Please take Agar off our hands.

Just looking on redvee the names in the frame are Justin Morgan, Steve McNamara, Paul Rowley, Geoff Toovey and David Fairleigh. The popular choice would be Daryl Powell but general acceptance that after doing a long rebuilding job with Cas to take them to near the summit he won't want to give them up now and start from scratch again.

I really can't see Powell moving from Cas

Lol

Yes you pooh poohed my suggestion of a punt on Michael Monaghan after our second Loss (and I've never once suggested Lee Briers BTW).




Well we never slid down the table as we couldnt slide any lower, but we got worse and stayed bottom and are only off the bottom by points difference, we drew to a team at home that Salford put fifty odd past away.

oh how you must have laughed at Salford when they got rid of Super Aussie coach Tim Sheens for an ex player with little coaching experience....????

get yourself onto redvee.net and have look at their poll ...the saints fans favourite for the job is David Fairleigh.....some ex player assistant i'm guessing...

Fairleigh has had a long apprenticeship now doing 15 years on the coaching staff of various clubs in the NRL so he might be a good shout.

Give it a couple of games..Smithy will be available..

It's a poison chalice...
KC has said there was no money available to him.

Lets hope saints dont swoop in and take John Kear from right under our noses.

Or Brian Noble!!

; )

Tony Smith has come out in support of KFC...surprisingly he's not in favour of sacking coaches... www.sthelensreporter.co.uk/sport ... -1-8488321

Yeah, I was only teasing...I do think the time was right for KFC to leave, though, despite what Smith says.

I agree that it was probably time for him to go, his apprenticeship wasn't long enough to take on the top job at Saints.

I know they are above us in the league and I've defended Smith when quite a few have called for his head on here maybe the solution for both was to see how the season panned out unless of course they have a top replacement lined up?

I did wonder why Smith felt the need to say anything, it is not our business and he doesn't have a wider remit to justify commenting.
Perhaps he was feeling a bit itchy that a coach, with a team ahead of us in the league, got the boot for poor performance.

or perhaps its topical news, and he got asked about it during media this week?

Too easy.

How about he got asked the question? You know, asked a question and answered it? Guess he can't even do that now without being at fault.

Didn't hear any other coaches comment on it during media this week?

I heard TS was buttering-up KC so that he could borrow his hedge trimmer over Easter.

Neither of them are surprised with those quotes.
