What type of coach do you feel this squad of player need?

He may well have showed an early expression of interest. As I am sure many more will also prove to do in the coming days. That is all.

Jon Sharp?

Could we not give Purtill a trial period with assistance from Mickey Higham to try to instil some passion into a team without any Leigh born players?

Thanks Derek for listening!!!

I have already stated that Millward would be my preferred option, especially when he turned the 'returning' Mickey Higham into the player he was / still is !!

A friend of mine in Huddersfield says it has already been advertised in their local rag that Paul Anderson has been named already !

Unfortunately, it would have to be Cunningham, but at 50/1, Millward would be a really interesting punt !!

I make no apologies for posting almost an identical post on the Challenge Cup thread because I feel we have a great chance to turn this season around.
The announcement of MH coming out of retirement has given DB a great opportunity to turn the season around and get feet back on the terraces very quickly IF he brings the right coach on board. A quick read of the this thread and others where a new coach is mentioned or debated shows one clear message. Don’t make it KC Derek !

Re: Jukes gone : Wed Feb 28, 2018 5:01 am  

If K.C. is to be the next coach, then surely Derek should be advertising for a new Director of Rugby not coach !!!

My bet is the "Marwan" effect I suspect Ian Watson will be brought in, think about it.
Proven S/L coach, Marwan's old coach and links with Leigh (2008 - 2009)

Just a thought

Zulu I have mentioned Watson in a previous post and agree with everything that you say. However, I dont see Cunningham as a long term fixture at Leigh. Great player but no coaching skills. So why not take the gamble and approach. Shaun Edwards a man that has exprerience(vast) in both codes. Commands respect and has contacts throughout both codes of Rugby
