Whilst I agree, galea and Newton know the club and Newton in particular is still very passionate about rovers, neither have any coaching experience whatsoever. We need someone with some experience after the Chester debacle, IMO. If the board are serious about movin forward as a club then we can't afford to take a gamble on guys that haven't even coached reserve grade rugby, even if they love the club. However, Newton is a good shout for some sort of role with the club in the future.

Bradford was a job too soon for Mcnamara, similar to Powell at Leeds. He also had to deal with the backdrop of a club in financial melt down, anyone would have struggled with that job, hence Noble leaving when he did. He'll have learned a hell of a lot in his time with England and in the NRL.

The Danny Brough Myth always amuses me, he has proven time and time again that he hasn't got the temperament to deal with big games and pressure situations. Yet he is touted as some master HB. I still think SM is tainted by the Rangi Chase pick tho, I would love to know if that was his choice or a 'coup' by the RFL that he had to use.

Tell me the last coach that was successful at wakefield ?

Noble left bradford to try and dig wigan out of the threat of relegation to take over from the sacked ian millward and will have been paid hansomely to do that.

Danny brough, like him or not is a quality player,2013 man of steel,challenge cup winner and was one of three players nominated for the 2013 rilf international player of the year alongside greg inglis and sonny bill williams. To be nominated alongside two of the games great players says it all,so somebody thought he could do it on the big stage,but obviously not you as you say it amused you.

I don't care if he won rear of the year, it doesn't take away from the fact that when he has been tested at the highest level he's failed and let his temperament overrun his talent. I don't doubt he's a very good player and his kicking game can be second to none but he has a tendancy to lose it, and when he does he is no use to anyone.

As for MOS, that was made worthless the year Rangi won it. Rangi's biggest claim to fame is that every team he has been with have made massive improvements from the day he left.

Danny brough could be the greatest players ever to have played the game but if he refuses to play for England then what was Steve McNamara supposed to do about it?

I thought he only refused to play for England having previously being snubbed by MaNamara.

And that speaks volumes of the guy so he never deserved to play for England with a attitude like that

Sorry mate you have got it the wrong way round,brough had previously been picked for scotland,but said he wanted to play for england as scotland could never reach top international tournaments,then mcnamara got the england job and refused to pick him,so brough went back to play for scotland and as I said was nominated for the international player of the year alongside inglis and sonny bill,which basically says what a good player he is.For what its worth mcnamara picked that well known "englishman" rangi chase instead which says it all.

I guess it speaks volumes about mcnamara then he never deserved to coach england with an attitude like that.

Spot on des

So because the coach never thought he was good enough to play for England he choses to play for Scotland then when he had a good season and was asked about playing for England he said no
Which to me says he refused to play and chose to play for Scotland instead

He didn't have a God Devine right to be picked for England then spat his dummy out when he wasn't picked

So you think rangi chase was a better choice then?
