a lot of us have been saying about an overseas assistent how about an a man whos been learning his trade in england although he his not english he has learnt of what could be possibly two of the most succesful coaches in sl for last five years(at leeds ansd warrington).....step a mr willie poaching.im not saying i would want him but he may fit in

Nigel Wright who cut his coaching teeth at Penrith, helping make them one of the most successful junior sides in the NRL? Nigel Wright who has worked at Wakey in the recent past before going to work as an assistant to Tony Smith at Warrington, one of the most successful coaches in the superleague era? And I think you'll find what happens at Barrow has nothing to do with the coach and everything to do with the chairman. But no, Nigel Wright obviously hasn't got what it takes to be an assistant coach at Wakey.

exciting times boys and girls, exciting times

Doesnt nigels wife have a good job in london thats why he wouldnt move north for the barrow job? Part of the reason he was hardly at training and missed certain matches

Did anyone else see Wally lewis in super bowl car park?

I am sure several did during the 83-84 season.

Georgallis with Nigel Wright gets the GPFC vote.

Although if it were an option Brian Smith with Tony Dury would top even Georgallis/Wright.
However I can concede that 2 jobs (U18's and assistant 1st team) may be too much- bit like me having to teach 2 classes! I do want to see a "pathway" for TD though- great potential & truly believes in the goldmine of RL talent our region produces.

Was a sparkle in the old mans eye that year- so yeah so did I!

Lets hope that Wakey's new coach is more interested in Junior Development that the one who's just about to leave.

Dunno bout his missus but he has a personal training business based in the area. He couldn't afford to give that up as he was on peanuts at Barrow and only ever was part time. Maybe he could be tempted to leave someone else in charge and move back up here for a fulltime role. You don't know til you ask!

If he could get Wakey playing the same exciting,entertaining rugby as St.Helens did when he was in charge, Ian Millward would do for me anyday!
