For the back half of last week it seemed a given that Mick Potter was going to be appointed sometime this week.

Did anyone notice on the weekend that Kevie was being mentioned as the potential coach again in a few articles over the weekend, including the one about Lote.

Im going to pose a few interpretations on this with absolutely no fact….perhaps this means that Potter may not be agreeing to terms or alike or the media jumped the gun last week, or the most likely the media is hedging their bets in the articels over the weekend.

Personally Im really hoping for Mick Potter, he has been my personal choice from the get go, so would be happy with him. I could live with Walters, but would rather someone with some success as a head coach.

jUST A QUESTION GOOSE, in your opinion you say Mick Potter has been yourt rlect from day one ,why ? what does Potter bring to Wests ? what are his credentials and why will he make a good NRL COACH .im not having a go , just interested in what people think he can do ,because to me his credentials are very limited.

Sure no probs.
I think that the available former nrl coaches are have all failed in the most recent attempts and in most cases have been a while out o the game.
Therefore i think the best possible experience is ESL coaching, there is a big difference between head coach and assistant coach. Mick Potter has had excelled in the ESL with sides of varying qualities, twice winning coach of the year. I think that is the best preparation for NRL.

Board meeting is Tuesday night (I think). So I would expect they would like to get some media coverage for their sponsors. So I would expect a press conference Wed lunch time to announce "Harry" Potter is the new man or maybe Kevie or another coach from left field

Brilliant supercoach - 'Harry' could be our man.
I know one thing for sure - if we do win the premiership in 2013 - then surely they'll be calling him Harry from the stands.

Harry Houdini?

perhaps the problem of appointing a coach is the money being offered it is simply not enough to entice anybody to do the job with tim being owed a million and balmain broke what else can we offer them free beer at five dock bowling club?

A fortnight ago there was a report stating that we had a board meeting TONIGHT and the board would decide at that meeting and announce it shortly after. It was the Tele that kept saying "an announcement will be today or tomorrow" last week. If the board are methodically going through the applicants so as to make the right decision(for once). I have no problem.

The funny thing about all of this everyone wants a coach in a hurry just realx we need to make the right decision and pay out Tim Sheens lucky it the off season and pre season hasent started just wait and see it should be done today or 2moro.

Whoever gets it has a tough job
- keeping Benji and Robbie happy playing letting them play with their mates
- getting a team to perform when the attitude is "it's not about winning and losing its about playing with your mates"
- appeasing the boards who seem all to have different agendas
- keeping the club above the factional board politics
And most importantly:
- appeasing the 14 yr old experts on this forum.

What a job! No wonder no real coaches wanted it.

**Potter to coach Wests Tigers: report**

The Wests Tigers are reportedly set to announce Mick Potter as their new coach.

News Limited is reporting the appointment could be made as early as Thursday after Potter edged ahead of rival candidates Kevin Walters and Matt Parish.

The former Dragons and Bulldogs fullback has enjoyed a six-year coaching stint in the English Super League and was named coach of the year during his time with Bradford.

Tigers boss Stephen Humphreys said he had sought advice from senior Tigers players as part of their search for Tim Sheens’s replacement.

"I've had some discussion with senior players," he told The Daily Telegraph.

"Not so much around, you know, should we pick candidate X or Y? More around style and what is needed right now at our place."

Humphreys also confirmed Sheens could still be with the club next season as the stalemate over the former coach’s payout continues.

"**Either he remains in a new role or it will be separation, it will be one of the two**," Humphreys said.
"We've said we will give him all the time he needs to think about that."
