I've thought since we signed Croft and Ackers that Rowley would be the next coach. Now that Blease is on board it does seem the logical outcome. However, if Arthur were to come he'd be the first bona-fide head coach from the NRL in a long, long time. Would be a major statement of intent. Ultimately, there are pros and cons with either. Would be less happy with JD given the fall out at Souths.

make sense to retain him in what way? lurch on from shambolic display to shambolic display?

If it’s Brad Arthur can he bring in Mitchell Moses please from his former team. our our prayers answered at 7

Interesting article by YEP with Blease, who seems to be saying it could be a few weeks yet before someone is appointed / announced. Seems to me if it were Rowley then the point would be to agree comp with Salford and he would be able to join, that doesn’t sound like a long task to complete. This leads me to think it will be someone from Aus and Arthur would be the favourite there I think. Getting Visas and agreeing the details around a family move isn’t as quick to close as a simply comp conversation with Salford. I’m expecting it to be BA.

I'm ok with either tbh.

I can see why the delay with Rowley compensation would need to be sorted out which may take some time.Surley with Arthur Blease could confirm without a visa plus I'm I think I read that Arthur said his family were up for a move to UK.It could also be that Blease hasn't made his mind up knowing this his first and most important decision.
