Quote: The Clan "I'm biased of course but that's balanced by my loyalty to Wakefield Trinity and the understanding that this appointment is vital to the future of the club.
I look at how Neil transformed Widnes when taking over from David Hulme, he knows how to get an under performing team to reach its potential. He is a play off knockout specialist who's reached 3 Grand Finals with unfancied teams, the kind of knowledge we will need come the Middle 8s at the end of the season.
He's a Wakefield man, a former Wakefield player.
He is one of the highest qualified RL and RU Coaches there is and has recently worked at the RUWC and with other International RU teams.
He's recently returned to Wakefield and is available.
Fate?'"
When I think of your brother coaching, I remember him kicking a holdall during a half-time roasting, captured on camera. That is exactly what we need, not standing there with a clipboard. As has been said, we haven't got a bad squad, but they are unable to stop any side that gets the wind in their sales. You can see the defeat in the players' eyes. The second half against Leigh was just hard to credit. Very well done to Leigh, they got a roasting and responded. We were nothing short of disgraceful.
I would resist the notion of Poching. What has been shown with Webster is that some people are just meant to be assistants, not head coaches. Given that Willie Poching seems to be content to be an assistant, I would steer clear.
Morrison would be good, and I reckon a performing lower league coach would relish the challenge. If he succeeds, he knows he could end up with a decent top flight reputation along the lines of Daryl Powell.
