How long before a Super League Club comes knocking at Andrew Henderson door. His stock continues to rise with the team putting in such outstanding performances, such as on Saturday.
David Hughes may have a job on his hands to keep him. Honda obviously has ambition and I am sure he is ambitious for The Broncos to get promoted. Would he be able to turn down a juicy Head Coach job in SL. I think not.
However the club does have someone on the books who could be the answer. Jamie Langley is doing such a good job with the U19s, he must be a ready made replacement.
Come what may, the club is in a really good place. Playing wise at least.

dont forget we also have Danny

If we manage to get promoted to SL this season (or next) it won't matter. Isn't he contracted for the next 2 years?

Jamie Langley over Danny Ward for me.

Hendo's other half stated a few weeks back on social media that he and the family have never been happier and the plan is to stay for as long as the club want him.

He hasn't achieved anything yet and is very junior in terms of coaching. He got one of 3 full time teams in the second tier of RL to second place(took a hammering at the top club). We were knocked out of the CC at the first hurdle at home. We performed poorly earlier in the season losing games that maybe we shouldn't, and after the Toulouse game we dipped.

We did well against a poor Catalans team away on Sat but didn't win critically. Let's not get overly excited.

Don't for one moment compare him to D.Powell. He has done the hard yards with a number of clubs in 2 leagues for years.

Way to kill the mood mate!

Yep, a very glass halve empty view of the coach..............

Rather than offering cheesy comments that add nothing but a cheap dig, provide counter evidence or offer your thoughts.

Is there something in the post thats incorrect??

However you look at it, if we continue to progress as we are. And we do not win promotion. Some Super League club will come and make an offer to Hendo. Whether he feels it is right for him would remain to be seen.
Rugby coaches with his potential are a rather scarce commodity. He is without doubt starting to get noticed. I would not want him to leave, but I am sure if he felt it was right for him, David Hughes would let him go.
Where could he go. Catalan might be a possibility. They must have been impressed with the performance on Saturday. McNamara is not delivering the goods. Hendos brother played there, so he has some connection. He might think time in France might be good for his kids. There will be others.
Who knows? He might even get a call from Australia. Only time will tell!

Lighten up fella!

Thanks Dad.

It's an interesting debate, we are where we should be in the league table, full time squad x super league status, so reality is we have done nothing special as a squad. To get himself really noticed we needed to out perform KR we didn't! We needed to be in the fight last year eg MPG we weren't, if we get promoted or make the MPG this year then you can take another look. But we have not achieved anything more than expectation in the last 2 seasons. Does that make Hendo particularly marketable to another club? I would suggest not.
Saying that, let's keep him.

Looking at SL there are possibly 2 vacancies coming up at Wires and Widnes

Will he be in the running for either??

After today's result no

What's his obsession with 2 hookers on the pitch

He made two changes(forwards) straight after they scored when it was clear we needed changes earlier (A trait Mac had)

Why only use 3 replacements especially when Davies game was over early. He only used the big young prop for one spell.

Why keep the frog half of the pitch for such a long spell

Forwards were battered for the second time against Fev at Ealing. This is his squad not Joeys.

Why o why didn't we take a one pointer when we got a set of 6 in there 20 near the end. I know thats not the coach but jesus thats back field rugby league.

Changes these days in rugby seem to be made on the clock rather than need for a change, if someone is not doing his job or giving away needles penalties make the change don't wait for the 20min clock

We made our first (double) changes at 30 mins, last week Rocky came of at 11.

Just once... in the 2nd half.... the ref gave us 3 penalties in a row where we scored twice. The ref was a Mr L. Moore according to the programme. The penalty count must have been at least 21-7 to Fev.

9-8 in fev's favour. don't think you can have too many complaints.

Don't be silly homer, no way the ref could possibly have been balanced, you must have counted wrong, it's always someone else fault that we blew it!!!!
Through the season I have seen very few penalties against us we didn't deserve, same with penalties in our favour, we get what we should, some folk will never agree though

The ref had a difficult match to manage. it was tough, niggly but to be fair he was consistent to both teams. My concern was that from the KO we kept getting in his face, I think this was due to lack of composure due to the importance of the game which I also think was the reason we didn't take the one point at the end. Poor.

The referee was frustrating I am sure for both sides. You could pick holes in his performance but the two stand out issues I have are one how did he miss the forward pass at the start of the second half and two how can he miss Rich Moore being 3m in front of him all the time!

Frankly we lost the game, not the referee. If we cant take the physicality then we cant even have a hope to compete in SL.

The injuries are a worry, Api was playing for most of the game with his arm dangling by his side, we lost Matt D before half time, Barthau was off for a spell and Jarrod at the end of the game.

One thing that is beginning to grate on me is the almost libraryesque feel to the match day, I mean it was so quiet, any wonder the players are struggling to keep focused - where is the 18th man ?

It went very quiet when the final whistle blew, I commented to SteveL. I think yesterday was a realisation that there is still away to go. When you look at Leighs 2 years trying to go up, the big shift they made in year 2 was to bring in grisly tough forwards whilst still playing expansive footy. This is something we need to do. Are the likes of Eddie B, Gee, Rocky, Evans, Spencer etc etc dominant enough? We have one prop who stands out each game and makes an impact. We have some decent back rowers (if we could keep Wilde that would be good) and a couple of good hookers.

For me we need 4 props and a decent centre. Unfortunately Purtell didn't work out

Wq bang on. Leigh built slowly, they got the venue sorted first with the village, then built year on year. Last year was an improvement on the year before, this year I suspect at the end we will look back and say we have either gone back a step or stood still.
The important thing is stability, yes I agree we need to bring in some impact players, but we can't do what london always seems to do which is stumble into every season with a new set up
