Some awful names being discussed- no real experience at "proper" coaching other than having played- sinfield others who have tried their hand at coaching and failed miserably -macnamara / long, massively outdated -noble.
This appointment will say very much about the club going forward I think.

Just out of interest, is there a coach available who you do want?

Craig Bellamy, Geoff toovey, Ivan cleary, Jason ryles, Gareth Brennan,
As a left field option- Ben Walker.

I believe they call them the Walker brothers who coach the "Ipswich Jets". In Australia
They play a very attractive open style of rugby, moving the ball about with regularity.
I think they come as a pair, which would be ok as we have no assistant coach.
Don`t know if they would be interested. But worth a punt in my opinion.

Roy Hodgson ?

Alias - THE MOTIVATOR!!!

I don't expect we will get any of the big names as they will be asking too much.
We will probably get some one like we did smith, someone with some previous experience who has successfully coached at the lower levels in the NRL and is looking to get on the ladder at a higher level.

I think we should take a lead from premiership football and appoint a coach with championship experience , so we will get promotion next season

glenn morrison

that sounds a good shout brearley will come cheap what the giants like and a aussie

Whoever becomes Coach will have to accept that Thewlis decides which players come and go.
Likes the Aussie players and the little arrangements with his favourite Agent. Two more due to sign from Bulls.
He will have a big say on who gets appointed. Another Yes Man !!!

Of course thewlis has a big say in recruitment. He has to balance the books. Not just for ken but to stay in the salary cap.

Thewlis usual trick is to offer reduced contracts and then cry when players leave. Easy to get around the salary cap put the partners on the payroll ? The RFL know what goes on, just look at the size of the squads and do the sums ! Good luck to Jake tomorrow ignor the idiots.

Garth Brennan in the sun sky think he is the next big thing

yep hearing same, looks like he's just been waiting for a chance to be given a top job!

yeh do the sums on our average crowds too compared to those clubs

He was one of those on my list! Let's hope there's a reason there's a piece on him in the media over here right now.....

good read on the sky sports web between us and hull kr hope we get him very highly throught off in aus

Spuggy the 'interim' coach then ? Pressure straight on him with the Mid 8 comp approaching fast.

toovey and south sydney assistant linked today, anymore for anymore

Schofield? Well he did play for us so that makes him a good choice for coach, yes?

There's a fair dinkum chance the new coach will be announced soon!!

Kelly reckons he will still be in place for the next game against KR.

After yesterday I'm quite happy with that,although he did lavish praise on Spuglicious for his major contribution to that win.

Is there any doubt that Spugs will be interim,depends for how long though.

Was the picture in the Examiner an omen showing Nathan and Brett together.
New coach and assistant?
