Good luck to Rob-I would be interested to see who will replace him as the assistant coach-That could be the crucial appointment

Sporting Life says Latham will be Rob's assistant.

I didn't think Rob would get the job, but I would rather him than a lot of the names bandied about on here and in the press.

Well done Rob and Good Luck for the future.

From the way RP was talking in an interview he has given for the quins facebook page, and i may have misheard or misunderstood this. but he made it sound like Lathem Tawhai is stepping up into that role.

USED to rate Andy Wilson so highly, but of late some of his calls have been way off the mark, perhaps he is getting bored writing about the game and needs a change?

We have to get fully behind Rob, but I am disappointed about the remarks that we are only looking at loan signings, it does not show much for the Future?

With all the speculation about Lowes becoming our coach its interesting that he has left Wires on the day Powelly is announced as our new coach!!!

Gutted. Embarrassing. We needed someone new to change the culture of the club. Now we have a Mr London Rugby League which won't help at all. Total farce and a disgrace.

The last time we had a coach who came from the London Amateur scene, he did rather well. I am referring to Bill Goodwin, who was Fulham's third coach. He was with the club for 5 years and introduced a whole number of local players to the game. He later came back and set up the Broncos academy set-up. He worked with no money but was committed to the club, the south and the game.
A good omen methinks.

You may not have noticed but the game has moved on since the 80s.

Quite.

I cannot believe people out there are actually viewing this as a good appointment. Fair enough, wish him luck, but it almost seems people are happy with the club crossing their fingers and hoping for some sort of miracle.

There is an obvious trend here

Big money earners released
No new big names
Coach moves up from the ranks

Hughesy has said he will not lose the money he lost last year- We need new investment simple

Hughes obviously doesn't believe in the philospohy of spending money to make money either. Seems like damage limitation to me and that he is happy to watch the club go down the swanny with minimum effect on his personal wealth. Can't blame him really.

Its called positive thinking! We're broke, do you think we should pack up and go home, like a lot of M62ers? If we can't buy em we will have to make em! It is easy to pontificate as to what is wrong and sneer at others efforts, it is a lot harder to come up with solutions. Give the guy a chance, or create a virtual reality where you are always happy. Mr Big may just be around the corner!

I can't be positive when there is nothing to be positive about.

The most predictable of announcements.

Especially when it was announced that Daryl Powell was staying @ Fev.
