Whilst I appreciate that JK has joined Bulls, presumably on a full-time basis, and as there is no real conflict of interests due to our respective league positions, if he could be put into a sort of "retainer/advisor position with WT. In the way that we can loan players out to other clubs with dual registration etc why can't the same happen with team management? Especially as today's WE explains how JK left the club with a very heavy heart.

Chris Chester

You jest but I bet he's had his CV shipped by special 24-hour delivery.

Paul Cooke would be a great coaching acquisition, he’s been outstanding at Doncaster and Leigh.

I agree. I firmly believe that players who made a lot of mistakes and did not reach their true potential as players and he made more than most make the best coaches. Or alternatively players who never really made it as top players but never stopped trying or finally those who's careers were cut short by injuries. Brain Clough and Alex Ferguson are two classic examples.

Peter Fox is a great example as is Kear in RL.

I think it's all to do with empathy and an understanding of players weaknesses as well as strength. I think top players who had it all including the winning attitude often seem to lack patience and the ability to see beyond the obvious.

Just my opinion.

Can't see that happening mate, JK's full time and his energy and concentration will be needed sorting the Bulls out and we know he doesn't do jobs half-arsed.

Yeah. I think a lot of us have heard what a good job he's done since turning his hand to Coaching and tbh that's the best call yet, short list mind.

Really I am no coach and no intention to be one I am a speccy that's all! but its a fact that in order to win you have to out score the opposition no qualifications required for that.

Thanks for the pop at what was a reasonable answer to point posed

He caused quite a few problems between the players at Leigh if you believe what the fans say.

Which is exactly why no one should listen to what 'fans' say. Fans just want scapegoats not facts.

Simple question without a 3 paragraph reply, a yes or no will do, does your post include you?

Just read the full thread for the answer it's pretty obvious.
