The players did seem to take the game too lightly and perhaps that's because we'd won a few on the bounce and Leigh already had the wooden spoon in their trophy cabinet.

However, it's the coaches job to make sure that they ARE up for it and to find a way of not allowing complacency to creep in.

Having said that, in 30+ years of watching Trinity we've always had the knack of losing "easy" games and equally, dumbfounding the pundits by beating "loftier" opposition (as we did v Warrington).

So ive read today that the following jave applied and been interviewed

Paul anderson
Mcdermott
A henderson
Danny ward
WP

Dont know how true this is but if it is true really dontknow who i want between ward Mcdermott and poaching so im just gonna wait n see and support who ever gets it

Willie with Hendo as assistant for me.

I'd probably go Poching/Anderson/Henderson as all OK but no thanks to McDermot or Ward.

Where did you read it, Luppy?

And you heard that at which chippie?

That’s just a made up list of names mentioned on hear.

I seriously doubt that’s how it works except in the minds of posters on here.

FWIW I doubt we’ve interviewed anyone for the head coaches job, I suspect that went to WP a bit back but I may be wrong.

Of those names only Ward stands out as an asst coach as I suspect WP knows him well but like everyone else I’m guessing.

I will be honest, I read the same on the red, white and blue army.

The names don’t surprise me, though I’ve heard McDermott mentioned more than once.

We’ll just have to wait and see

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.
