| Well that's certainly disappointing but as I have said a couple of times on here it was hard to believe how anyone of his status and current 'comfortable' position would want to come to our place particularly if they consulted players like Sneydy and read books like Gareth Ellis's or indeed watched us for half a game . Relocation is trotted out in these situations but it wasn't the reason Sneyd left or that Ian Watson didn't come of others I am less sure, but those I'm pretty sure about.
However he was exactly what we needed to give us half a chance of rising again as a Club and I guess we were spoilt by the media etc who announced he was our top target which of course there was little doubt he was, but that didn't help with the bite back there now is from the FC Faithful who were led to believe by media sources initially in Lancashire and 'leaked' to Sky presenters that it was a done deal. People are disappointed but I was told today that even potential loan signings who can't get in other teams, are wary of us.
We all know how far we have fallen but how he at least gave us half a chance of reviving our fortunes, so its a real bummer, but we have to get on with it I guess, however we need to accept as well that as far as the rest of the game is concerned the consistent reduction in quality of our recruitment and failure to replace like for like, the 'culture there seems to be at the club that has seen so many coaches come and go, the body language of some of our players during games and indeed perhaps even the demands of the greatest and most passionate fanbase in the game makes us, to outsiders looking in, damaged goods.
Those who have led us to this position and fiddled whilst Rome burned must take a lot of the blame for where we now find ourselves.
Where do we go now? Well it's hard to know, as I'm sure other targets will have a distinct feeling of being second best. That's not a ridiculous comment, as some say, but a fact of human nature. As managers in business you always keep your choice close to your chest until the person concerned accepts the job but in the goldfish bowl that is Rugby in Hull and a parochial greater game, that is impossible. So on we go but it's going to take a lot more than a few loan signings that no one else wants to put this mess right. So as Mr Myler searches for a pair of underpants to wear over his trousers, a win on Sunday would help enormously!!!!
So we move on and as always It's a good job we love em!!!!

Cokey doesn't see others views as anti-Leigh. If you think Lammy is not what you need, you're living on another planet. Keeping Lammy at Leigh is a massive statement of intent from our club, and that we will be challenging for honours with the big boys in superleague regularly for the next 3 years at least.

Clearly Lam is a great fit for Leigh, and I'm sure he will will continue to do well with you. That doesn't necessarily mean he would be a good fit for us. We are in a very different situation to the one you are currently in. Would Lam have been the right sort of coach to overhaul our entire club? It's a moot point now.

Yes, that's exactly what he's done at Leigh. Do keep up fella instead of guessing.

The problem is we don't really know what we need at the minute. Radford, Hodgson and Smith were all very different coaches with very different philosophies and all three failed miserably (well, Radford obviously had a period of success but things had descended into a shambles before he left). On paper Smith should have been a great fit, but he turned out to be the worst of the lot, and he himself is proof that just because a coach has been successful at one club that isn't necessarily going to translate to everywhere he goes. Lam himself had a very disappointing time at Wigan before he found a role that suited him at Leigh. It's a perfectly valid opinion to think Lam wouldn't have been the right man for the job, even if you disagree with that.
All we can really say with certainly is whoever ends up with the Hull job has a huge challenge on their hands.

| I feel Cartwright would be a good acquisition for us, at this stage an unproven Manager would be very risky, compared to Cartwright who had to mould a team from scratch in the inaugural season with the Gold Coast, which is what our scenario is currently.
I assume Briers has spoken to Myler about Cartwrights attributes, his man-management skills, style of play etc.
Maybe a few Broncos will join him if he's appointed.
Tristan Sailor???
