| Warrington sacked lowes after 3 games and replaced him with smith
The rest they say is history

| Warrington already had a very good squad that was underachieving when Tony Smith was appointed. Hardly the same case scenario.

| If Dennis has been restricted to cash flow I don't know, but one things for sure it takes a very special coach to stop the rot !

| A coach with good credentials will attract better players.What has Betts achieved in coaching?Rugby Union pay more and if he was that good of a defensive coach he would have stayed at Gloucester.

I thought it was Widnes?

Wakefield turn over a big club every season and i see no reason why Widnes can't do the same.[/quote]:7294.jpg |

I think Wakefield were in a far worse position to prepare for this season. Widnes had a good 2 month extra preparation than us, that’s a hell of a long time extra when it comes to recruitment. In fact come franchise decision day I think we were more prepared for playing out the following season for the Championship.

| you'd be better off without need a top british coach like noble or daryl powell and give time to build a team or you could do what every club does lately and appoint some aussie nobody's heard of and have a matt parish situation lol

| The only thing is if Betts stays there won't be any recruitment.
Should Noble come in he'd insist that Cullen goes and he does his own recruitment.
Widnes won't be anywhere near the salary cap limit so hiring a few players should be quite easy, provided they are available.

Or someone like Justin Morgan who did wonders for us at HKR and turned us from a NL side to a side thats regulary competing in the playoffs; and now moving on up and hoping to break into the top 5.
Each to their own my 12 fingered wire friend.

| Justin morgan would also be a good shout but a good british coach should be given an opportunity
Noble,Powell, the sheffield coach Mark Aston should get a chance but i would hope a club in SL should give a coach the build his team

| Only 3 games into a 3 year licence. Brand new to the comp, quite a few new players with lots of injuries. If you were a top 4 team I would be concerned but I think he needs to be given a fair chance

If Noble did come in he would be doing his own recruitment and Cullen would still be there.
Noble didn't apply for the job last time around but it had nothing to do with the off field structure. He was angling for a job in Australia at the end of the season that never came about.
Any coach coming into Widnes is responsible for identifying players, training and selecting first team players.

| I don't really like playing this game but the one man that matches our ambitions and has the tools to deliver is Powell.
He is very (and rightly so) committed to Featherstone though.
I'm still waiting to see what can be done between now and the London game. Betts has a challenge I really hope he has the mettle for it. I want the guy to do well.

He be a good call and i think he would do well at Widnes.Betts out of his depth in my opinion.

| Sorry to say this but whoever you get this season'if it's true' won't make a lot of difference.
You have a squad just as capable of competing as us Leythers did in our one season in what was then Superleague (non relegation league now of course).
Your club may as well wait till the end of the season and save the money' then if you want to get anywhere go for Millward.
