Mallinder gone

[Mellsblue]

Can't see King returning after the way he was treated.

Very true. I bet he’s having a little giggle to himself today, though.

Lancaster?

I thought Tom was busy reluctantly offering to take the role of Head Coach himself?
"We'll cross that bridge if we come to it. If I was asked to do it for the benefit of the team, I'd consider it very carefully and probably front up."

Any rumours being circulated Adam? They must have some one lined up I'm guessing.

Nothing yet apart from pure conjecture.

I wonder if Harry will see out his contract to 2020 now?

I truly hope so - this could be the making of him to not have dear old dad condoning his flaws and allowing him to be tackling-optional.

Danny wilson to be head coach? He was linked as coming in as a forwards coach but he has head coach experiance.

Hepher and Hunter to return to the gardens together to replace Mallinder and West please

[Which Tyler]

Convincing Hepher to leave his current job, will need one hell of a pay rise, and will HAVE to be head coach surely, which may lose you Dickens if he doesn't screw up over the next 6 months

[Stom]

You can have Kingston and Easter...

[Adam_P]

Other ex-Saints I wouldn't mind nabbing are Pat Lam and Bruce Reihana, though I think that is probably equally unlikely. As I said on another thread the other day, knocking back Ackerman in the off-season was incredibly stupid, especially so now.

[Tigersman]

Would cost around £1-2 million to buy out Lam contract and thats if he even wanted to move from the big bucks.

Reihana is a good shout.

[Tigersman]

Heres a question with Saints 14 points clear of Irish at the bottom do they start to use the rest of this season as a transition or should they carry playing the team as is?
For example giving the Onojaife brothers some more game time?

Please don't steel Deano

I’d put money on someone from the Southern Hemisphere. Probably a Saffa or Kiwi, but maybe Deans.
Lancaster seems a good shout. Possibly Hunter from Exe. If they look to the Champ, possibly Rayer from Bedford (I bloody hope not) or the chap at Doncaster.

Lou Macari?

Don't think for one second this will deflect me from the fact you championed Mallinder to replace Lancaster.

‘tis true.

Don’t think Mally (yes that was the name he would have gone under had he been appointed) has become a bad coach. Free of West he and Saints will prosper, hopefully under the guidance of Rayer

I will note that West hasn't actually gone. He's still present and was actually name-checked in the board's statement as helping Dickens.

Don’t think Wally (yes that was the name he would have gone under had he been appointed) has become a bad coach. Free of West he and Saints will prosper, hopefully under the guidance of Rayer

I’ve corrected that for you.

[Mellsblue]

Wayne Smith must be the priority target.

He'll make a charlie of him yet.

If Mike Ford goes he will stay IMO.

He will slowly over the season weed himself into the board and then get given it full time.
