i was talking to my dad before and apparantly Kurt Sorenson is the favourite for the job!!!!
not sure how true that is since because he is currently in austraila
but that would be some story wouldn't it?
anyone got an opinion?

Has he coached since he retired? as a world class player i wouldnt want him to come back and take stick as a coach.

i think he coached workington in there short spell in super league but i think thats it
would be an incredible move and very interesting to see ow he did
although maybe he wouldnt be cut out for the job

It would be great to see King Kurt back at Widnes. But im not sure whether he'd be experienced enough to take the role of Head Coach.

Back at the club doing something I would not mind but as coach A BIG NO



If this happens I will show my

in Woolworths window

Well if your Dad says so then it must be true.

just seeing if anyone has heard anything thats all
people were discussing it at the widnes moorfield match on saturday
im not saying its true because lets face it it probably isn't
so has no one heard this rumour?

People say 'who do you think our next coach will be?'

Next person 'I wouldn't mind them giving Sorenson a go'

Next person ' Did you know they're giving Sorenson a go?'

And so on!

As much as legend Kurt is, and always will be in Widnes, he doesn't know the game or the players enough at our level to be our next head coach.

he would be a great motivation for our younger players though
seeing there hero from their childhood could have a great impact
however the chances of him getting the job are probably very small as he is happy in australia and owns a bar over there
still paul cullen for me

I bet you the beer there knocks you back for six!

I think their used to it there always doing that against the English Cricket and League side.

There's a pretty good joke about aussie beer being like having sex in a canoe...

kurt always gave 100 percent for you even in 92/93 remember the try against wigan in final

so i think he would make an excellent coach

Coached at Whitehaven and did a pretty decent job for us , left for Town and was probably worst move he ever made.Never coached since i dont think

So was he a better coach than ste mac whitehaven fan?Ste mac tactics are up the middle.Dont get me wrong we need some big forwards to get the yards.One big prop would sort our team but needs be a leafa type of player.

couldnt compare really ,Steve inherited a side that was slowly being put together by Paul Cullen, He had some very strong foundations with the the 3 Kiwis Lester,Joe and Fats and likes of Seeds who were there.But he also brought in people like Sam Obst and Mick Nanyn and we had an excellent squad.
Sorenson came when the club was having a poor period about 93 ? and the directors wanted a higher profile coach.He was player coach and wasnt here to long but achived some very good results like beating top of the table sides Keighley and Workington. Good old Cougar Mania remember that , tough side to beat then!
Who knows how good he would have been or what he may ahve achieved, as he left to take charge of Town who had just won promotion....think he only coached handfull games for them before he was sacked for poor start.
