Irrelevant. You could name plenty of Aussie flops too.

I think Bradford spawned perhaps the biggest batch of Rugby League staff that have come from one Super League club and most of them were forwards who benefitted from size and strength rather than subtleness or skill.

Brian McDermott, James Lowes, Paul Anderson, Mike Forshaw, Steve McNamara, Robbie Paul, Paul Deacon, Iestyn Harris, Stanley Gene, Glenn Morrison, Matt Calland, Warren Jowitt, Paul Medley, Abi Ekoku, Scott Naylor

Of this list, it is difficult to suggest that any of the forwards have been a successful head coach in their own right and arguably the biggest prospects are Harris and Robbie Paul with the best potential 'forward' manager being perhaps Paul Anderson. I have nothing against Bradford but nothing for them either.

It would be better to have an experienced manager and if that is Brian Noble I would be pleased - I just don't want someone chancing their arm with our club as their personal University. This is especially the case if they have been here and looked hapless and been beaten 60-8.

Listy's right about Aussie flops (John Monie, anyone?).

I have nothing against Bradford apart from the fact that they wanted us kicked out of the league.

Thinking about it, I'd be happy with Bradford being kicked out and replaced by Halifax

Maybe we will get a pole as coach!, I am getting to a stage that anyone would be better than no-one.

What for the girls to dance around!

If I had to take a British coach Id take Sharp. I wouldnt go near Lowes or Harris or any of the inexperienced assistants. Never been sure about Kear, but probably second best.

The club should be in Daniel Anderson's ear. He'd be perfect.

Sharp did well at the Giants, a great defensive coach, after 5 years it was time to move on. Quins could do a lot worse.

Would be great if Jimmy Dymock made his first grade coaching debut with us!

Agreed!!

According to the local paper Isteyn Harris is about to be confirmed as the Crusaders' new coach, apparently leaving Mr. Noble without a job - perhaps he'd like to try us (on second thoughts.....).

Not enough Aussies in our team for Nobby



Not enough money either...

Wasnt Noble linked with the Union lot at Quins at some point..

You can stike another name of the list too. Jason Taylor just took over the U20's at Roosters,where he has been working as a kicking coach for the full time squad.

Nobby would be fine. I noticed that right down at the bottom of this piece about his involvement in the Commonwealth games www.league.quins.co.uk/news/12497.php , John Miles writes "Next week I will be back to work at Quins RL, eager to start planning for the forthcoming season.

Any trivial event seems to trigger the "start of a new era" nowadays. I wouldn't read anything into it. Unless the new era involves attempting to run a Rugby League club with a woeful squad stuffed full of below-par local players.

No, that's not new, that was last season. Next year will be different.

Won't be walters

Has Ivan Cleary renewed his contract with the Warriors yet?

Nothing reported as yet.....he is off-contract as far as I know.
Funny thing the Warriors coaching cycle........he was under less pressure after 2009 than he is for 2011. I suspect if the team start badly or if they don't make the top 4 he will be offski.
Warriors won club of the year in the NRL and the 20's won the toyota cup....all is looking good for the future of the club.....now if they could just get bigger crowds

Are you giving them grief as well?

Well they've got the ideal man just around the corner to sort that problem out-get them posters up in Wellington east train station and the winter pansies on the roundabout

Join with me, Listy, and harlequin gooner, for a new era of posting - no negativity!

I see that Nobby is the fifth choice on here, I hope he does not think bad of you lot. He along with Kear was my first pick. Maybe I can have some of his nuts!

Darryl Powell now being tipped to become McDermott's assistant at Leeds, so presume he won't be coming.
