The best quality NRL players available are those that have messed up off-field, so they're a huge risk (including Jackson Hastings). Its interesting to see that players here are now playing to an age way beyond what they used to - Smith, Thurston and Slater are all 35 and still going. So we're not even seeing 'has beens' go to SL any more.

So now that the dust is settling a bit, who do people actually want and why?

I'd like to see Powell because he has a track record of bringing through younger players and developing them and his teams play an exciting brand of rugby.

Would like a decent Aussie.

Demitriou or Walker Bros.

I would like to see someone come in with no connections to the club whatsoever so they can come in and sweep out anything deemed as dead wood without any emotions being attached to a decision. I honestly can't see anyone who fits the bill in the UK apart from maybe Powell but i don't see him leaving Cas whilst they are still moving forward. Looks like Australia would be the best place to shop but will Gary be willing to pay the money possibly required to bring someone decent over?

Ian watson?

Why?

done a brilliant job at Salford.will def get a bigger job in future, as will Chris Chester.

if like Powell but can't we it happening.
I just hope GH doesn't go the cheap option

The only British coach id like to see is Powell but that won’t happen. So David furner ?

Anyone who thinks Leeds played poor attacking rugby under McDermott is quite simply not correct. See link below: https://www.reddit.com/r/superleague/co ... s_coaches/

we watched it. he didn't apart from 2015

I Think GH will go all out for Powell.

I’m not convinced he’s the right man for the job at the moment.

Expectations will be sky high and the first sign of it not working and there will be calls for his head!

My main issues are the following.

Has Powell ever coached a team that has won a title/trophy, can he get them over the line?

Im not a fan of his whinging when things don’t go his way, he is too quick to blame the ref.

I think we need an experienced Australian to bring the talented kids through

There are some very emotional calls needed to finally bring the curtain down on some of our warhorse's currently in the squad. I think that's a job for someone outside of the organisation to do, I couldn't see an "insider" having the capacity to do it.

Don’t normally read daily rags, but saw a copy on the Scum and daily titz scum claimed Furner nailed on. Titz said Powell who us unhappy with behind the scenes at Cas. Maybe Powell thinks he has gone as far as he can at Cas, and has unfinished business at Leeds.
But i don't like him and have good reasons.

Furner out of those two.

Any reason you thought you'd do that post in a Hi-de-Hi accent?

I agree with this in principle. However, I’m not sure GH has made a calm thought through choice and has someone lined up to come in.. if he has - fantastic. However, the tone and nature of what he has said leads me to think that Caddick has pulled the trigger here. If so we may not be able to get the right man until after the season ends.
