I will be genuinely gutted if McDermott gets the job

Thing is I don’t like the bloke but I think Big Mac will earn the respect from the squad and fan base pretty quickly. He’s made comments in the past but we can’t do anything about it so get behind the bloke or go support saints as they win it every year. I remember people moaning about Hardaker when he signed and as soon as he was playing well everyone loved him so It’ll be interesting seeing everyone’s opinions on big mac this time next year.

Whoever the new coach is, I'm confident all Cas fans will get behind him, me included.

Some pills would however be hard to swallow.

McDoughnut would be particularly difficult for me.

I do belive the Cas board have some semblance of intelligence.

Probably not much, but some.
I remember Peter Small

Good post.

I've never been Brian Mac's biggest fan but I think there are worse options out there - McNamara being one and what would be my worst nightmare.

IF BM is the chosen one, he will bring passion & experience. His track record is above decent. He could put a more steely edge to our pack.

Who knows but his appointment wouldn't reduce my passion for the club.

My worry is that it seems like a bit of a Millward appointment.
On paper. a successful coach; in reality, the success was achieved with a team who would have been successful under Frank Spencer.

IF McDermott is our new coach can someone explain to me what he's built up himself and what positive he's done and where...

He made his name with London. Did a great job with limited resources.

Four Grand Final wins.
Two Challenge Cup wins.

That’s four more GF wins and two more Challenge cup wins than us.

I asked what he'd built up himself....I believe the building was done by DP, Tony Smith, etc

My mum could have coached that team.

Likewise Millward at Saints.

Taking the reigns of a golden era isn't building up it's being in the right place at the right time. We'll see how he fairs when he's not got the likes of Shinfield Peacock Maguire Burrow etc.

He won grand finals after players like Senior, Sinfield, Leuluai and Peacock retired, after players like Donald, Webb, Ellis and Moon left. That, in my opinion, means that he rebuilt key components of the team beyond “the golden era”.

You asked what he’d done that was positive. Winning 7 major trophies is pretty positive in my eyes.

He had a weaker side in my eyes in the 2017 grand final and his side had took some hammerings from cas he still got a performance out of Leeds good enough to beat us I've no question about his ability as a coach and in that respect we've not gone for the cheap option if the rumour is true

Maybe Fumper but apart from all those trophy wins what else has he done?

Don’t forget he will be taking over from the best coach in SL who once on the LL shield 4 years ago.

The fact that BM out coached him in. 2 finals should not count for anything.

Danny award and Danny Orr don’t forget both know the club already as well and look what their track records are?

Seriously that is the most ridiculous question I have ever seen asked on here unless it is a wind up?

Maybe Fumper but what did he do himself? Apart from just sitting around not doing much those trophies and team rebuilds all happened naturally without any input from a coach.

You need to be more specific Fumper and stop using facts :dance:

DP is certainly an hard act to follow whoever gets the job and does not KO their first season with a good number of wins will soon be dragged through the mud, lets hope the powers that be pick the right fit for a club like ours
