Or Huddersfield.

That's quite an assertion. Meninga's record as a club coach, given the talent available to him, is barely better than his record as a politician.

As a rep coach he is pretty good but it's a bit like comparing Bluey McClennan to Tony Smith. One is great for a team of high quality players who know what they're doing and just need a bit of guidance and motivation. The other you'd trust to build a club.

I wouldn't trust tony smith to build an ikea bookcase

The talk is we are losing Croft to Wakey and signing Hastings.

Croft is still under contract until the end of next season, so they'd have to buy him off us wouldn't they?

If he does we can look forward to another decade of mid table and some horribly boring rugby

They reckon they're signing Yeo as well.
Even though they have no quota spaces and loads of half backs.
They can have Frawley if they're that desperate.
Means we could bring in Hastings.

If we do let Frawley go I`m not sure we need another halfback when we have Croft/Connor and Sinfield as back up.
A new hooker maybe or a new centre.

BA seemed to bristle when James Deighton asked him about the McNamara rumours and if he's spoken with Perth. He said he'd heard nothing of the McNamara rumours and he was still coach, "unless you want me out." Did concede he'd spoken to Perth "at some point." Not sure what to make of it, but hope that if he's overlooked for the Perth job, he'll stay another year. I think we're waiting on the Perth decision, which was thought would be announced this week. If BA is overlooked, I think we'll get a pretty swift decision from him either way. 

I honestly think he's at war with himself over this decision and it comes across in his grumpiness with the press when asked the envitable questions. He must know that he'll never gave another job where he's more highly regarded by the club and loved by the fanbase. He must see how far the team has come under his stewardship, and there must be a part of him that wants to finish the job. If he were to win  silverware with us he'd be right up there with Murray in terms of legendary coaches. That still means something even when you've come from the NRL. The idea that somebody might be doing "his job" next year clearly touches a nerve. Ultimately if Perth say yes he'll go, but if they don't I think there is a strong chance he'll stay. Let’s hope he does.

Not sure where Hastings would fit in.I like Connor Croft combination with Sinfield as cover.It looking more likely we will only be signing one overseas player next season.
