Agar 50/1.
Who'd put a quid on at those odds?

Thanks.

Seems the sort of person we should be targeting - I just don't think we have much hope attracting an experienced coach over.

His links to the UK could be good too, may be less likely to want a top job in the NRL...?

Started watching the betting,in the last hour Brennan as gone from 10/3 into 11/4.

I really hope it's Brennan, he seems to be held in VERY high regard by other coaches, players and pundits.

It's Brennan.
Hiku released so he doesn't have to play under him. The family issue excuse is bollox.

Go on il bite,how do you know this. And betting since 6 pm last night as gone from 10/3 to 11/4 to now Evs.

Having read up about him he would seem ideal for us and I really hope this is true.

Why wouldn't Hiku want to play under him - or have I missed something???

Personally I know nothing about him, but he sounds as though he would fit the bill. Up and coming coach happy to get 2-3 years experience in the Uk before returning to get a head coach job down under. I like the bit where it says he is particularly hard working and good at bringing on the younger players.

So it would be an 'unproven' coach to some extent, but if he were to implement a number of the basic requirements of any NRL based team I am sure we would benefit enormously. Not sure where the free flowing attractive rugby comes in. Do any of the NRL watchers know if he encourages open play, or is he one of the 'hunt the error' coaches ?

Of all the reports I've read on Demetriou, Payne, Lam and Brennan, he is the one I'd want us to bring in. Hope there's legs in this rumour and not another of one RDs nailed on announcements.

Michael Mcguire, Adrian Lam, the Walker brothers, Laurie Daley, and Craig Fitzgibbon are all said to be the Front runners for the Gold Coast Titans head coach job.

while I cant Believe Laurie Daley is a front runner and nor would I want him at wire, why aren't we being linked with these names....? they all cant get the job.

no one is even hinting at Demetriou or Brennan being in with a sniff of the head coaches job at the Titans.

so it looks like we are looking at coaches at level below Laurie Daley......???

really thats how you see it because ONE club are not linked to them they are not as good as the coaches that ONE club is linked too.????

there are other things to consider that we may not be privy to rumours about their management style etc that warrington mayn't one interested in the names were linked too seem more disciplinarian coaches in Brennan n macguire maybe the club are aware of some issues at the club and have identified the coaches were linked to as more suitable than the above!! not so long ago we would have jumped at the chance of getting Bennett here would anyone really want him now after the England performances ???

Actually quite shocked at this response. Only Maguire is more recognised or qualified than any of the others mentioned. I think it would be a coup if we get Brennan.

Also let's remember that although Brennan is not linked with a top job at a NRL club, neither was an assistant called Maguire until he proved his ability winning Super League with Wigan. The rest is history.

Finally someone said it. SL is the kindergarten of the nrl.

Remember it's quite a step to move to the other side of the world one which requires the buy in of the whole family.So, bearing that in mind I suspect that the candidates will fit into one of two categories: those which are highly ambitious and accept the upheaval as a means to an end or those which are desperate for employment. Hopefully whoever we recruit will come from the first category.

True, but I'd be happy to see us develop a future NRL champion coach for a couple of years if it meant we'd finally get our hands on the SL trophy, as well as putting in place a sound structure for developing our own young talent.

Let's see what happens IF and when we get a reputable Aussie assistant.

The betting is up and down, Brennan went from 10/3 to even money, he is now out to 5/4 and Dean Pay as come into 2/1.

Word is SJM has tipped off its Pay...someone put a big punt on him and slashed to odds from 8s about 1 hour ago.

Well I suppose Pay has experience of living away from Australia when he was at Les Cats with Walters, so that could be the big factor.

He's also known to be a no-nonsense guy and plenty of experience with the younger players from the NSW junior grades, so let's give him 2018 to rebuild and instil some resilience into our club culture and then by 2019 we'll get an idea where we stand for the future.

I'm quite happy at this point...

If they turned us down, would the sun shine anymore?
No Regrets if it didn't. Just make it easy on yourselves

I think the analogy is that SL is to NRL what that Japanese football league (JFL) or Turkish Süper Lig is to The Premiership.

Naughty boys go there for redemption, old players go to retire, and young coaches go for experience. In all cases they don't stay there any longer than they need to.

Dean Pay will be our new coach.
