Little piece on Sam Burgess in today's paper. He has spoken to Warrington and the ball is now in the Wolves' court. Burgess is basically waiting to hear if he will get the nod over other more experienced candidates.

That's the trouble with our squad. Too flaky.






Neither glass half full or empty. Just a realist.

If they sign him it would be difficult to go out in a Wire shirt again, we are already the butt of most clubs jokes. Bring him and all we do is give them more ammunition. I get the choices are hard since Holbrook said no but I’d rather we wait to get an experienced coach.

At least we’d win the social media trophy. It’s got Karl written all over it this one.

As long as an adequate mentor figure/director of RL was put in place to help him, then I don't have a huge issue with Burgess as head coach - The field is that thin that an appointment that is outside the conventional could turn out to be an ingenious one.






And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....

If we are considering Burgess I would hope we are looking at a model similar to Wigan where there is a mentor in place in case they need back up / support.
I know he is at the raiders but Michael McGuire would fit the bill as he was his coach at the Bunnies when they won the grand final.
Burgess would be a gamble but I just can’t see there being any coaches with the right level of experience being available so whoever we get would be a gamble to some extent.

When Wigan announced Matt Peet as coach I was a bit baffled. From what I have heard they decided on a long term plan to concentrate on bringing through Academy players and they were not expecting to lift a trophy for a while and they are ahead of schedule after lifting the challenge cup last year.
You only have to look at Sam Powell. They have decided that they were not offering another contract or reduced terms but instead of continuing to play him they have been throwing in a O’Neil. Experienced players like Singleton left out of the squad even when fit
It would be a miracle if we got anywhere near a grand final this year and we are not going to get relegated so time to set up for next year.
matautia, Ratchford, Dudson, Kassiano, Minikin, Dufty and Russell are surely not part of the long term future so for the rest of the year
Nicholson to 13 and Crowther at Second Row
Thewlis at Full back
Wrench at Centre
At least one of Green, Holroyd, Thomas (I know he is on loan atm) in the 17 every game and to play more than 10 mins.
Possibly take a look at some academy backs.

Well yes it would be ok if that’s the case but the way things are run now we would end up with Krusty the clown as DoR.

Thomas is only a 2 week loan so should be back before our next game.

I refuse to believe there are not MANY more suitable candidates available than Sam Burgess.
