And therein might lie another problem? Furner might have been identifying and/or speaking to potential new NRL recruits for next year and some discussions/negotiations may have gone pretty advanced? Are such targets/potential targets still going to want to come now the coach that has possibly been sharing his vision for them and the club going forward has suddenly gone?

What a sorry mess this all is isn't it. I still stand by the stance that Furner should have been backed and given the opportunity to bring in his own players this summer and weed out lots of the dead wood. With the squad we have its been clear since the first few games that silverware is off the table and it's also now clear we won't be relegated.

By pulling the trigger now it suggests that the powers that be believe we are a top club and should be way above way we are. That for me is very poor judgement and sets up any coach taking the reigns from here for a similar fate. The squad by and large is bottom third of the league fodder and it will be very difficult for anyone to come in right now and start stringing the wins together. Added to that they will need to bed in; take a look at who they want and don't and all the while we get beaten to all the best OOC players again and left with the scraps as usual.

It's not going to be a quick fix. Whoever comes in is going to need a bit of time. This action has shown they are not going to get it.Gentlemen welcome to the 1980's.

I'm still hoping for a Paul Cullen/John Kear dreamteam.

We don't know what's gone on though, if Furner has caused division within the squad/the club it may be best to cut ties now rather than let it continue.

Like I say I don't know what's gone on Furner seems like a nice genuine guy but if there's an issue it needed sorting sooner rather than later.

I can't beleive nobody has mentioned Powell. Thought he was a fan favorite on here

Not my favourite

Powell's ruled himself out....not much point discussing.

It’s all got a very Manchester United vibe about it. Coming off the back of the most successful period in the club’s history, with very little forward planning. Now looking to throw a wad at a series of different coaches and hoping something will stick. Totally ignoring the fact the squad is very poor.

For 2003 onwards see Class of 92.

Some of these suggestions are classic. At least Bullseye was tongue in cheek.

Paul Deacon. He could teach Myler how to control a game behind a beaten pack

Harry G - it's been a long time!
