I didn't say I liked him was just throwing out a name besides as said not such a good idea as amount it would cost would leave no money for players.

I'll pick someone sensible Al Capone

Daniel Anderson? Also, it wouldn't surprise me if Trent Robinson or Michael Maguire became available before the end of the season.

They aren't kicking on the fifth half of the time now though so that actually would be something different.

What's Richie Spedding up to these days?

I'd happily take Anderson or Maguire, they wouldn't be the most popular but would improve us immensely.

We need to be looking for someone who can bring and implement a 3 year plan as it will easily take that long to get us back to a suitable and sustainable standard.

I would happily have Trent Robinson but not Maguire, I dont want to be bored to death every time I go to Headingley.

I'm sure that Anderson is under some sort of investigation or certainly under a cloud of suspicion for some alleged wrongdoing or misdemeanour.
I'd go for Trent Robinson if available.

Anderson is scratched for life from the entire game in Oz for his part in the recent salary cap cheating at Parramatta - he was something like 'Head of Football' and was a major player in their decision to pay players dodgy and illegal 3rd party payments.

Cleary would be my wish list choice, he ain't gonna end up over here though, he's just waiting in the wings for the next NRL job - probably St George.

Not sure why people have such a desire to get ex-players back like Dunneman who's done nothing of any note - if we're going for assistants, we'd be better with Jason Demetriou - he's won comps with every team he's been involved with, either Juniors or Reserve Grade. He'd be in GH's cheap bracket and knows the game over here.

It will upset those good Cas fans that come on here when i say this but GH should be moving heaven and earth to get Powell back at the club. If he is going to be doing everything else 'on the cheap' then at least bust the bank to bring in a coach who seems to know how to work and get the most from players who are not superstars of the game.

Would 100% agree with this, but I very much doubt Powell would leave Cas - he's been building something there over a number of years and it appears to be about to bear fruit, I think Powell and Cas are a great match.

I dont disagree mate but we should be trying all the same.

He got his fingers burnt by G.H before didn't he?...kicked upstairs then had to work with the Union arm of Leeds?. It is also said he has full control on rugby matters at Cas, could he really get that back at Headingley?.

I think there was a clue with an interview Powell did at the start of the season regarding the playing style in this country. In my opinion he will be the England coach & rugby development director of some sort in a few seasons.

It's highly unlikely Powell would leave cas. It's taken a while to build this cas team he would be crazy to leave. Still as they say money talks so you never know. I think we all agree cas are a decent team, my one concern if I was a cas fan would be most of the creativity and flair comes from gale. If he is injured I think they may struggle against a top four team.

Money does talk - that's why Powell will stay at Cas and Leeds will continue scraping the coaching barrel unless someone else is paying the wage ala Murray/Lance.

This. It's obvious Leeds won't/can't splash the cash at the moment. (money must be at least saved for GH to do his annual 'scouting' trip to Oz)
