Chronicler of Chiswick Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Just demonstrates that the action of club owners and boards are more inscrutable than quantum mechanics. Twas ever thus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Future is League Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 2 hours ago, Blind side johnny said: Maybe they are getting wind of a change from P&R in 2023 so will be saving money on the coach and squad in order to invest in the ground. If so, expect an "up and coming" Championship coach to be brought in. To be honest they should have been improving their ground piecemeal since they entered Super League. yes they did some improvements add hoc, but in my opinion not enough. It is also my opinion that grounds will be part of the criteria for Super League soon, hence why in my opinion London Broncos have moved in with Wimbledon soccer club. in case they get promoted back to Super League.

Wholly Trinity Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Was surprised by this news, but you never really know what's going on behind the scenes. I will be less surprised if they've already got a replacement lined up ready to announce in the next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londonbornirishbred Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Didn't see that coming. Yes, they were terrible for chunks of the season, but when it mattered they looked pretty classy winning 4 from 5. Not sure what the owner expects, but it'll take more than a new coach to turn Wakefield into anything other than a 7th-12th side next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number 16 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I'm guessing that with the new stand going up maybe they have set their coaching aims higher as they expect to join SL's glitterati. Crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayCee Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 7 hours ago, Forever Trinity said: If you read the detail he was signed as head coach for 12 months at which point it would be reviewed, that review has taken place and an extension has not been agreed hardly a sacking. based on the full season and how we hit rock bottom after the Magic weekend its no surprise. It’s called click bait. The subject is worth discussing but the title is sensationalising and not an accurate description of what really happened. I was surprised he wasn’t offered a permanent contract but they must have their reasons. My blog: https://rugbyl.blogspot.co.nz/ It takes wisdom to know when a discussion has run its course. It takes reasonableness to end that discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wonder when I hear teams improve and a player revolt as to whether the players decided how to play in those few games. It did happen at Salford under one of the awful coaches we had (take a pick from Greg, McRae,Harvey etc) I don't recall which one it was though.

The Blues Ox Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 1 hour ago, ShropshireBull said: In two years Wakey will be one of the most attractive jobs in the sport with ground sorted, comercial online and chance to really compete. Next year it looks like the worst job possible with lowest budget (lower than Leigh and Salford might get a bit of playoff cash) but expected to stay up. I fully expect Wakey to be in the Championship in 2024, this seems to be the first year a team will get promoted and not automatically be the favs to go down. There is some real pressure on Wakey to stay up next year because I think the Championship will ruin them once the SL funding is taken off them. Without that I would put the other 2 teams in the championship with WF postcodes in front of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the SL Funding you could say that a few clubs in SL including Huddersfield, Salford, Wakey and maybe Cas. Yep next year it is the first year in 3 years that SL clubs will face a fair fight against relegation. Leigh will push them all the way. I honestly don't think they will, I don't expect Leigh to be in the relegation battle. Now they do have to get rid of some players but I think they will avoid the norm for the promoted team in just picking up what scraps are available and I think they probably look a good prospect now for any semi ambitious player.

Whoever does get promoted(i'm not counting any chickens just yet) will have a lot to thank Toulouse for, as no matter how prepared a promoted club is in terms of finances available and players signed, you are completely on the back foot if the club in 11th knows they are safe 2/3+ months before the end of the year. I am pleased though that the appointment of Lam/Chester has brought a change in the recruitment strategy away from the 1 year deals where the coaching staff were basically given full license to recruit a SL squad from May 1st without penalty if we didn't go up. The 1 year deals might have been the safer option but ultimately you need a 3 year sustained push to avoid the yo-yo. This is probably the earliest we've ever recruited going into a season, it's 2 years late but we actually feel 'SL ready' now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agbrigg Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 looks like Mark Applegarth. Talented bloke but far too early in his career to take such a huge step. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
