I don't think Covid is massive over there, compared to how it was here. They just hoped to seal the borders and sit it out and it hasn't quite worked. As I understand it though, compared to other countries Covid is no big deal. It is just their reaction to it that is a big deal.'"
Sorry yes, I didn’t mean COVID cases. More their reactions and lockdown

| Quote ="TimmySmith"Is it likely any Aussies are going to want to take the plunge to come over here in such times? COVID is massive over there with the lockdown, some fear they’ll be locked down until next year. Who knows, maybe they’ll see it as an escape route!!
The name Anthony Seibold came to mind when thinking of Aussies, someone who’s no doubt going want to revitalise his coaching career. I’m sure there are better coaches available though!
Despite being from Wakefield, I really don’t see big fat mac taking over. Never really seemed to like us and the Wigan pie will probably still be bitter about the 62-0 drubbing we gave him a few years back.
I reckon it’ll be someone over here who takes the job. Would like it to be announced soon, so they can get to work straight away and prepare properly for next year.'"
Seibold is the Aussie Chester, Broncos looked thrown together week after week, I wouldn`t go anywhere near him.
And first Big fat Gill Dudson, now big fat mac? Your one to talk, have you given up on the diet Trinity18? Last update you gave us you were 24 stone.

Quote from him earlier this year. It doesn’t fill you with hope that he’d want to come to a bottom end superleague club that’s for sure.

| Danny Ward seems an obvious fit. Leon Pryce did well at Swinton by all accounts. Can't see an Aussie wanting it.

You’re so strange. 4 posts about rugby and the fifth is always having a dig at someone, recently you’ve had an issue with the moderator and now me. Grow up.

| With Wayne odds on for the vacant Wigan job at the end of the season it’s ward or McDermott for me as uk based coaches , But there is a plethora of Aussie coaches waiting in the wings to be given a chance ,but obviously money may be a stumbling block.Pretty sure plenty of coaches known and Not so known to us will put their hat into the ring for a chance to coach super league club.

What issue have I had with a moderator? Lol, how many times have you been banned from here? Slowly but surely slipping into old habits with your fat jibes.

| Quote ="vastman"Other than one year from McNally have we ever had any success with Aussie coaches, Smith and Webster being the last two.
Although it's tempting for smaller clubs like ours I believe the Aussie in question must have played/coached in the UK previously. They do ok at big clubs where money is no problem but at smaller clubs, I honestly think they need to have some basic understanding of the English game and English players.
JD is an obvious but sadly unavailable example'"
Think smith did more than some realise no coincidence we wher good for a couple of years after his departure

Read back through your posts, always name dropping Poptart because of his opinions.
What do you mean old habits?

Wayne wouldn’t stand it with this lot he’s a total disciplinarian, his preparation is second to none, the one thing about Wayne when at Wigan is he doesn’t suffer fools or big time Charlie’s

There may be a few Aussies who see the super league as a way to get an NRL head-coach job as per Justin Holbrook and Trent Robinson. The problem will be that we'd regard a top-six finish as a good result whereas it wouldn't register with the NRL. Holbrook took Saints back to the top.
There are two types of coaches: those who can coach very good players to be better (Holbrook, Robinson) and those who can get a lot out of players who aren't so good (Kear, Powell).
Arguably, a disciplinarian is needed, to kick some butt and get people fit, but because there isn't much going the club other than the team spirit, that is probably a bad decision. Danny Ward fit the bill for the job of getting a lot out of not-so-good players.
Looking at MC's comments re potential postponements, perhaps CC was too honourable and it cost him (along with other things).

| Quote ="TimmySmith"Where is Tony these days?'" he lives in Knottingley now spoke to him a couple of month ago he’s doing fine. A very underrated coach and it was a pleasure working with him for a number of years with our academy and on various junior camps. I asked him if he fancied one more go at it but he totally fell out with the game and the way it was run and being played

| I'd happily settle for Shaun Wane. I don't particularly like the guy or his over aggressive style of play, but he certainly knows how to get the best out of players. If it meant watching a winning team I'd overlook his faults.

Do you not think he’d be a stop gap? As soon as it’s coming up to the World Cup, he’d drop us to focus on England.

Guess so!
Just what is the job description for a "Director of Rugby?" for 100+ years how did we manage to carry on without them?
