You said you were struggling to think when it has worked, that's why I mentioned them. I'd take him over Lam for sure. He's earned a crack, we don't know whether he's capable of taking the next step or not. We already know that with Lam IMO, he has tried and failed to get it done in too many knockout games, which or course you get no major trophies without in our game.

I still think Lam deserves a chance be to take this team forward next year.

I may be in a minority but I see progression and improvement in our play.

Watson is going to a sleeping giant.

The fact is that Leeds, Wigan and Saints have all had coaching changes whilst Watson’s stock has been rising.

He hasn’t got any of the jobs.

Catalans or Hull (which it looks like he is joining) is a chance for him to show he can do it at a bigger club, but a club that doesn’t expect success.

He will have more pressure and a bigger budget along with bigger personalities to manage.

Is he as good as people think? Only had to win 2 games to get to Wembley. Salford had a good season last year led by Jackson Hastings but they have massively failed in the league this year.

Wakefield but near to Leeds!

Re: Watson to Hull : Mon Oct 26, 2020 12:40 pm  
Our NRL appointment didn`t fare too well although I for one was happy with the appointment.
We then went for Agar who let`s face it had not done a right lot at previous clubs nor was he anywhere near to being the fans choice.
But he is steadily building and who knows with the inclusion of Sean Long another who would not be at the top of my Christmas list.
We might see Leeds return to being a major player in SL once again.
It`s nice to get a name as your head coach but sometimes the less proven ones can deliver equally as good as Grimmy has already pointed out.

Long is an interesting one as, imo, he's not too dissimilar to Lam, or even another great HB - Andrew Johns.

All three were great players, experienced plenty of success and are quite well regarded as specialist coaches. The only issue is that all three, to varying degrees, were 'Jack the lad' types and I wouldn't want any of them to be the head coach of the team I support.

I know I've bagged Lam a bit, but I do actually think he's a decent technical coach. I'd be over the moon if he was just an assistant here - kinda like the NRL system with real quality coaches providing specialist coaching. We had that before with Deacon and Harris - just imagine Lam working under Wane btw.

Spot on SP.
It`s how Lam and Wane could interact with both of them having their own way of doing things.
Get the balance right and it would be a scary but successful combination I`m sure.
Much should be said for having the right assistant to compliment the head coach.
Long as a character I personally would not want at the club unless he has changed his attitude which I`m sure Sinfield would know about much more than I do.

He’s not joining Hull as per the post match interview, sounded like it was close though, wouldn’t be surprised if talks re-open again.

How refreshing is it for someone to actually answer a question on speculation.
