I think Daryll Powell has done really well in short time as a coach. Take over till end of season to give him superleague coaching experience because what "big name" coach is going to come to warm the seat for Tim Sheens. Think Hunte should carry on with the great job he is already doing because at the moment being in charge of Salford could set his future coaching career back 10 years.

Noble might install a better culture at the club a winning mentality which the doctor is annoyed doesnt exist currently at salford

would be interesting if he got the job would it be Nobles biggest / best job taking a salford team with no winning culture and turning into a competative side which compete for trophies.
At Wigan he had the money and the processes in place, at Celtic he had a clean slate so he basically installed the winning processes.

Longy has been leading the coaching sessions since PV went...and after today's result it seems that he is doing the right things.

Mentioned on a different thread, Noble commented in this month's [iForty 20[/i, perhaps tongue-in-cheek, that he may be interested.

All the names mentioned would have one massive bonus for the club and that would be to help bring on Longy who I'm convinced will one day become a coach of the very highest caliber.

Think the added bonus if it is Sheens or Smith would be that they are both names well known and held in high regard in Australia and NZ to aide player recruitment. You'd think that Sheens in particular would have a huge knowledge of the younger up and coming talent down there that could be tempted over with the promise of getting in at the start of something exciting that is happening at the club.

This mornings press suggests the delay may be due to Noble being in Australia [url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/blog/2013/mar/13/super-league-brian-noble-salford1st Paragraph[/url

He does seem to have a number of influential friends;not all in the press,as they contributed to a book that has been recently published about 'winning teams' [url=http://m.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/sport/10090755.Noble_s_booked_up_for_building_a_team/Info on book[/url

His mentor,Matthew Elliott,was fairly seriously criticised about the defence his team displayed on the 1st game of the new season,last weekend,in which they lost.
