Prefer the javelin meself.

Just read this in the YEP online - think they got the better deal out of this swap.

i don't. willie was a lovely guy, very under rated player but did a sh*t job coaching the u20's

Give over. On what sane basis can anybody say that?

The guys done an absolute shocking job with our under 20's since been put in that position.

Don't really like piggy Lowes and always had a soft spot for Willie.

I don't like Lowes either, I think he's a turd. But however good guy Willie was, he was a shockingly bad coach. His record clearly shows that.

One things for sure, if we end up top 4 next year the coaching we have brought in will have done a fantastic job. Yet anyone would think we will be lucky to make top 8 with the way they have been written off.

I still remember Lowes making that gesture to Leeds fans .

I still remember Ellery Hanley doing something similar also in his Wigan days.

Should we have not signed him aswell?

I can think of a few reasons why I wouldn't have gone for Lowes, but sticking the fingers up at some dipsticks is not one of them.

but Lowes did it as an ex leeds player Hanley up to then never played for Leeds and had endured a lot of stick from Leeds fans.
When player's leave clubs that they have served for a number of season's they dont usually go over the top with celebration's if they have any feeling for the club.
Having said that I am preparedto give Brian macdermott a chance and trust his judgement up to now

Since Poching took over the under20 side, what have they achieved?
I rated him as a player but have seen nothing in him as a coach to believe that we've not got the best out of all this recent business.
It's an odd world though aint it?

Got to say i'm hapy willie has moved on ,great player for us but as many have stated but he had a shocker with the u20's and was on his way out with Cummings no matter if Bluey had stayed or not.
Again with the Lowes appointment he would'nt of topped my list either but Brian Mc wanted him and GH seems happy to apoint him so time will tell.
