall Reilly, van de velde, John kear ... oh wait Richard wasn’t even MD at the club then.....

Ken Davy is allowing the slide, how he can be happy with thewlis is mind boggling, so many big decisions wrong for so long, but hey you keep believing in him I for one have had enough

It’s not just the quality of the first team that’s sliding.
