In respect of coming us or coming to SL in general?

Is he the ex-Wigan player who ended up at Leeds?

I thought Cas did the dirty on Dave Woods as I thought he did a great job getting us back up to SL.

Some interesting names emerging, the attraction of waking this sleeping giant doesn't seem to be putting people off if what we're hearing is right. There's certainly plenty of experience in top level coaching and a few ex players fancying it too. Gonna be an interesting week next week.

Yes - the same. Clarky kept mentioning him when talking to Eddie about Wakey getting a new coach.

His record at canberra is up there with JW's for us.

Probably just touting his mate for a job

FWIW I don't want an Aussie coach. I don't think they are right for a club like ours, certainly not those straight off the plane. I'm not doubting their ability, far from it. However there are similarities between NRL clubs and the likes of Wigan and Leeds. There are no similarities between Wakefield and the NRL. I'm afraid and I feel the culture shock would take more time to get over than there is time available. I'll make an exception with Woods because he has done his time so to speak.

The beauty of a local British coach is they know the ropes and they actually know the players rather than their stats etc. Someone like Andy Kelly or JK will have been monitoring some players since they were 10 years old and they know what sort of players and individuals they are - they don't need the opinions of other possibly more biased people. They are not necessarily better coached just better coaches for the position we are in.

In the short term it's buy British for me.

I guess I'm with you on this one Vasty (unless JD kas applied)

Wakefield the club should be making the most of the coaching situation. Press release regarding the number and quality of the applicants. Then a day or 2 days later a statement regarding interview and hope to call a press meeting. Then the introduction of the new coach. ( milk it )

I think you'll find PR is an alien word to Wakefield Trinity, and Rugby League in general.

Dr Koocash would have his media team working overtime on this one, especially if there are some promising unexpected candidates

We had the PR in spades with Glover.......just needs to be balanced

I'm with you on the British thing Vasty. In the sense that they need to know what they are getting.
So Morrison, Woods and JD will all be fine, but a new coach from overseas would need a big infrastructure around them to get the best results and we just don't have that.

Brian smith as been backed from 20-1 to 4-1 now that would be a a suprise
