[Bullseye]

I think Wane would be the best choice, followed by Flanagan. Or you could spring a surprise with an up and coming coach like Watson or Ward but I doubt that will happen unless the powers that be want to be able to have a say – something Wane would not put up with.

Personally I hope Agar gets a 10 year contract

If we go British, we deserve everything we will get. A disaster that would be, whoever it is, and I am including Powell too. Needs someone who does not know the players, and had nothing to do with them. Sort the poop out.

Shaun Wane with Richard Marshall is my gut instinct. Would prefer Demetriou with Marshall as assistant though.

Flanagan for me.

Much as I’d like Dave Furner, I don’t see that one happening. I’d also be a bit surprised if any Aussie is willing to move his family half way around the world for what could be a short stay.

I think we are looking at Wane, and he will do it through gritted teeth. Hope I’m wrong.

This stinks...

Flanagan or Wane for my two pennies.

Yeah I’m not sure Dave Furner would be up for it to be honest

Betfred have put up a market on the new coach and Richard Marshall is their early favourite. That would be some feat to parlay his most recent result - a 56-4 hammering in the Championship two weeks ago - into the head coaching job at one of SL's most successful teams!

I think this could be a real issue.

If you were an Aussie you can see how they may see Furner as been hard done by here and think twice about moving you family around the world for a short stay if results aren't instant.

Given our issues appear defensive and structural wane is the natural and available to solve those things but many would be reluctant to see him at Leeds.

This is a tough and important call for the club. Get this one wrong and you have to stop querying the coach and look at the management structure above.
