Hmmmm,,,I really can*t see him leaving St George/Illawarra to come to these shores can you?...Bloody Good but can*t see it...

Stuart Fielden might fancy a return.

Ellery Hanley?

The board have made their bed so to speak in terms of allowing Macca to make some wholesale changes pre season.

They won't get rid this early on - as many point out, he's out of contract at the end of the year, we've lost the first two games - CALM DOWN - Leeds have lost 2/3 and they're not all shouting for McClennan to go!

Will he (Macca) be sacked this year - if we continue with this form, yes he will, but we'll have to put up with it for 10 games or so unless there is some sort of mass boycott from the season ticket holders if we continue losing spectacularly

He won't be sacked this year. He will see out his contract. The best we can hope for is for someone to come in and help him.

Yup.

It's make or break for him this season. If we don't make the play offs again, I don't think his contract should / will be renewed.

If we carry on as we are doing we can forget about the play offs.

There look to be plenty of potential candidates out there.

So the collated list thus far is:

Steve Foulkes
Paul Cullen
John Sharp
Me
Ian Millward
Chris Anderson
Stuart Raper
Ellery Hanley
Jason Taylor
Helen Keller
Shaun McRae
Graham "I hate Bradford" Murray
Brain Noble
Wayne Bennett
Michael Hagan
Royce Simmons (is currently an assistant IIRC)
Ricky Stuart

FWIW on balance I think if we went for John Sharp I'd start watching Cas instead.

Out of those I'd certainly consider applications from Hagan, Raper, Simmons, Hanley and Millward. The first two being my favoured choices! All academic tho!

Would be the ones to consider [size=50(/snap their hand off)[/size

Graham Murray twice?

I know he hates us, but having two of him wouldn't make him any better.

Raper
Hagan
Bennett
Stuart
Simmons

Any of them and I would be delighted.

I'd take Hanley, Foulkes or Millward.

He was in the original list twice in my defence!

I'd be very surprised, if McNamara was to get sacked, that Brian McDermott wasn't your new coach.

At the moment, I would settle for that just to get some new idea's into the place!

I wonder if Quins would consider a coach swap................?

A lot of Quins fans are as disillusioned with their Macca as we are with ours!

I think we need an experienced bloke. While we probably would never attract someone like Hagan or Stuart you never know. However if we got Raper I'd be happy as he's a proven record at a club with limited resources (Cas) and has won a trophy with a top club (Wigan).

And then did what with the Sharks.........?

Compare that sharks team with our team now. Everything trying to come off one key player in Orford (us) and Kimmorley (Sharkies)........

The only likely option that will be available will be to bring in a decent assistant. Quite where we'll find someone suitable I don't know, but IMO it needs to be someone that can turn the team from defending like a set of wet lettuce leaves to having a bit of tenacity. Clearly we can actually defend reasonably well as we showed in very brief stints against Saints, but the sloppy softly softly tackling that we saw for most of the game needs coaching out.

paul anderson

Perhaps but I do think he's more experience than McNamara and has a proven record even taking into account his departure from Wigan and Cronulla.

McNamara's not proven anything as a head coach. He may be an excellent assistant and great at building up the youth system but as head coach his record speaks for itself.

He was the one I was going to mention. I've played under him at amateur level and he's a very astute coach. Is he ready to take on the job of main man yet and would the Bulls be prepared to take a chance on another unproven coach after the failings of McBanana?

I'd be happy if we appointed a Foulkes, Raper, Stuart type coach and kept McNamara as a No2, if he dont like it he can go.

If I were you men I would go for Brian McDermott.

Brian Noble or any experienced Aussie.

Stay away from Brian Mac please.

Jimmy Lowes as assistant coach...well respected by all the players at warrington and a legend here!
