I guess the only concern is that if we does turning out to be a diamond, who does he replace next year.

Lisone would be potentially replaceable with a British player. Depends how good the lad actually is of course.

If BA isn't going to stay past this season, we should be looking to find an absolute top quality replacement. While too many signings have been shambolic (for a number of seasons), we really haven't helped with the amateurish selection of coaches (an ex player with a terrible NRL coaching record propped up by his dad, a failed SL coach and Tony Smith's nephew). Before anyone suggests it, I don't think McGuire should even make a shortlist until he's had a couple of years as head coach somewhere else.

Mcdermott in!!!

Depends if Sivo recovers fully, he might never play again or just want to go home after 12 months injury.
Even if Frawley and Lisone go well this year neither really warrant and extension.

Think Langley is already being groomed as next head coach

The frustrating thing about that interview is that Wilkin affectively blurted out an answer for him before he had time to open his mouth. I'm sure his heart strings are being pulled, but if he were 100% sure about going home we'd know by now. I'd say there is still a chance he stays for another year particularly if we start the season well and no opportunity materialises back home.

I agree with thunder I think Langley will be the coach after BA learning from BA and basically being groomed into it

I hope not

I doubt it, I think if BA heads home he will have a hand in finding a suitable replacement from within NRL.

Paul Rowley would be my guess

For the live of God...
