Seemed inevitable after the six nations comments.

Interested to see who ends up there, plenty of the season to go still but bound to have an effect in the playing squad, I think if they don't have a clear pathway to next season and people in place, players will be able to talk to other clubs.
Right now, there is no continuity so if you are out of contract, they can't be clear who will be your boss next season.

I am not sure who else in SL would go there, you can't win. If you win a trophy every year, that is what is expected (rightly or wrongly there). Not sure why you would bother.

Of that list, who would go there?!
Lam's family are still in Aus, this is a one year gig I read. Paul Deacon is a good shout, not sure they would go with someone without top level experience, same with Demitriou. McNamara would go wherever I suppose.

For me, the easy choice would be Ian Watson. Done a fab job at Salford, brought on some young players such as Evalds. Maybe seen as a cheap option but someone who knows the league, lives down the road.

But they'll probably fly someone from the NRL across. There'll be an assistant who wants a gig.

Think it is probably a choice between Betts and Lam (if they want it) and possibly Tony Smith, if he's remotely interested in returning to coaching. Not so sure that Wigan are as flush with cash as they always were, to be able to raid other clubs for their coaching staff.

I agree with you Hudds, Betts, Lam or any other of the UK based names I don't think would be appeasing given where they are in the table, so probably end up going abroad, perhaps with Betts or Deacon in the staff too.

I do know Deacon is very highly educated in, and well thought of across sports coaching for what that is worth.

Its still one of the biggest jobs in Rugby league. Chester might not get other big chances than this. Though to the detriment of wakey as he'd want a few wakey players and knows their contracts.

Not a chance Chezzy will leave Wakey so it’s immaterial.

That is one of those phrases, in sport that have a habit of biting one on the bottom.

Likely, I am not sure, but would never say not a chance.

But surely he would want to double his wage and a chance of silverware? Wakey (or cas) isn't the pinnacle of rugby league and how long does a coach have in reality, maybe 10 years?

Very few English coaches go to oz and coach as the head coach so this is it. If wakey have a big injury crisis and look like being relegated, they'll chop him to try and stay up. Who wants a losing coach, Richard agar enthusiasts take note.

John kear has had a lifetime coaching but I don't think he had enough to retire and he's a rarity.

Tbh. I don't think he's the man for them. He has done miracles at wakey and they wouldn't want him to go.
