Chris22 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Rumours abound on Twitter that a Super League coach may be sacked tomorrow. I'm struggling to think who it may be. Duffy at Leigh would be harsh. Maybe Powell leaving Castleford early? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hela Wigmen Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Marshall or Powell. If it’s Duffy I won’t be surprised but I will think it’s unjust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wholly Trinity Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Powell would be strange 3 days before a cup semifinal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Duffy but that would be very harsh, he's doing what he can with the cards he's dealt. My guess would be Powell. He's leaving anyway and Cas have started to go to pieces in recent weeks. Radford to start his new job a few months early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucky 7 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 My money would be on Marshall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Powell, he can then get on with preparing for his Wire job. I hope Cas don’t have to pay him off though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommygilf Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 None really "make sense" right now, as people have stated with cup semis, poor squads and upturns in form helping many. Before last weekend I'm sure Agar would have been top of the list for example. Perhaps Marshall at Salford? But not getting as much out of that squad as Watson did is no crime given how much they over achieved. As with any coach sacking, you have to have a replacement ready at hand imo and that's not a given for anyone but Cas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheshire Setter Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Would be a strange situation. Powell leaves a few days prior to a cup semi, but what about Sheridan and Mills who are also Warrington bound? Not sure it’s the best thing to do but I guess we’ll see, if it’s true.

Waynebennettswinger Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Given all the reasons spoken of above, the only sackings that would make sense would be Duffy or Marshall. There is very little expectation on Duffy and Marshall hasn’t had that much of a chance yet surely. I wouldn’t be stunned if it was Lam although I think that would be harsh.

Getting fired for losing one game away to a very good side, after an unbeaten start to the season is more than a little harsh! It would certainly send a message out to any potential coaches though. Whether that message is the right one I’m not so sure. Losing the cup quarter final hasn’t helped obviously but I would think Wigan would wait until the end of the season to see how the run to the GF goes.

If it is Mr Duffy although harsh on the lad it would show Mr Beaumont is not happy with what is happening performance wise with the player's available to the coaching staff - which comprises roughly 8 in number - but the head coach lives or dies with what is happening on the field of play. BUT, as you state there should be a replacement ready to step into the void, it can not be from within the club, there is no one with proven abillity to step up, and the absence of anything about on the RL rumour mill suggests there is no one lined up for the post. If it is Mr Duffy it should be noted that Leigh Centurions are haemorrhaging fans only those it seems already with season tickets will attend, a near 25% increase in admission prices will put off those from paying to watch a 'no hope' team, so carrying on as Leigh are doesn't seem to be an option for Mr Beaumont to contemplate, BUT if it is his coach who is going to be replaced it will have to be someone who ticks the right boxes, someone with no previous at the club, I have personally been very critical on Mr Beaumont's appointments his last four coaches have been Rowley, Jukes, Purtill and Duffy all past player's and entrenched at the club, still in my opinion 'one of the boys' and thus not commanding the respect deserved for the position, the job requires a strong character and disciplinarian, and that will cost financially, Leigh will be relegated at the end of this season, Wigan have already enticed two of the squad away and I expect there will be more players commiting to other clubs so any new coach will have to be given a budget for next term, interesting times ahead if you are a Leigh fan. But as yet we don't know if it is Mr Duffy or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wigan were so close to winning a Grand Final last year and up until recently were top of the league. I don’t think for a minute that Lam should go, it’s just a feeling. The expectations at Wigan are incredibly high, coaches have gone for less, so I just wouldn’t be stunned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see the point in bringing in another coach unless they are also set to announce a few quality mid season signings to try to push for survival.

I am not saying any of the above is true but i could understand reasons behind a change, perhaps, being a good thing. BUT i do think it would be harsh as he has a poor hand to play, however, if he is "losing the dressing room" then that is a problem. His job this year really is to keep the players heads up keep them positive try and get a few results and come back stronger next year. I just wonder if that positivity is something he is struggling with (understandably).. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which all comes with expierence RP, my opinion, he was to early in his coaching career for an head coaches job at a SL club, he had not been in that environment previously he should have been an assistant serving an apprenticeship somewhere and building a reputation.
