according to an "insider" at another club, Mcdermott was interviewed by Trinity and was told that he hadn't got the job. I would be happy with Poching as head coach with Ward as his assistant .

Ahh well if the poster had said it was on such an august and accurate site as that then I wouldn't have questioned it



All conjecture I'm afraid.

I find it odd that wakey fans wouldnt want Anderson. From that list he's the only one with a track record in SL of getting the best out of good to average players and doing so without the players, facilities, backroom staff and other resources that Mcdermott had.
He's well organised, no nonsense, has a winning mentality and very hardworking.
Anderson would be my choice.

That must be why you sacked him then.

The truth is I thought he was hard done by but he's not done much since 2016 other than run an Academy team at Warrington?

What we have to consider is that when Wakefield appoint a new coach it is for life and not just until the performances deteriorate.

Sorry couldn’t resist.

I believe he is one of Wane's assistant coaches in the England setup, and the head coach of the England Knights.

As I said, not much. I'd have thought he'd have got another SL gig but 5 years is a long time. Maybe he's just not interested, I wouldn't blame him.

Was on Facebook yesterday cant remember exactkey who posted hence i said dont know how true

If it's not to be WP, I'd take Anderson, if it is WP, have Anderson as assistant.

People keep chucking names like Anderson around but surely it’s WPs choice should he get the job permanently. In which case why would he want Anderson? What connection do they have? I’m not saying there isn’t one or that he may be quite happy with that scenario but we can’t just limp two people together because we like the sound of it.

I’d go for Ward but that may be the last person Poching wants. Frankly I would expect he will go for someone with far less experience than either of those, I would. There can only be one boss.

Do they have to have a connection?
Weren't you one of the ones that was saying we need someone with no connection or sentimental ties to the club?
For the time being, I'm looking to see what the response from the players on Friday will be after last Sunday.
