Great to see big Willie get his first proper coaching job
Fan favourite at Leeds and one of the few who Tony Smith took with him when he joined Wire so clearly highly regarded in his eyes

Bit weird about Chester though... I thought he did quite well with them last year given their injuries in the halves

Who could we realistically get, who would inspire confidence? Especially in the short-term.

At worst, Poching in charge buys us time to see if different, better options emerge. And in that time he might surprise his doubters. Some coaches might be happy to be just a caretaker, but WP has ambitions to be a head coach. Asking him to hold the fort just until we find somebody else, then he's on his way doesn't look a great option from his POV. So unless somebody is lined up quickly, he's worth a try-before-you-buy. Better than rushing a a permanent appointment IMO - especially looking at the candidates people have suggested.

I would like to see him given the job & carry on his losing run.

And I'm sure many of us hope Radford's losing 'run' is extended. The qualifying 8s would undoubtedly be enlivened by a Rovers-Hull Derby or two.

By your comment “he’s not good enough” am I to assume you have had the benefit of Willie’s coaching. If so can you enlighten me as to where he went wrong?

That was a very definite statement that he isn’t good enough and I wondered what you based your opinion on. A lot of Warrington supporters thought he was and were very disappointed when he left. Until he has been able to use his own methods at Rovers nobody will know and that includes his defensive structures.

At the moment I'm thinking it's got to be experience. Brian Noble is an example of a name that always comes up at this point, but would a guy like him not be in touch enough in this era?

As our specialist defence coach he managed to have the second worst record in the league. Only Wakefield were worse.
