oz coach

now we no that it is going to be an oz coach,!! league express !!(brown,folkes,simmons),who would you like to see and why?

Anyone who does something with the club.
I would say Simmons prob has the best chance with club connections etc, but Foulkes' name has been banded about a fair bit.

Toss-up really, from what I have seen of Aussie games this season, Simmons (West Tigers) play an open type game, plenty of off-loading and full back Hodgson linking up in attack once in the opposition half.
Foulks (Bulldogs) play a more forward dominated game trying to wear the opponents down with big drives, with a lot less close off-loading, but do bring the three-quarters in with conventional passing when needed.

Of the above two Simmons is more likely to play the British style, and Foulks a similar style to the old Bradford style of 13 years ago.

Then lets have Simmons for me, I certainly dont want to watch the Bradford style you are talking about, I know it got them a lot of success in the first 8 or 9 years of Super league, but they have never got much change out of Saints. They play the sort of game we should be aspiring too, and if it's true that we now spend up to the cap limit, i can see no reason why it can't be brought about by the right man,

I am wondering about simmons, thisa is what themanonthehill posted about him on rlfans

Please take royce simmons from us
He is an utter clown and is trying desperately to get the tigers a wooden spoon in addition to the one he got at Penriff
He is an out of his depth, backwards, useless, clown. If he left i'd dance for a week

granted his 1st post, but makes you wonder why it was posted in the first place.

As a wind up maybe to dampen our enthusiasm when he's announced.

so is he going to be our next coach then?

I would prefer folkes myself lol, but I don't have a say really

These 3 are top quality coaches. Whoever it is I just hope he can get here to have a say on any new signings for next season.

just got a feeling that it will be simmons,because of the west tigers connection.

Just what my thoughts were Boz.

I am wondering if he will be good for us and the right choice?

just like we wondered who the hell smith was?

very true, but I was not watching them then
But look at how he turned out a Great Coach

fingers crossed we get the right man again

That's all we can do

to true

The thing is that we are in a great position to do just that, thanks to KD.
Lets hope he DOES set the right man on. He would be doing himself and all the time and money he has put in, an injustice otherwise.

That's true reidy, and all the things they go through like the test too, sorry could not spell it lol

S'alright luv. I used to dislexic, but I'm KO now.

It's just not that easy to pick the right guy. I know some disagree with me, but we've done well the last two times, but before that, we have to go back a fair while to find a decent coach.

we had a couple more. I thought Van Der Velde did ok and then it was, god my mind has gone blank, he was in charge the season we beat Hull in the premiership. Steve ...... oh god it will come to me.

Could Ferres be the name you are seeking Matt

Van Der Velde

Weren't he a detective?

Another Alex Murphy type would do me. Even well paid full time players of today need a kick up the jaxy now and then.
And if a star player is under performing drop him and bring a second teamer in.
