Johns - Forgive me but wasn't Matty Elliott a rookie coach???? I appreciate that he came over with Smith but Brian was only here for a year. Don't let experience cloud your judgement, look at Huddersfield. He's also a big name that would help to recruit players. As far as I am aware he's worked with the likes of Canterbury, Newcastle and Parramatta, since his retirement, in a coaching role

Brian Mac - He's from Yorkshire and spent ten years at the club. Perhaps he realises that Quins have a ceiling whereas he can be the saviour at Odsal. A sticking point may be that he is under contract till 2011

I am merely suggesting these names but feel free to throw anymore into the ring

Cheers. Withers' drop goal must have hurt him then. Shame.

Nothing private - it was all quite public, about a month ago. [url=http://viewtopic.php?t=406608&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0Read about, e.g., Murray laughing about Fleary Breaking Bradley's nose and saying he hated Bradley[/url on this thread from Substandard. Regardless of what some of the fekkwittery say on it, you can take the reporting from the likes of Gareth as being objective.

"He declared he hated the Bulls within 10 minutes of arriving in Leeds".

Hmm.

Interesting. Bradley was a guy who seemed to rub quite a few people up the wrong way (sadly most were referees), though if these reported comments from Murray are true it seems there must have been some contact back in Aus before they came over here.

Not sure why he should hate Bradford though, other than possibly the fact that Bradley played for us. Maybe this was just a way to engage with the local rabble? Actually that `s not a bad idea........I can think of someone else who might like to make `I hate the Rhinos` comment`, which might help to endear him a bit more to the locals................................

Graham Murry like most people involved in sport will say what he thinks people want to here even if he doesn't normally share their views.

I guess that`s true enough. The fact he reportedly made the comments within ten minutes of arriving at Leeds suggests that might well be the case.

Though if he were to be offered a job here would his old comments come back to haunt him? Would he feel he couldn`t backtrack, I mean the vast majority of professionals don`t make comments about `hating` another club, however intense the rivalry with their current employer and I`d guess that the chief reason would be that they don`t want to queer the pitch for any future job.

There have been a few Leeds and Bradford born players who were well versed in the dislike between the clubs who have pulled on the `other` team`s jumper in the past so maybe it`s possible he`d come.
