Seems those in the frame are.....

Denis Betts
Richard Agar
Brian McDermott
Steve McNamara

I'm very excited!

Gary Schofield would just about top that list off

Deary me...

Christ, were scraping the barrel a little aren't we.

Still if I've got to pick one I'll got for Betts, he's got the Wigan connection and although he didn't do to well with us, we were going through a rather tough period certainly for a rookie first team coach such as him self to handle.

We're screwed.

Well thats probably the worst list of candidates we have had for a very long time. On the other hand top coaches arent going to give up there jobs at there clubs to become a International Coach for around 6 games a year. England should appoint the best coach for the job and for me the job shouldnt be Full Time.

Wow...I hope none of our players get picked at the end of the year then, it will be the biggest waste of time for an England Sporting team ever.

Agreed lol!

certainly an interesting line up of candidates

No British coach is good enough imo, whoever is in charge should be looking at coaches similar to MM or Nathan Brown, young up and coming coaches who need to prove themselves before they can return to the NRL, find one who is very good and team him up with an english assistant and away we go, hopefully they can at least bring us upto a level where we can compete against the Aussies like we used to do in the 90's

I would go for John Monie

We need a coach who has allready proved himself not a young Australian who has had no coaching experience at all! Ellery Hanley would be perfect for the job.

Those names have only been put forward so we don't feel a sense of disappointment when they give the job to John Kear.

£20 a week should cover any of them lots wage.

RFL strikes again

Christ

I might apply

if thats the case then you don't want MM as coach of Wigan?

Rather have agent Millward as England coach

We would be better off letting the players coach themselves!

I just hope its somebody British. Beating the Aussies with an Aussie in charge is pointless in my opinion.

It would do England no good trying to source the best Australian coaches as at international level they don't spend enough time with the players to actually coach them. We simply need a motivator and a tactician, preferably somone used to being the underdog. That's why i think Kear would be the best bet however that doesn't look like happening.

Betts will walk the job then.

That list is frankly f*cking pathetic.

I'd be happy to see Betts back in RL at least unlike Smith he's not a walking joke.

Smith made England even more of a farce with the likes of Bridge & Myler being selected last season.

It can't get any worse.

Paul Cullen??

I might vote for you.
