Justin Morgan staying or leaving ? UPDATED 4th Aug Hull KR announce Morgan to leave

Justin Morgan was asked by the Hull Daily Mail to clarify his position at Hull KR for next season after reports suggest he has been interviewed for the soon to be vacant Castleford job and also reports in The Sydney Morning Herald linking him to the New Zealand Warriors .
Morgan stated he would happily stay at Rovers and that he was 100 % committed and would not comment on speculation .
He said he was very happy at Rovers and had a very strong relationship with the players and chairman .
What he didnt say was NO im not interested in those jobs .

Will this stop the rumours ?
Dont think so, Justin is a good young coach and other teams will be interested .

Do i agree with everyting he does ? No . Somethings have been handled poorly this season but the board need to take some of the blame , my one real qualm is not enough young players given chances rather then senior players playing out of position .But hes the coach and its him who gets the flack .

I hope he stays , i just wish he would just come out and say he is .

He's nobodys fool.he is an intelligent man. I agree with you that he hasn't done enough to promote your players. I honestly think that IF he is offered a head coaches job at NRL he will take it, he would be a fool not to, and as i've said he's nobodys fool.

Like i said i dont want to see him go but if its to the NRL then i would understand it as the oppertunity doesnt come around often .

Think Brian McLennan has the inside running on the Warriors job, however it is fair enough that the Warriors look at other candidates to and Morgan knows the culture of the club having played there. Personally, I'd like to see Bluey take the role

the article did say something about both going with Morgan as coach and Mclennan in a coaching director role . cant get the article to linkup

I have total respect for Justin Morgan, but after today it might be a case of him jumping before he's pushed. It's all gone horribly wrong for him at rovers.

I think Justin will be mortified by Rovers display today , still got the play offs to go for then we will see what happens , like ive said id like him to stay but i really dont know if he will .

If he was unsure as to what to do i would think his mind is made up now.

Why would he get the Warriors job?

He's keeping his options open, KR are keeping their options open.

Kear's staying at Wakey etc To early to say which coach is going where.

Shame he's leaving , but we move on .

John Kear early favourite among fans , Brian Noble and current assistant coach Andrew Webster aslo possibilities .

It is a shame he's leaving. He's built a decent side there. Maybe someone else might me able to move them forward.

I always thought he was a good coach. He's probably taken them as far as he can, but i've no doubts what so ever, whichever side he coaches next will improve under him.
