I don't see Big Mal coming back over here now and not convinced about his ability as a club coach either.

I don't see Daniel Anderson coming back either. He seems settled outside of coaching and has set up a business now hasn't he?

David Fairleigh is quite likely IMO.

We had some good years under DA, should have achieved more if anything. He seems to be liked at Parramatta, general manager there now a few seasons after a mixed time as coach. Not sure he is the answer or that he would come here at this stage.

Would certainly prefer him to Cunningham and hopefully the rumours that he doesn't feel ready are true, as frankly I'd be surprised if he was up to it yet.

I personally don't want big Mal but I'm told he has this aura round him that rubs off on players.

I think fairleigh is looking favourite out the names mentioned but I'm not sure how and who he's coached previous but seem to think he was USA coach in last World Cup.

Cook Islands wasn't it? I don't think he's ever been head coach in NRL.

Yes think it was Cook Islands.


Not sure I want a complete novice, we've made huge steps in last two years and can't have a novice learn his trade and us suffer a setback

To be fair to Fairleigh he's had a much longer apprenticeship than KC. But I know what you mean. I think I'd like to have KC as coach with an experienced figure like Anderson or Sheens as director of rugby.

I just can't see KC as a first team coach at all.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned paul rowley yet. Leigh are really well coached.

I know it's at a lower level and would be a big risk, but I'd rather go with him than someone with no head coach exp.

I'd take DA as he'll bring rigid structure to our side which we need somewhat. You can certainly count on the defence being tip top and then we'll have plenty flair in the backline to trouble other teams.

I have reservations about Meninga as being a full time club coach and bringing players together for a few weeks are very different. The players are effectively 'coached' elsewhere whilst Mal just has to gel them together.

Tim Sheens would be my pick out of the rumours. Experienced, proven and just a great coach.

There's betting available rlhererl.

Potentially some value to be had if you take Eddie Cunningham's Twitter comments at face value. Can't see Sheens giving up the Australia gig for Super League. Anthony Griffin?

Nearly cried at the site of Steve McBanana on that list.

I was more concerned Millward was!

Interesting there's odds though, lots of names mentioned that I've not seen on here and vice versa...

Rob Powell?? Haha

No one's mentioned Tony Smith.
I wouldn't be surprised if he could be coaxed away from Wire. Would you be happy with him?

Yes, although another "give-nothing-away" laid-back Aussie might not win over any more fans than Brown did.

I think Smith is a very good coach, and also a good judge of horseflesh. He'd do.

However, I also wouldn't be too disappointed if we landed Sheens, Meninga or Fairleigh.

I'd be appalled if we got McNamara.

I can't quite work out what I'd think if we got Noble.
