As many will have heard , Bobbie Goulding pronouced himself ( the Fans Choice ) for next coach of Salford City Reds .
Time to put that to the test .
Listed all names either mention on the Forum or on the Press or other social media Sites linked or rumoured to be on the radar 17 or so . ( if there's others ) post below .
you have 3 choices ( your top 3 ) have fun .
Ive listed for brevity - their age , previous clubs coached - Top Grade Games Coached & % win rates

Got to be Brian Smith for me, the fact that if he wants it he is instantly available is a massive bonus.

Massive respect for Bobbie Goulding, but I'm afraid he has to earn a shot at super league by doing well in the Championship first.

1. B.Smith
2. D.Anderson
3. B.Noble

John Cartwright coaching stats
[urlhttp://www.rugbyleagueproject.org/coaches/john-cartwright/summary.html[/url

Smith, Sheens, Cartwright.

Easy.

Spooky - I voted exactly that about an hour before your post - though I actually went
Cartwright
Smith
Sheens

But, I just cannot see Cartwright moving from the position he's in now

As I don't know what the expectations/aspirations of Dr Koukash may be - nor do I know if the idea is to mentor a younger coach - but I do have reservations about Antipodeans of a certain age either needing or wanting to come to the UK and fail to live up to earlier accomplishments and standards required by those employing them.
If Sheens is appointed I don't think he will be recruiting Benji Marshall - [url=http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/benji-marshall-fires-back-in-tim-sheens-feud/story-e6frexnr-1226598443273Story[/url and as he is still being paid by his former club the money on offer may not be tempting

Obviously some players can complain for a number of reasons but Smith has received some from his former club

Cartwright may be available sooner than expected [url=http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/titans-coach-john-cartwright-concedes-its-his-last-chance/story-e6frexnr-1226598894958Latest[/url
Lastly,for those interested in conditioning,Steve Murphy,at 2,makes the change seem uninspired given the Cartwright
scenario [url=http://www.titans.com.au/online-chatLink[/url

Sheens, Smith and Cartwright for me. Are those on Twitter wanting a coaching team of Alker and Goulding being serious?

1) Noble
2) Kear
3) powell

Dont follow Australian rugby so I can only go of what I know

The poll is clearly rigged as there's not a single vote for "fan's favourite" Bobbie Goulding. What can coaches like Sheens or Smith bring to the table? I'll bet David Ferriol won't want to come and play for them.

Any rugby union coaches that have caught your eye?

Think we'd take Shaun Edwards wouldn't we? Think he'd become one of the best rL coaches but the wage package he'll on from the WRU would be way more than RL teams would shell out.

On a side note thought it was hillarious yesterday when Clive Woodward at half time during the Wales & England game was slating Ashton for not being able to tackle which is unusual as rugby league players are normally brilliant at it, time we brought him back to RL before he's ruined for life.

I see Bobby Goulding's been on and voted for himself...

Those of us who may have plumped for Cartwright may have to wait for his services
Noticed Luke O'Dwyer hadn't made the team .

[url=http://www.news.com.au/sport/rugby-gold/ex-springbok-coach-jake-white-to-instil-nrl-culture/story-fndptwp4-1226579170425Brumbies coach Jake White has a change of heart and wants to instil NRL culture into his his team[/url

5 years after labelling NRL a disruptive influence & unprofessional ACT Brumbies Coach Jake White is now fawning over the influence of newly installed ' Collision Coach ' Brian Smith:-


Need to get him out of there before he gets too comfortable

I think we need to get you out of reading rugby union stuff






Two things.Firstly despite huge acclaim for the work Smith did at Hull and Bradford he never lifted silverware.
Secondly,whichever rugby league player goes into the other code he always becomes a defensive coach.I think I include Phil Larder,Mike Ford,Shaun Edwards,Dennis Betts,Graham Steadman and as my head now hurts....

[url=http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/marwan-koukash-plans-new-salford-1754920Koukash Plans New Head Talks[/url
'In Before Easter'

If we're to believe the Local Daily , Smith will be over here to watch us either for the St Helens or Huddersfield games.
Barker obviously believes it's a two horse race ..

Both Smith and Noble are fans of Steve McNamara.
Perhaps they may agree to hold the fort until after the autumn World Cup and then Steve Mac will be the head coach.

Allowing Bobbie to get the England job and bring Ferriol out of retirement, Oh hang on a minute he's French.

And his daughter.

Seemingly more people want to see an ex-player with no head coaching experience than a coach who's won three challenge cups, one league leader's shield, and taken a team to a grand final all in the last 5 years.

Sheens,Smith,McLennan
Either of those three would be a huge statement of intent.

I'm surpised about the low voting for ' Bluey ' Brian McClennan , considering his reasonable stats and experience at both Club & international level , and the fact he's available and a New Zealander , must put in the favourites short-list .

[url=http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=10829542McClennan left singing the blues[/url

[url=http://www.rlcm.com.au/latest-news/21581-rugby-leagueBrian McClennan could be in Salford's sights[/url

We were told the Australian currency and the Salary Cap would make the purchase of Antipodeans almost impossible.
If we go for an Antipodean coach how will he get to know the best of British talent at the warp speed the club wants to progress ?
Are the New Zealand 2 - Lowe and Chalmers,involved in any advisory capacity for the head coach decision ?
Is the new head coach to develop youngsters as well as attract big names ?
How many big names,from Down Under,did 'Bluey' attract to Leeds ? He signed Greg Eastwood but he returned after just one season.
There are any number of questions and it's a very important decision.
Just because some clubs have done well with certain coaches doesn't mean it will be repeated at Salford where the infrastructure is different.
How many top players want to perform in front of 2k ?

I thought I read there was someone due to arrive from NZ with a reputation for bringing young players through so I think that the new regime see the need for this, basically the better quality of youngster you get into the squad the more of the salary cap can be used to bring the type of player who is really going to be the catalyst for improvement. I've always been a fan of bringing in Kiwis as they seem to adapt to the UK quicker and in the long run more successfully.
