Alfie has been suspended from the Broncos.

Drink Driving, I gather.

Because he's now suspended at the Broncos due to a drink driving offence, and may be looking to leave the country to get away from the press over there?

If Todd Carney was refused a work permit then would a similar conviction put any application for Alfie Langer in jeapordy?

Not really sure - didn't Carney have multiple convictions rather than just one drink driving offence?

I've got a semi just thinking about that.

Des Hasler would be the best coach in SL.

Bit drastic fleeing the country for a drink drive offence though, especially to come to Bradford!

I'd love to see him at Odsal but it doesn't seem very likely IMO. But you never know I suppose.

and I have a feeling Beaver would be the only one who could talk him into it but ooooo would be amazing if that happened

Doubt Hasler would leave Manly or the NRL though

Only realistic way of signing Hasler would be if he was sacked by the Sea Eagles.

can't really see that happening like more realistic to do what Wigan did and go for an assistant ready to make the leap head coach

Obviously one of the greatest players of his generation but never struck me as someone who would move into coaching successfully. Seems like he has a thirst to go with an alledged liking for gambling.

Why even consider the poisoned chalice of the England job, invariably on a hiding to nothing, when you could maybe be in Oz next year? And why stay with Bradford after all the hammering as a coach you have had from the fans, if there are other options? Interesting times ahead I feel...

We really are desperate if 4 completely unproven coaches are the best we can attract.

My take on that article is that he has been interviewed and would consider it if offered. If it was not an option it would be the easiest thing in the world to say so.

Furthermore I suspect he'll take it if its offered, as opposed to [imaybe [/igoing to oz as an assistant and [imaybe [/ibeing offered an extension here. If I were in his position I'd see it as an interesting and relatively safe career move. It will be easier to get another SL job after a few seasons with England than it woul dbe if the Bulls don't renew his contract IMHO.

As you say, interesting times...

If you listen to Macca being interviewed on the wireless he very rarely gives a definate yes or no answer.

true, like a lot of coaches, but its just my reading of this particular story is that there is something there and he's interested. (Hardly a revelation I know

)

Right, time to launch a fund to raise enough money to send Gledhill to Aus. His mission is to get engage Hasler in the king of sex scandal that would be enough to get him sacked.

Mick - take one for the team.

You already tried that with Fielden to Wigan. Didn't work and bring back Nobby though.

I'm surprised no-one seems to have suggested Sir Jimmy as a possible contender?

It wouldn't surprise me if there is an announcement on Macca's replacement tomorrow morning. Watch this space!

To add to that last veiled comment, I believe Macca could well be unveiled as England's new coach. After all he has been keeping the seat warm all this time and done his stint of coloring in for Tony Smith. In this way he would use the England post to disguise an exit from the Bulls as moving onto bigger and better things before England are mullered by the antipodeans at the end of the season and he retires to accept demotion as Brian Smith's under-study. You read it here first!

Be careful what you wish for...

"Aye, there's the rub"
