I agree the second row needs some attention and we have a bit of dead weight but even so there is far more potential in our current squad than has been shown thus far. If it can be extracted somehow then that'll go a long way to improving matters.

I know they have been shopping Griffin around but no takers as of yet.

I rather bin Evans than Taylor, at least we would have a non fed place to play with, no good paying off Taylor if we can't replace him.
Griffin, we could use his money to sign Longstaff.
I wouldn't be disappointed with Shaun Wane, however his only club coaching role was at Wigan. I accept that it has it's own unique pressures however it's not the toughest job in Rugby League. He hasn't experienced a club or situation like ours. So I'd personally prefer Smith, he has that more rounded experience.

When has opinion and sense ever gone hand in hand?

That’s my view too, as good as he was at Wigan he’d only ever coached there. From the youths upwards. Would he have the same passion moving to a completely new club he has no previous ties too? I’m not sure.

Agree Dave. Seems ridiculous to not want him because he had a nightmare season as a player 13 years ago. Smith wanted him when he was at Rovers so obviously rates him.
