COUGARS' new coach should be known by Tuesday. The last candidate will be interviewed on Monday then a decision made by the club's board of directors that evening.

The four in the frame have coaching pedigrees, one with Superleague experience, confirms Chief Executive David Farrar. He added: "We genuinely haven't made a decision yet and are still very open-minded."

Davide Longo's dreadful luck with injuries continues. Out all season with Achilles trouble, he returned for an A team try-out last week and took a heavy tackle. He suffered a broken femur and has kneecap and cartilage damage and is out long-term. Back in contention though for Sunday's home game with Oldham are Jason Lee and Martin Wood.

Karl Smith, Stuart Calvert and Alex Smits scored tries in the A team's 22-8 win at Oldham.

Chris Hartley got five goals. It followed on the back of last-gasp 17-16 win over Dewsbury. The Academy side triumphed 22-20 over Lancs Lynx.
