Think a lot of people are just plucking names out of a hat at the moment. Assistants looking at taking their shot at a head coach role, out of work coaches etc.

This is another reason why I feel we may be further along with securing investment than Pearson is making out. We would be in a much stronger position to negotiate with potential coaches if we could guarantee them they would have some money to play with. Landing any of the potential targets eith them knowing their hands will be tied financially would be almost impossible.

Richie Myler and his girlfriends dad eh no wonder Adam said there were people he had to consult before making appointments

Been waiting for your thoughts Wilf!

I'd take Keith as DOR if it came with a 2m player fund (I've made that amount, before our Rovers friends start crying)

summed up as moving from curiouser and curiouser to totally baffled???

good bit of investigative journalism by Dan Tomlinson though, leave him out of the loop at your peril

Well!!! To say this has come out of left-field is an understatement!!!

Over the past couple of weeks or so, we have, between us, speculated on just about every player and coach who has had any connection with the game over the last 25 years, and yet still not one of us saw this coming!!!

No idea what to make of this. It could be one of the most inspired moves the club have ever made or yet another calamitous decision on top of numerous others, or any point in-between those two extremes.

We may be total rubbish on the pitch right now, but our ability to create talking points, at times outlandish talking points, is unrivalled within the sport!!

It's sure is never dull in 'ull!!!

Briers and Myler played 3 seasons at Warrington together but this was 2010-2013...and who was their coach? Tony.

as others have said could be a great move or a disaster. But its a clean start money coming in so lets get behind them

We were already in a disaster so I'll gamble on anything being better than this

Myler was due to be director of rugby at York from next season

Still might be.

Be happy with Briers, will he leave Brisbane though.

Be a big ask though for a 1st head coaching job,hell of a lot of pressure,if he had a experienced assistant with him then maybe

he does have family in the area, isn't his sister Craig Halls' partner?

Will know Grix from Wire. For what it's worth, I think it'll be McDermott that comes in.

Other way round. Briers wife is Craig Halls sister

If mcdermott takes over I won't be renewing

It was a too big a job for one of the most successful SL coaches.

Done his apprenticeship at the best club in SL and a top NRL club, if all the names mentioned he'd be right up there, would rather have Rowley, but don't see that happening. Not sure who else is realistic.
Like others not a fan of Mcdermott, just something not right about him, don't think the Leeds fans were keen on him, despite him winning multiple finals.

Anderson not too sure either, not coached in SL for a while, but did win the LLS at Hudds and involved in the England set up.

McNamara is another strange one, would he come, always felt he has underachied there, with the resources he has had, pull for players and financial loop holes and no competition for young players.

I tell you who can take this forum forward !

I’ve just used the Brave browser and boom
Piece of cake posting and reading on this forum

I then went to Hull Daily Mail as that’s another pile of Shoite website and
Yeh hey what a delight

Brave - where have you been

Full disclosure - I own 0% of Brave

Wouldn’t be keen on Anderson and especially not McDermott. McNamara not going anywhere for at least 2 years.

Depending on our potential investment I’d like John Morris. Currently defence coach coach and assistant to Benji at Wests. Did a great job at Cronulla but Fitz was coming in regardless there. Don’t know if he fancy it though as Wests look like they are going somewhere with a lot of ex players in charge.

Morris is a decent shout. I'd rather someone like that than someone like Mcdermott.

What's wrong with Brian ?

Concern with Morris is the Sharks moved him on because he wasn't seen as the right man take take them forward. They just about got in the play offs in his 2 seasons at Cronulla.

If we've got money coming in soon I'd try and test Salfords resolve and attempt to get Rowley.

Failing that, one of these guys:

Josh Hannay
Michael Monghan
Lee Briers
David Tangata-Toa
Ben Hornby
Dean Young

They're all highly thought of coaches in good systems.

Rowley is the man , it would not be an issue to get him away from Salford , i would love him at Leeds as he plays a good style of Footy and improves players
