All second rate apart from Scully who is untested in a coaching environment.

Not sure who it should be however it needs to be the person who is the best man manager according to Scully but he appears to have recently left the job

Justin Morgan please.

I`m with you there, none of the above are in any way good enough, in fact i am struggling to think of any English/British coach that i would like to see in the job. At a push i would say Hanley, but that in itself would be a risk, for the obvious reasons.
Pity a certain Mr Edwards was allowed to drift away from our game, would`ve been a certain shoe-in for me...

I'm so underwhelmed by those choices.

none of that lot thanx...i would have gone for justin morgan or john kear

We've had Tony Smith and we've had Brian Noble and neither has been able to turn us into a team who can consistently beat Australia or New Zealand. Maybe it's not the coach which is the problem.

Likely England team is something like

Briscoe, Fox, Bridge, Eastmond, Atkins, Tomkins, Myler, Peacock, Lunt, Graham, Ellis, Tomkins, Burgess. Morley, Crabtree, O'Loughlin, Maguire.

That's why we won't win, not the coach.

Give it to phil clarke, then it mite get him off sky for a bit.

Maybe this pair should be given the opportunity to put their money where their mouth is (especially the fat bald one, however I doubt he has much money left what with all those houses he has lost). Phil Clarke could be their special advisor, this would result in Lynch and Scruton being Englands starting props leaving the Aussies quaking in their boots!

Personally I don't think it would make the slightest difference who they pick, IMO even Wayne Bennett or Craig Bellamy would find it impossible to get to turn the Aussies over in anything but a one off fluke.

Wot ? No Paul Cullen ?

Gary Schofield.

Its time we stop having these Aussies in charge of our team and have a good strong Englishman in the dressing room who can tell them all how important it is to wear the Great Britain jersey and tell the players about his experiences of losing to the Aussies when he was a player.

To be honest, I was surprised that I wasn't included in the list.....

spot on.

Dennis Betts...! Jesus tonight..!

I couldn't bring myself to vote for any of them.

Wayne Bennet

give it to paul and barry chuckle

Rod Studd.

Personally I don't care who he is if he's experienced and is going to be in charge for a long time no just one tournament!

Exactly, we could have Wayne Bennett and Craig Bellamy as a dual coaching team with Joey Johns and El Masri as backs / goalkicking coaches and still not beat the Aussies.

One bright note for the future, they have no young halves of a similar quality to Tomkins and Eastmond at the moment and might struggle to replace Darren Lockyer over the next few years. Wade Graham and Daniel Mortimer are decent prospects though, and I'm sure the next potential superstars are just coming out of high school knowing England's luck.

Edit: Just remembered Mitchell Pearce as well. FFS looks like we'll never beat them.

Imagine the half-backs'* run around moves they could create. It could be called the "To me to you"

Frank Fandango.

Winning the vote at present (Denis Betts that is, not Jesus Tonight ... I've never even heard of the latter?!)

Can you expand the list of choices.......................

John Fieldhouse. Remember when he was on GMR? He'd spent the previous week slagging the team off and wanted to make the following comment:-

'I speak to people around the town and they agree with me that the team is poor'

He actually said

'I've been talking to people and they've saying to me 'John, your right with the things your saying'

We need that simplistic attitude to the game.

jesus tonight is for christians who dont eat chicken
