Quote Biff Tannen="Biff Tannen"I would already say Hull FC and Catalans will be looking for a big improvement and pushing for the top four at least, Those are the two most likely to fire the gun mid season if they start bad. If Warrington don't make the top 4 Smith will be vulnerable, as will Anderson at Huddersfield if they don't. The Salford job is a merry go round anyway, and i don't think Hull KR will settle for anything less than a top 8 finish so Chester is under pressure. Cunningham will be expected to at least make a major final this year or he will come under real heat after a season of mediocrity by Saints standards. I think Betts has done a fine job with what he has at Widnes over the years but they don't really show any signs of kicking on (not that i feel they have the team to do so) but how long until the board feel he has taken them as far as he can and they need a change?
So yes i would agree, the only coaches i feel could have a mediocre/ below par season and still be in a job for certain next year are Mcdermott, Powell and Wane. Could be interesting.'"
Strangely, perhaps, I think Wane's the most vulnerable of them all. The limitations of his guile-free systems are now fully exposed and the Wigan club are the most psychologically disrupted by Leeds' supremacy.
