(shudders) Like eating cheese before bed...

What happened to our quest for Shaun Edwards?

Not reading the whole thread so apologies if this has already been put out there, but been told Dave Furner. From someone who is employed in the game and has hit the mark in the past (but not always..).

Just get Noble in its simple sack off all the Aussies because they will all play the homesick card when an offer comes in

The idea of Noble as head coach is unpalatable.

His last two coaching assignments have been disasters at Wigan and Salford.

Why don't we just go the whole hog and get Kear in!

It may be tongue in cheek BD3 but look at our club...it's in a feckin mess.
What has state has TS departure left us in..
No coaching set up.
Half a squad with stories of players want out.
Top players not wanting to touch us with a kings ransom threw at them.
Players on 2 year deals walking out.
Current form of seasoned players bang average at best.
The running joke of sl...

I think we can do a whole lot worse than Kear in getting someone to sort this bleak looking disaster zone.

That sounds like the rugby league equivalent of a nuclear winter Duck .

Perhaps not Kear, but the longer our apparent search goes on and with our top targets allegedly holding out for other posts, I’m beginning to wonder whether we should be looking a bit closer to home.

Step forward Mr Agar.

Hmmm yes is does...hence the all the fallout.
The foundations around TS were crumbling, he's been trying to hold it all together but he hasn't stopped the rot. It's made him ill.

Someone strong and driven needs to come into the club...there was little driven about TS over the last 4 years and certain none over 2017....it's was always a case of waiting, "we've trained well this week"....well it waiting around isn't going to get you across a finishing line.

Who are the "Players on 2 year deals walking out."
I can only think of 1

Well think a bit harder then.

If you mean Chris Sandow . That was not this season.

Wasn't it that he didn't report to this season's pre-season training ?

Thanks Wires71. We didn't call quits on him until Feb this year.
....yes I did mean Sandow.

I thought we called quits on him when we signed Kevin Brown in December 2016

Well the alarm bells rang out..but Wire didn't go public until the season was about to start...
Brown for Sandow...that isnt exactly like for like either.

It's pretty clear it was related to the 2017 season.

Karl Fitzpatrick, Head of Rugby Operations, said: "Chris is contracted until the end of 2017 and should have reported for pre-season training today (21 November).
"This is a clear breach of contract. We will be retaining his registration until further notice.

Announcement tomorrow

Price or Furner?

I'm told it'l be Price or Pay. But reading the Aus press yesterday, Pay looks to get the Bulldogs gig. I think it is going to be Price. Not that i am overawed by it.

Price I heard today

Think I would’ve rather had John Kear. Genuinely.

It's Price. Announced tomorrow. Pay going Bulldogs now.

Of the four candidates Price was the one I was least excited about... Still, it's a clean slate and I'll make no presumptions. Don't know much about Price as a coach but he'll have my support for a couple of years to see what he can do with this god-awful mess we've been left in. After all, he was the assistant coach of the current NRL champions.
