Brian Mc or Danny Ward for me.

I don’t buy in to the local lad or played for the club requirement, I’m interested in who can shape and lead us into a difficult year and beyond.

McDermott has had a hugely successful career, (player and coach), and has achieved pretty much all there is to achieve.

An apprenticeship under Tony Smith at the Giants and Rhinos, coached a struggling limited budget club in London and won everything there is to win as a coach when back at Leeds.
Yes with a golden generation of players but it still needed to be won, with Toronto anyone should have got them up, he did, Rowley didn’t. Toronto has been well covered but the contract and administration left their super league chances as slim to none.
Could he manage to steady the ship at Wakefield? I believe so but the playing group would need to buy in to his approach and philosophies which appear to be discipline based. Do they have the mindset? As professionals you would hope so.
(The mentality piece he did with stevie ward is well worth a listen/watch)

As for Danny Ward, similar start to his career coaching London gaining promotion and certainly not disgracing themselves whilst in the super league. Would Danny’s approach to the playing group be more suitable than McDermott’s? Possibly.

Either way we have to be realistic. Talk of JD, Wane etc it’s pure fantasy. We know where we are as a club and I’m sure MC knows where we need to be in terms of budget. I would assume, (as with all of the above), that McDermott and Ward will meet that criteria and have an interest in the role.

Would wish CC all the best....
......Until he came to Belle Vue - then he could get ready for some stick!

You woukdnt of think hed gone with state of team

There will be a few red faces around if it happens so fingers crossed.

Aren't Wigan already playing as bad as us??

The way they are playing he is a natural choice and no I will not be red faced because the important thing is that he is no longer coaching us. I hope we agreed or built in a clause that states we stop paying him once or if he finds alternative employment.
