Isn't he assistant coach at North Queensland Cowboys?

On the YEP website it says Gary Mercer wants the Carnegie job.

Gary Mercer's philosophy of playing rugby: Just run on the diagonal.

I reckon any appointment of an assistant will involve an external candidate. That's not to say that none of our current or recent playing staff won't have a coaching role at the club in future but I just think it more likely that they'll take their first steps on the coaching ladder elsewhere.

60% of the time............

It works EVERYTIME.

Surely more like an Ellery Hanley crab run.
