It eas talked about on last week's show.

Betting is now back up and Pay is still favourite. MM has come in from 5/2 Brennan back out to 3/1.

BIG spanner now that Hasler has left Canterbury though I can see them going for Dean Pay.

Anthony Griffin has now also appeared at 12/1

Very odd, I just went to look at the betting, Pay is still 4/5, but it's the Maguire into 5/2 maybe Karl is into him like a terrier and won't take no for an answer and odd because Maguire as stated he does not want to leave Sydney.

Don't know who this bloke Sydney is but he can't be any worse as an assistant than Agar so why not hire him, too?

Has he publiciy stated that though? He's definitely interested but we're not his first choice unfortunately.

I wondered the same, have Canterbury brought forward Haslers exit so they can hold on to Pay?

Well to be honest I've not seen that he as,just same as others,which is basically reading reports online. And they are saying he doesn't want the Titan's job because he wants to stay in Sydney with his family.

I just hope that we're not once again being used as a bargaining chip by the various candidates.

Apparently the Cronulla assistant Steve Price is also listed as an interested party?

The betting as changed again Pay is out to even money, Brennan back in to 2/1 and Maguire is at 5/2. If Price is now of interest well he is not in the betting as yet.

Where can I find this Pal, because I went into Betfreds today & they rang their Head Office who wouldn't offer a price on anyone.

Who you putting your 50p on FB?

15 names on that list. Top 11 from NRL.

"If we sack Smith, who do we replace him with"

Well Dean Pay is still bookies favourite for the job, but he is now heavly linked to the Bulldogs job since Hassler got sackrd.

Paul Cullen or Tony Barrow not sure which

The bookies wont know anymore than we all do, so i wouldnt be following them as closely as you are in the hope of getting info quick. Next manager markets are a little money maker for bookies (low liquidity compared to the main markets) as there are lots of false favourites and rumours that help them. In these markets a relatively small bet can effect the prices much more significantly than in other markets so they are quite inefficient.

Or " if we sack Smith MID SEASON who do we replace him with?"
Didn't notice any household names queuing up for the Saints job.

That was the strongest/only argument used as well for keeping him

"who else is there"

while we plummeted into bottom of the league play offs, only for Smith to say "oh well i wasn't bothered anyway"

.

And to think ,but for Mr Smith's mutually agreed departure, next season could have been as bad if not worse. Whoever comes in looks like having very little to work with unless we have some signings on ice. We are obviously not a honey pot of a club judging by how long it is taking to find anyone who seems interested in the job & if no scouting work has been done in this field earlier in the season it looks like the higher management were happy to maintain the status quo for next season. The whole episode smacks of amateurish incompetence right through the club hierarchy of so called businessmen.

i was talking to a friend last night about this over a few beers..... and after a while, we came to the conclusion that we would like to see Cullen on the coaching staff.

The thinking was that he would be able to generate a bit of 'love for the shirt'... which has been in very short supply lately.

So it was an up and coming coach from the NRL with Cullen as his assistant.

May as well have 'Orford Mike' on coaching staff if we want love for the shirt.

Cullen has been away from sport long enough to be behind the times when it comes to techniques and coaching. Would be nice to have him involved, something alongside Richard Mathers' role.

you know, it was nice(and weird) to see cull handing shirts out and wearing training gear earlier this season, i always wondered if there was any bad blood between him and the club, but i guess that time heals all wounds.
