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?

id think it will be brennan

It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest that Huddersfield could be that dumb.

Reports from OZ reckon that Rick Stone is strongly tipped to be your new head coach

I'm underwhelmed

really good nrl experience with newcastle, worked under the master wayne bennett for a long time too

add international coaching with fiji and he ticks the right boxes for me!

last piece about him on his sacking from newcastle and he looks like hes into bringing youngsters through

was interested in coaching in sl...

Sounds very much like NB. Strong start, fitness issues, people "letting him down" (code for lost the dressing room?) wants a top Aussie job so will use SL as a springboard - jump ship at the earliest opportunity???
He didn't do very well at the Knights- Having said that he took over from Wayne Bennett who did badly, and NB took over from stone at the knights and hasn't faired any better. They are not just losing but getting hammered- been a few 50 point drubbings this year.
My main worry is that when Stone got the job at Newcastle Wayne Bennett refused to endorse him and intimated he didn't think he was a good coach.

A short contract is the answer, to see if they are any good, If they are confident they will accept that to prove themselves , whoever they are.

I agree- but are hudds smart enough to see that -or will it be a four year contract ..

Hes on the sort list according to this. https://www.facebook.com/nothingbutknig ... =3&theater
