Difference for me this time is we have a (seemingly) determined DOR making the choice and not Adam with a Hail Mary.

Dont know what to make of the Asiata statement on the Leigh website.

Mountain molehill

Chan announced on an initial 2 week loan deal. Could see him staying most of the season unless Wigan have some monster injuries

You can’t reject by association. That’s unfair on him. If he progresses us the rest of season why pick anyone else? What can he do if it’s normal for teams to pick up after a coach is sacked! As I say the next few games will tell us if he deserves the job so let’s keep him on the shortlist. So far I’d keep him

Myler's first presser today

He also spoke about Whitehead

“No, Elliott is not one I’ve spoken to on a contract level,” Myler revealed.

“He touched base about an assistant coach he knew that was looking for a job who he knew, that’s as far as that went. If he wants to come back to England we’d be interested in a conversation. He’s that mould of leader and high-performing individual we’d be interested in.”

Gunna be Grix....

I'd be surprised and disappointed.

I guess Myler can hardly say that Grix has no chance of getting the job on a permanent basis.

After Matt Shaw said he's the favourite yesterday, now Myler today saying he's in pole position. Feels like we're being prepped for them unveiling him.

If we beat London and Cas then put a decent performance in the week after I think it'll pretty much confirm it. They can spin he's turned things around. We won't want to be coachless for too long either

There's no need for you to be in any rush surely.

If Grix is a genuine candidate then why not see how he does over the next few weeks. If he impresses offer him a ONE YEAR deal for 2025. If he doesn't impress then move on you are not any worse off.

When Tony Smith took his bat and ball home at Rovers I suggested we go for Jason Demetriou. We went for Willie Peters and it has worked out very well. And of course things have since gone pear shaped for Demetriou at South Sydney.

I still think Jason Demetriou has a lot to offer his previous coaching record was exemplary. And perversely his failure at Souths makes him more available.

There are no guarantees of course but you are spending a bit of money now and the more you do that the more attractive you will be to potential coaches. I don't see a stack of clubs wanting to compete with you for Grix so it would be silly to tie yourselves to him unnecessarily.

Firstly, it’s refreshing to hear from the club on a whole host of topics, hopefully this level of communication continues going forward.

It does feel like Rowley was the only real target we had initially, and that Grix is realistically next in line to be offered the role permanently. If he does get a tune out of this side, along with the potential for new and better players in 2025, then it may be a decent appointment.

On the player front, I’m certain he said we’re at contract stage with 6/7 players, I dunno if that’s both current players and new, or just new, but either way it sounds like he’s been a busy man behind the scenes.

For all his inexperience Richie Myler speaks bloody well and every time he talks about the future of this club, I feel he gets it and it gets me excited. Gone are the days (hopefully) of mediocrity. How great would it be to have two hull teams competing at the top of super league. Fingers crossed it’s delivered.

Demetriou would be a good call. Unlikely to get a head coach role in the nrl any time soon so could be tempted by another spell in the uk. Would be pleased if we did go for him
