you are of course assuming he wanted another job. Would the majority of us work if we didn't have to?
Lets see how long it takes for Chester to get a job in International RL and another SL job and we can then compare.

Im just struggling to see why such as yourself seem to want WP over a proven coach like Anderson. I like WP, I think hes a nice fella, and has skill, BUT In the time he was at Hudds he never stood out, was pretty anonymous in the background and he never took on much responsibility or took control of anything, compared to Robbo who on paper was less experienced but was often spokesperson and took on a more leading role.

Are you on his payroll?

How good do you think Anderson is and if he's such a good SL coach, would you want him back at Huddersfield ?

As for WP, he's been assistant at some top clubs and worked under some of the best SL coaches, should he stay as an assistant infinitum.
He's done better at Trinity in a few short weeks than Chester has managed for the last 3+ seasons and better than your own coach in terms of current win ratio.
IF he could replicate that form for a full season, Trinity would be 4th in the league

Truth is you know jack s###t about me as i keep proving.

And as for my comment it does make sense you just dont want it to

Enjoy watching the score flash up on tele tonight as i guess with your lack of knowledge you dont attend games

Silly defensive post. It was a fair question, why do you think an 'outsider' will do any better when you don't. As for a lack of knowledge, how can you have knowledge about something that hasn't even happened yet? WP hasn't got the job yet, all he's done so far is be a caretaker coach, he's had very little chance to do any kind of team rebuilding.

What is true is that he's done far better than we could have expected in the roll. This being the obvious case why is the grass always greener elsewhere in your world. Sorry if that's not what you mean but it's how it comes across.

I'll be there tonight, shouting the lads on with little complaint so long as they are doing their best.

First of all I'm not assuming anything as I have no interest at all in Paul Anderson, his name came up in the context of your post, but seeing as you seem to have taken on the role of spokesman and agent for the aforesaid are you then saying that he no longer has the ambition to succeed in the game, as for Chester, he has now gone and comparisons are totally unnecessary with any coach unconnected to our club, lets face it you've had one or two failures yourself, maybe you'd like to throw they're names into the hat.

It's noticeable that you struggle to come to terms with anything Wakefield which you have confirmed on quite a few occasions, so it's no surprise with your preference for Anderson, and as for your mate Robbo maybe it's his gob what got him more responsibility with the shudds hierarchy over the quietly spoken Poaching, oh and as for me seemingly wanting him over a proven coach like Anderson, I don't remember saying I wanted anybody, as a matter of fact all I really want is for the club to make the right choice, choose who it is. HTH.

It may come as a shock to you but we are all allowed our own opinions it doesnt make them right and it doesnt make them wrong. Individuals dont have to agree with your opinions.for what its worth wp as done a decent job but most new coaches in wp postion do ok you only have to look at t smith and webster as an example.in my (and others too which you appear to ignore)i think this could be a case with wp and my opinion the club would be better served bringing fresh faces in not just as head coach but all 1st team coaching.this msy be better this may be worse as you rigjtly say we will never know as only 1 option will happen.this doesnt make me any less of a fan than you or anyone else or more of a fan for that matter.And when wp gets the job i wont be disgruntled ill be happy for him still purchasing a ST and supporting the team and club.

Regarding the lack of knowledge its the constant crap you accuse me of like i made summet up or heard in chippie etc as i always say you know nothing about me.

Anyway hope you enjoy/enjoyed the game

Poaching's win ratio now 71.4%
It still only has us 4th in the table, not as league leaders though

Think WP will be appointed, and why not.
The only blot on his application wold be away defeat against the bottom club.
Its totally baffling tome why the same players couldn't provide the same results under Chester.
I hope WP stands up and becomes a top coach and can provide Trinity with some long overdue success.
8 also hope the club can support him to the full.

Is it a blot? Truly great teams have lost to Trinity when we were the resident caller dwellers only to go on and win SL.

I really don’t get the fuss about the Leigh game, it’s not like they trounced us. They had a good day, is not so much, happens to all teams.

What matters is how you bounce back, in which case job done and point proved imho



If I had an issue and I don’t really, is not the Leigh game but last nights. We did switch off for 20 mins in the second half and that needs to stop. It was never going to be fatal last night but could be in big games next year.

One last thing, I’ve not given much credibility to the Miller rumour but I got the feeling last night that his was either a farewell performance or an I’ve just signed up for the rest of my career effort, couldn’t make it out.

Yes, I would happily have him back at Huddersfield. Knowing a person who has worked on the support side at giants for some time, who has seen coaches come and go the reports were Anderson has a big attention to detail, works hard, is very well organised and expects professionalism from his players.
WP has won a handful of games when the team has more of less picked itself. And there was no pressure in terms of wins or losses meaning anything. Let’s see what happens when he has 16 players unavailable and his spine decimated. Let’s see if he is able to build anything or is just adept at dealing with what he has.
WP could turn out to be a charm. It’s a risk- but a cheap one.

James Deighton on Radio Leeds last night said that interviews had finished on Monday and the remain8ng candidates were Poching, McDermott, Danny Ward and Andrew Henderson. JD said that he had heard that Henderson had particularly impressed the panel!! You would have to think that Willie is favourite at the moment. Me and the lads I go to rugby with were happy with all the candidates except McDermott.

We have an accountant running the club,what makes you think there maybe a different chain of thought when making such decisions

And WP will know that’s the ethos at the club. If McDermott gets the gig I fear for you. He hasn’t shown he’s able to coach without the big name players and facilities, with a large backroom to help him- things teams like wakey and hudds don’t have.

Why so much interest Jools, you dislike the Wakey club and have said so on a number of occasions.
Head coaches come and go but at Wakey they get more than a fair crack of the whip.

I just cant see that we won't give the gig to Poching given his results as caretaker. Would be a bold move at this point. Personally i'm always wary of promoting from within, I don't know why just a feeling, but Poching could hardly have done much more could he

Perversely it's good that there have been some losses in his run, to see how the team reacts afterwards. So far its it's tick.

Only my opinion but, how the hel can we consider Henderson, he may have had the gab & come across well, but, so did Mr Agar, Talk the talk !
He is not in the same street of quality as the other three,
But then, he will be cheaper than the other 3 - probably, we wont get Mc Dermott, he would want a good wage !
This could go massively poor - big time, however, I hope not !
WP or Mac for me, up the Trin.

So you would have someone who dislikes our club


Makes alot of sense, and what do you know of Hendersons credentials ? That would rule him out.

Good call mate, I’d suggest Jools should go and continue the borefest on the Shuds site but they’ve already cleared off and left her to it!

I’d be surprised if Willie doesn’t get the gig, but I had read previously how highly rated Henderson is in the game. I’m with you and your mates though, anyone but McDermott!

There should be no decision to make WP has served his apprenticeship as an assistant and he has proved enough to be given the head coach. I don’t understand why there should still be any decision to make.

I agree.

So do I he as got us playing rugby again

Wonder when we will actually find out who has the job. Were the interviews done last Monday as reported?
