Who's available, in our price range, stupid enough etc?

Dymock maybe- NSW No 2 and a No 2 at some Aussie team
Ricky Stewart or has he now signed to the NSW origin team
Wayne Bennet when he gets sacked at the Knights!
Kearney when he gets sacked!

Who knows

I want Rob back, he wasnt given enough time - we were just about to hit our straps. *kneejerkdecision*

Daniel Anderson out of that list. Brian Noble had a poor reputation for developing local talent at Bradford (don't know whether deserved or not), John Kear seems happy puddling along at Batley with a bit of media work on the side and appears to me to be starting to wind down to retirement, Mick Potter's already said that he's looking for jobs back home and Tony Rea would make a better director of Rugby than first team coach at this stage of his career. I'd quite like to see Jim Dymock given a go, but as the Oz media had him down as a candidate for the first team job at Canterbury last year, I suspect his ambition will be a bit higher than coaching us.

The towel was hung out to dry.

You are a rascal, Rascal



Think I'd like to see Jim Dymock given a go (did wonder if he was a possibility when Dessie moved to Canterbury). Other than him, guess it's got to be Nobby....never been over keen on him as a personality, but he has got proven coaching credentials (and think DH would have bringing on/identifying potential London players as part of the job descrip).

Did I read somewhere he is only 45?

Yes I heard 45.

Comes to something when 45 is "only " 45...

For a coach is that not young?



Mac looks 65 after 2 years at Leeds

Apparently Brian Noble has said he wants to coach Broncos, and personally I'd love to have him as a coach.

......just keep him away from anything to do with the youth development set up.

Noble is a yesterdays man- Under performed at Wigan

Potter but he'd have his bloody hands full with us.

Anderson for me from that list, commands respect and seems like a coach with a hard edge who would sort out the slackers/also rans within our squad.

Isn't he still kiwi's coach???

Daniel Anderson, Jim Dymock, Steve Folkes would be the three I'd look at.

There are, what, 28 top tier club RL head coach jobs in the world....You could count that number of an inbred coal-miners hands and feet.....of those positions, most have coaches set for the coming season.

I think we can attract a good standard of coach.....we shouldn't have to settle for anyone who doesn't have the ability to do the job. We took a chance before with Powell and it didn't work....we should be able to aim high.

Can't believe Noble is top choice so far! Ok, so maybe as Director of Rugby but if not say Jimmy Dymock for coach then a young, hungry Aussie assistant coach looking to make a name for himself - and ideally he'll have a bit of 'mongrel' about him!

Jimmy Dymock for me please....

The likes of Anderson and Kearney are not realistic. This club is not a desirable job and these guys could go to any NRL club. People on here need to get real.

Jim Dymock may be a possibility, it would give him a shop window as to what he can do. Surely, Potter is the man we should try and persuade.

Royce Simmonds should be there too. Made a young Sains team into a solid unit v quickly. Results not improved by his sacking.

He also has an ace name, a la Steele Retchless ( though not as good)

I'll do it.


If they overlook me though I want it to be worthwhile and get someone in who really is top quality eg Bennett or Kearney. I know I'm dreaming but it's not like this forum makes the decision for the club, so maybe we should show some ambition.


It will be interesting what Rea gets out of this squad though, if he is a success I would have no problem with him staying around

Haven't seen a realistic suggestion in this whole thread. My hope is Rea somehow gets 4 or 5 wins and gets offered the job full time.

I appreciate the irony of this post.

Dave you always like to think out of the box!

tends to remind me of watching "Twenty Twelve"
