Hoping for a quick announcement about a new Trinity Head Coach who turns a few heads in the sport and is well respected, experienced and successful in the game….

The reaction to his replacement will probably go one of two ways. It'll either be, "wow!, I never saw that coming!" or, "cheap, unproven option again. Typical Wakey."

Your not wrong, but even the wow won’t be good enough for some.

At Wakey, everyone is unproven, because managing a team of great players is a different skill to managing a bunch of newbies, hopefuls, and second-chancers.

Time will tell. We'll know by May how it is going, whoever it is.

Or by next week or whenever the new coach is announced.........

According to Ross Hepinstall new coach to be announced in a few days. I’m in the cheap unproven option camp but hope I’m wrong

If the 'standard' of coaching was that bad, how come they managed to play well at the back end of the season?
Toulouse was a big game to lose and that can't be blamed on WP.
I remember the last time the players at Wakey complained about the coaching/training!
That led to a superb honeymoon period for CC, then performances gradually deteriorated until JK was brought in and we looked like a team again but after JK left, the performances deteriorated once again.
Think WP has been given the s#!tty end of the stick on this one.

If the standard was good why did it take until round 20 to string a couple of better performances?
Toulouse was poor game management by Poching and didnt react with subs to minimise the impact of being down to 12 men and ameteur to use 2 markers when 12 men on the field, that is coaching and he was the coach, likewise Salford away zero change in game plan and salford continued to do what they did from score one to score 14

Poching i like but a head coach he isnt, he deserved his chance but as a club we need to push for better experience, if we persist with mediocre 2/3rds of the season and an above average final 1/3rd then we will never improve regardless of any future stadium enhancements and any possible investments

Even my positivity is being tested on this one. I was pro Willie and am hoping they are going to impress me but I'm not feeling it so far.

Top post nail on the head. To persist with two markers against Toulouse at Magic when down to 12 was a massive mistake we may as well have had another in the bin. Salford was a joke the backs got castigated but Salford were excellent helped by our forwards not quick enough to move from the middle to the edge defence.
