Or should that be "finally a suggestion that I can publically fully endorse"?

Seems to suggest that Mac had put him top of a list of replacements he was probably asked to complete for DH.............

| Lowes may not have been overly successful at Wire when in sole charge....but that experience would have taught him alot...couple that with him being on the inside and seeing how Tony Smith has turned that team around...and I'm sure he will be far more savvy than before.
I guess we'll just have to watch this space!

| The problem with employing any Northern coach is what happens if the family aren't prepared to relocate or find that they don't like living in London. It's the main reason that I'd be looking for an up and coming member of the coaching staff of an NRL club.

| There have many `significant`moments in our club history and the selection of our new coach must be one of them.....what we need to take us forward is a quality coach with (hopefully) a decent track record....the last thing we need is another assistant coach chancing his arm or using us to further his apprenticeship.
Hopefully DH will sort out the off-field issues because at this moment the clubs stock is about as low as you can get........if we are to survive as a club we need a coach who is able to build on the youth development and achieve significant improvement on the field. We do not need another bland, non-personality, mediocre but cheap chancer.

I think that is being incredibly harsh on Mac. In debating parlance I call on you to withdraw Sir.

Strangely enough I wasn`t necessarily refering to BM but the broader motley crew being suggested in Kevin Walters, James Lowes and Karl Harrison........but you can add BM if you wish!!!
You sir are a bounder....and IMO we do not need a low profile non-entity as coach.......a quality, media savvy coach with technical nouse will improve our chance of success and demonstrate that the club have aspirations and are serious about taking RL forward in London.

| I dont care who the coach is( well i do really, a good one). I just hope who ever it is can teach them to catch and keep hold of a ball for a whole set of six tackles, and if they happen to score at the end of it then i be ever more happier..

Hmm the last coach we had who fitted said bill was not exactly a roaring succes though.

| My concern is that a low profile appointment sends all the wrong messages and the coach will be up against it before he has even started, let alone making improvement and taking the club forward. There are no certainties, but the odds of making some improvement must surely be higher with a respected and known quantity.
If you look at Kevin Walters in post match interviews he looks and sounds every inch a broken man.....how on earth would he be good for Quins. James Lowes is probably a very good assistant, but may will always struggle as a head coach (the same might be said of BM), so why go down this road again. I also think some forget how poor Salford were when Karl Harrison got the elbow.

| Why appoint an interim coach for the off season? Surely we should be appointing a Head Coach ASAP to be involved in player recruitment before pre-season starts? If they think Rob is the man for the job - give him it!!

I guess the only reason for an interim coach is to acccelerate the process of actually assembling a team. There is no way that Rob Powell should be be a permanent coach.

You are, of course correct......Italy tour in September and then the Pakistan game in October, back with us in time for pre-season training

| IMO, if we can't get Kear, Noble or a top Aussie we should stick with Powell and Tawhai. They have brought the youngsters through, they know the London scene and can develop more. We should try and get Dave Rotheram to help out.
We should also appoint Welsi, as media man, he would be well worth it and we have a vacancy.

poplar,
I normally agree with most of your posts as you speak a lot of sense, and I even notice you agreeing with me on frequent occasions - but you are well wide of the mark here, IMO.
We do not need someone with knowledge of the London scene - we need someone with the knowledge of the Rugby League world in order to assemble a proper side and move onwards and upwards. Powell in particular is vastly underqualified - I'd sooner see one of our players coach the side.

| I see after week 1 of the play offs the only British coach involved at the business end of the season is, um, Tony Smith.

Did you miss my first line " If we can't get Noble, Kear or a top Aussie".............?
