Day one of asking.

Good luck with this willzay pt and the gang will be along soon.

which one of them and no they haven't. Carter wants a statue, minnards is waiting to open our MONEY TREE, the new stand and the coach wants to take is home town team down. I wish all three would just p off now. The club as had the life sucked out of it

Oh sweet summer child, this is not day one of asking! I've been asking why he hasn't gone since his coronation last september when it was obvious he wasn't up to the job

Once Fifita returned which got the fanbase back onside, that was the opportunity to change the coach and freshen things up.

Other than the 14 defeats in a row and how many nillings. Plus baffling team selection. The thing for me is he's constantly failed to bring a SL intensity to any performance. We've had some victories but only against teams who were flat or in Wires case apalling.

I was willing to give him an opportunity to work with some cap spend and bring his own team in, but last night was unforgivable.

Don’t want to play toppit but I went thread to needle on why he shouldn’t be the Head Coach and what exactly we would set up and play like under him as the man in charge. I did this before he even got the job but rumours had begun about Willie losing his Head Coach position.

Sorry to say I was 100% correct!

Has he gone yet

As far as I'm aware, all three that are bringing the club down are still here.

I don't think this two will let Applegarth go, but I'm not sure changing things now, will have much of a bearing.

What should have happened, is Applegarth going sooner, probably around the defeat at MW, or maybe a bit earlier. That way, any new coach could have turned things around a bit sooner.

However, whether we stay up or not, I feel that a new coach is needed regardless of which division we find ourselves in, but not go for the cheap option, buy cheap, buy twice. We at least need someone who already has decent coaching pedigree

I hope Applegarth treated last night's game as day dot and Cas merely have a head start from what was the remaining half dozen games. I know we've been garbage for the majority of the season but I can see at least three (usually) winnable games.

Salford A - Winnable. Beaten once and came very close to beating twice, only losing in golden point.

Saints H - Winnable. Always seem to do well at home against Saints and have had some good recent results.

Catalans H - Can't see anything coming from this game other than a major suffering of our points difference.

Leigh A - No chance.

Hull KR H - Winnable. I think Hull KR's season might now slowly fizzle out after the cup defeat.

We aren’t favourites to win any of our remaining games however there’s always a chance of a lightning bolt from the blue and a result that none saw coming and that’s our only hope! Even if that happens we’ve got to hope that Cas don’t win another game and also take a number of hidings that will negate the points difference.
What a sad sorry state we are in and it’s was predicted that we’d end up here back in Sept 22

Even if we do stay up, which after last night looks even more doubtful, we need better. Four wins and a battle at the bottom isn't good enough year in year out. Let Long take over, his win rate at Fev shows he certainly knows how to orchestrate a team.

This is the thing that always frustrates me.
If we have big investment we don't go for an assistant coach who has never been head coach in SL.

If we are going to change we need a coach with lots of proven experience or an up and coming NRL assistant who is recommended.

This sounds like you think the appointment of Long lacks ambition because we may have an investor with money. I would think until the deal is done no one would invest a large amount of money without some control.
It may be we bring in an experienced NRL coach when the incumbents depart who knows but the chances are certainly improved greatly.

I'd let Long finish the season as Head Coach and take it from there. 19/21 is considerably better than 4/22!

I don't think that at all.

I think he is an excellent choice for our assistant.

Isn't Kirmo too, coming on board into the coaching staff.

Him and Long, working as assistants to a much more experienced coach could be a half decent coaching set up.

Maybe too, see if Applegarth would be interested in taking his old role with the kids, though that ship may well have sailed
