Following a series of five consecutive Super League losses, Luke Robinson was let go from his position at the Accu Stadium in late March. Since then, Liam Finn has taken over as interim head coach and has expressed interest in the position on a permanent basis. According to Andy Kelly, the Giants' director of rugby, Cartwright, who recently stepped down as head coach of Hull FC, is also being considered for the role.
Kelly stated that the club is meticulously reviewing a list of candidates, with Cartwright being one of the coaches they are interested in. The director of rugby emphasized the importance of making the right appointment, citing the need for a coach with a clear vision for the team's future and the ability to manage the squad effectively. The recruitment process has been slowed down by the club's desire to align their player recruitment strategy with the potential coaching appointments.
Kelly noted that the coach will have a significant say in recruitment decisions, and the announcement of the new head coach will be made once the club is certain of their choice.
