You reckon we have the remotest chance of attracting a #1? Without a sugar daddy to pay the cost?

I believe that if I say it like i mean it, I might actually believe it myself.........!

We still after who i said.

I expect we will see St Hilaire also go at the end of the year. I just hope we hang onto Evans, he seems to be doing a good job so far.

Not with crowds of 8234 against a side who brought a reasonable away support. I was hopeful we would break the 10k mark today given our good form and the fact it was Hull KR in town.

From that list I would quite like Bellamy but I think thats unrealistic, an NRL assistant capable of the same impact Brown and Mcguire have had, is an option, but whoever it is needs to have continueing the excellent junior development as his number 1 and 2 priorities.

So without knowing enough about current NRL assistants, from that list I'll go with the ex bulls legend who is big on junior development and is quite good at winning at Wigan! (I said last week McDermott was not as bad a call as some had been saying, and thankfully he backed me up this weekend.)

how about Hull KR Justin Morgan

I feel "the beaver factor" is going to play a huge part in the coaching set up next year.

Assistant - Beaver (maybe playing assistant)
Head Coach - Nrl coach or assistant coach after a persuading conversation from Menzies.

Menzies takes over after 2/3 years....

Who dat?

Is " 's th" instead of "d" really that much harder to type?

Aye, he showed up really well yesterday.

9234 actually, but point taken - it's still disappointing.

[url=http://www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague/results/THIS[/url has it down as 8,234.

[url=http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/sport/8119196.It___s_business_as_usual_as_Bulls_hit_peak_form/T&A[/url has 9,234. So does [url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2010/apr/25/bradford-bulls-hull-kr-super-leaguethe Guardian.[/url

Interesting. And the Bulls website doesn't appear to have it on at all.

9,234 would be better as at least that would be over our average this year (when I saw the 8k figure I was amazed we were under the average for the KR game).

I would be looking to use Beaver as an advisor on this. His influence has been huge in our player recruitment and should be on the coaching appointment.

he is rightly considered a legend in Australia and he is a big draw when recruiting from Oz.

one thing we should learn from looking at our history in the SL era is that a forward thinking coach can make a difference, and his methods can be developed and improved long after he has gone. it is hard to believe that Brian Smith was only in this country as our coach for 12 months! his influence has been directly felt here for 14 years. we need to refresh and do the same again. build another dynasty. whether Anderson (part of the Brown revolution) or Brian MAc ( one of the Smith disciples) can do this YET is a big question.

Who will be the first one spotted at the stadium I wonder? I know that the club have already received applications for the post and I'm sure they'll be keen to start interviewing soon.
Cue a series of "I saw Hood talking to xxxx in McDonalds" and "I saw xxxx's car in the Odsal carpark" and "xxxx is looking for a house in Bradford" type posts.

Well this poll proves one thing, MBBB has at least 4 aliases.

think from english coaches will be brain mac as fav with noble 2nd for job if from oz would like des hasler with menzies as asistant but think could be more like jason taylor or steve foulkes be intresting to see as think bulls will have a lot of intrest in job

Until the candidates find out the constraints within which they'll have to work!!

(P.S. I do wish people would stop intimating that Brown was an assistant coach in the NRL, he was HEAD COACH of the Dragons from 2003 until the end of 2008 - hardly a rookie when he went to Huddersfield!!)

An inconvenient truth for the Tendency formally known also as the Sacca da Macca Brigade.

Has Eddie anointed a successor yet? I know he prefers firing to hiring hut he's got a whole list to go at now.

On that list the only decent option apart from Bellamy is McDermott. With him I'd expect pretty much the same as you've seen from McNamara, with perhaps more emphasis on a forward oriented & defensive gameplan. McRae could be alright, it has been a while since he's been able to work with the calibre of players available at Bradford.

Menzies might be worth a punt, but surely he would be best taken on as an assistant?

John Sharp could be a contender, why is he not in the poll? Underrated as a coach but hardly inspiring either.

I'd steer well clear of Lowes. If the full cap money is not there you may as well give up on Cullen & Millward as well.

Whats the odds on McRae with Robbie as assistant???

not sure about they had a good falling out over what Robbie said on the super league show and Robbie wants to go into the more media side of the sport I think someone said
