I'm warming to the idea of having Danny Ward (with Jamie Langley) come in. Watson, Powell, and Wane are all pipe dreams. I can't see McDermott coming in after he criticised AP earlier in the year.

Ward has continually had to rebuild his London side and got them overachieving every season. He's developed youth too while with them like Walker, Bienek and Butler. He's also brough players in on the 'cheap' who are now in most teams starting 17, Kear, Williams; Abdul, Battye, Cunningham, Gee, Pitts, Yates.

Going by what AP has said we're going to need to tighten the purse strings over the next few seasons too. If Kelly and Jones leave, hopefully Ward can find us a decent replacement at the fraction of the price. I'd be tempted to add Shaul to that list as well and see what fullbacks are on the market. Salford and Cas have proven recently you don’t need to break the bank to compete at the top end of the table.

I know his team got relegated but in reality, they didn’t stand a chance, the London squad had the smallest budget of any SL team, but he got them to within 80 mins of survival. His teams have a strong bond and has created a great fighting spirit. We seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly, too many times in the last few seasons when the going gets tough we just roll over. Plus, they played a good attacking style too.

Danny Orr is leaving Cas. Reading their statement it sounds like he has a head coach job lined up...

Not with us

Chemics?

Would it be impossible to think we might go for Sheens?
Would he be somebody who could put systems in place ?

Not saying he’d be my choice like.

Ask him tomorrow IH he’ll be snoring his head off now.

Reckon Orr will go to Widnes.

I still think we will get Ward, good thread on the London board about him.

Wakey maybe

Steve McNamara for us .

Top Class Aussie please

Would Danny Ward make people commit further to the club by buying season tickets for next year? For some fans I dont think so - It would be a sign of cost cutting and that in some peoples eyes make them cost cut too

The old speculate to accumulate adage springs to mind - bring in a top class proven Oz coach - not an assistant - and it will make people Bel13ve and commit further imo - yes i know it would cost more and is not guaranteed success but at least it will keep the fans enthused and engaged

I think we will recruit a proven winner, so long as Salford win today.

Like who?

Danny Ward and Jamie Langley are staying in London. Which also happens to be where your new coach is at the moment but he is only there on a short visit with his current club
