Steve man for the job

Aug 14 2008 by Dave Bettley, Runcorn and Widnes Weekly News

WIDNES chairman Steve O’Connor admits that he moved swiftly to secure the services of current coach Steve McCormack for next season’s campaign.

O’Connor said: “Steve has done extremely well in very difficult circumstances this year.

“He was the natural choice to appoint as head coach when I took over the club as he had twice taken Widnes to within touching distance of reaching Super League in previous seasons.”

He added: “My view has not altered – Steve is one of the most respected coaches in the game and still very much the man for the job.”
