Paul Broadbent
Richard Horne

James Webster even'"


So reasonable options there, not sure on Horne as he's unproven and from the same stable we currently are saddled with, others might not be bad ideas tho, so good experience at our level.

Quote: Karlos "Theres not much out there is there.

I think Noble would be too expensive for us and would want to spend some money.

I wouldn't want Karl Harrison either as his tactics always seem a bit negative and predictable.

Thornton did a great job at Batley, is he still in charge of the young uns at wakey?

I was trying to think of pros coming to the end of their careers who might want a first start in the coaching game.I would be happy with one of these instead of an experienced guy.

I just want someone who will sort out our defence and discipline first and then play some attractive rugby and get the lads to play 100% for the full 80.

Its a tough job for Carl and John this one and they have to make the right choice.

(Hope its not Goulding either as he will bring the water carrier with him and we had loads of run ins with him at Rochdale over the years!!)'"



Well if Nobles to expensive and we don't want to spend money we may as well of kept cooke, gone down and just play in Div1.
you say someone whos just finishing his career and wants to go into coaching, weve just had cooke who was one of those people
and alot better than some knocking about now.

Why not keep Cooke then? You never heard me calling for his head. I never heard anyone else calling for his head at the end of last season either.

He cant be one of the best upcoming coaches around last year and then the worst this year. As I said a few weeks ago something is wrong at the club (I don't know what and ive not heard anything either) . Be it training , staff , DR or whatever the first the club had to do was find out the problem and nip it in the bud.Once that had been sorted maybe Cookey could have been left in charge. As I said not one person was doing any complaining after the league season last year.

Also regarding Noble , do you think on gates of barely over a 1000 we are in a financial position to be employing him and the playing staff he would want to bring in?

There are some players out there in the twilight of their careers who have played under some of the best coaches in the world who have picked up loads of knowledge and ideas.

Again ill ask the question who would you bring in as coach?

clutching at straws,but maybe an assistant coach at a super league club could be "borrowed"on a temperary basis to help out.did,nt want to see cookey go personnally but happens.hope the lads can get it together for Blackpool.

Sorry to see Paul go don't think it's all down to him what has gone wrong
this season but think he'll be back in rugby soon enough and do a great job.
Not sure where we go from here with a new coach, is it worth getting
someone in now or just make do till the end of the season and see who's out
there.
Tony Kemp.
Not Dave Woods for me
Goulding not sure
Noble not this league

I like James Webster, always had a great rugby brain on him it's just not worked out at Wakefield (this is me assuming he won;t last much longer there)

Sad to see Paul and Chris go as I think they have given their all for the club, both as players and coaches in the time they have been here. They have tried to build a team to take us forward with youth at its heart ,unfortunately things have not worked out and they have paid the price.
Some of the blame must also rest with the senior players. Some need to take a long hard look at themselves , because on current form 90% of them would be lucky to play Championship 1 never mind Championship. The club
showed loyalty to some of them after our great season last year ,When some of them should have been shown the door.
Last season we had quality players from Hull who pulled us out of the S##t on more than one occasion , this year we have had kids or squad players who look like they don't want to be here.
The club now needs to build for life in Championship 1 , scrap dual reg and play the lads that want to play for Doncaster, how much worse can it get. COYD

I agree there jemmo, he has a good future, would be a good catch, can't see him coming though to be honest. If/when he leaves wakey, I think he will probably become an assistant at a super league club, wouldn't mind if I was wrong though.
