Paul Rowley to be announced today as new coach

Who says

No thanks.

Where has this come from, please tell us, not doutiing you

Not a chance

Rubish!

I'm happy with that a hungry coach with a point to prove rather than a pensioner who wants a hobby to get him away from the wife

Newmarket Cat, you started this now have the balls to tell us where this has come from

Dickens in charge for a month, new coach to be announced, unless MC new this was coming and had chance to prepare.

Are you saying new coach announced today JINJER

Not really mate just wondered if MC knew and had time to prepare.

Cheers mate, see what 12.30 brings then for our sins

its Paul Daniels and Debbie Mcgee some may like it but not allot. Pauls first job will be to bring his good friend Paul McKenna in for a session with all the players.

Bit of a short term appointment, with his recently diagnosed brain tumour.

Rowley wasn't the name i heard but i guess we'll find out soon enough. He has been strongly linked with the coaching job for the new Canadian team that us entering league 1 next year so it would be short term if so and i'm but sure that is what is needed right now. After 3 coaches in 2 years a bit of stability would be nice.

What name have you heard?

Everybody saying it was a shock to the board so I don't think they will have anyone yet.
If they have they have done no research or interviewing which makes it even worse than having no one.

Chris Chester. Although if i'm honest i'm feeling so deflated about the whole goings on that i'm getting to the point i don't really care anymore.

Dickens it is then, just announced temporary, and Smith left, Carter says he had a frosty relationship with Smith sins Christmas

Newmarket cat

Michael Monaghan??

Wonder if MC will seek advice re. Coach appointment as he admits to being an RL novice.

Thinking about it my choice would be Ryan Sheridan. He would come from a team with a simular budget and set up . He would have a very healthy squad to work with and hopefully mould into a hard working team . He's been with Powell at cas and Featherstone and look how both have performed under them . Really hope he is one of the candidates

Like everybody I was flat yesterday but after the press conference today and MC publicly saying they have had a frosty relationship for nearly 3 months makes me understand how players will have reacted to this. You cannot hide such a relationship problem and while I thank him (BS) for his efforts at WTW and especially in the MPG its now time to move on and I have to admit I am quite excited at the fact that there are 15 people wanting the post. we are a name that's synonymous with Super League and long may this continue.

I don't disagree with you in terms of his quality, but for me Wakefield need an experienced coach.
Webster and Agar proved that we are not the place for a first time head coach. We need someone who has some experience, even if at the lower level.
Kear and Morrison, and to a lesser extent Marshall and Harrison all fit the bill for me.

I guess it does depend on whether Smith talks well of us or lays into the setup we have. it may put the better applicants off .
