Dan Stains never made it to the end of a season.

Nor did John Monie

Out of interest who has been our longest serving coach in one continuous period?

In the Super League era, from memory/reading:
1996, 1997, 1998 - Currie
1999 - Stains, Les Kiss & Tony Rea
2000 - Monie, Rea
2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 Rea
2006, Rea, McDermott
2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 McDermott

I'm not sure about before then though. Rea got up to 5 1/2 seasons continuously, if McDermott sees out his contract to 2011 then he will equal that.

and here was I getting all positive about things again, till you said that



The one I would have really liked to have been able to stay and see where he could have taken us was Les Kiss

& agree Dan the man never got to a season end awards.

Wonder what the occasion was then? Anybody else remember it, he was speaking on the pitch at The Stoop I think. Maybe after his first match as coach.

Great call, we played some good attacking Rugby (from my fading memory) in the later half of 1999 and the defence was solid.

You repeated this untruth on the VT not to mention adding some lies about violence at the Halton Stadium. Can you not defend Quins without mud slinging my club or what? For the record, our crowds in SL were significantly more than 5K, and as for trouble at Widnes, the worst complaint we've had in the last ten years is when a bunch of school kids were given free tickets and intimidated (i.e. glared and shouted at) some Huddersfield fans. Our noisy neighbours in Warrington have a far more colourful history with crowd trouble, you might be confusing the two teams?

Either way, button it.

And good luck to london for the rest of the season.

My own suspicions are that from 2012 Super League will become a 16 team competition, perming any 2 from the following 4 to be added to the current SL Team Roster. Leigh Centurions, Toulouse Olympique, Widnes and Halifax.

Won't happen, it's already been voted on by member clubs and it's staying at 14 until at least 2014.
