Agree 100% John. How long have the BOD got to find their man? 5 or 6 weeks?

As John says, we can't afford to stuff this call up although I have a feeling that's it's going to take a gamble on the part of both the BOD and the new coach, let's hope we unearth a nugget....and start making our own luck for a change.

After agreeing 100% with John I'm off for a lay down

.

Dave Woods is supposedly on the move from Whitehaven wasn't he in charge when Cas got back into SL?

It'll take him 2 weeks to get here.

So Charlie has your mate's application gone in then?

You can have Marchy for free

Ok , A few options.

Down the dual route:

Noble/Peacock. Noble/Wellens.

Aussie route:

Paul Gallen. Mike Hagan

Single Uk coach:

Glenn Morrison. Mike Ford.

Obiviously any of these will all require a serious investment to attract one of them! So it looks like Big Jim Gannon is favourite to me.

Gibbo and Gannon going home.

Mike Rush? One hell of an apprenticeship, did well for half a season in charge of Saints.

more chance of Andy Perry taking over

Catalan Dragons have allowed reserve-team coach Steve Deakin to terminate his contract early and return to England on compassionate grounds .

I am not advocating him, but, was very much pleased with the way Barra played today, I thought they were very quick, must have offloaded the ball in 80% of their tackles.
Very impressed with the way Barra played.
But is he reliable?
Would you like him?

Did Andy start this rumour .

Bobby Goulding no way, full of ego.

Interesting choice - Cummins / Diskin?

Also Carlo Naptionio maybe? Not coaching Italy now.

Get the spelling right

you cant beat a bit of Italian , I can see it now Minestrone being served at Fax , sounds great .

at least he might teach them how to pasta ball and not gnocchi on.

Spell it right! haha

Cooke at Doncaster?

Won't happen I think.

He did speak highly of Fax when he was at the Shay with his World Cup team.
Also he seemed on friendly terms with Mr Abbott.

Its Carlo Napolitano

Charlie knows as im from Napoli .

Bit more mentioned in the weeks RL press.

Michael Steele mentions again that Fax have received a number of applications from home and a couple from down under and they were pleased with the quality of those putting their hats into the ring.
MS would not reveal who they were but stated the names would be well known.

Today they would be considering these and narrowing it down to those to be interviewed which would follow soon after and it would be highly likely that Scott Murrell would have some roll to play in the new coaching setup.

I think Scott will go back to captain and away from the coaching setup unless they want to gradually breed him into a coach 5 / 6 years down the line?

Given other teams have been chasing Murrell with a view to including him on their coaching set ups I would think one of the stipulations for the new coach would be to do the same. Im not sure if it will be in an assistant capacity but I would expect him to have some role afterall hes probably the best rugby brain we have had at the club in at least a decade.

I just hope they go through the whole interview process with a lot of people involved and do not bow to the pressure of one or two people like happened in the last appointment.
