Being a coach means coaching rugby. Surely being a media monkey is secondary.Some like it ,others don`t.Does it matter?

Wouldn't bother me if our new coach did no media work at all, as long as he does the job on the field.

I believe he would, he is a top bloke, speaks his mind hence he was shiit on by our board.

The name being discussed now on the VT is that we / Bradford and Hudds are after/looking at Jason Taylor.

Don't much about taylor but few aussies on VT say he's a good coach and would be best coach in super league if he came over.

Meninga open to Saints offer. www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... elens.html Would he be prepared to leave behind his all conquering Maroon's side for Saints. I'm still hopeful McManus will see the light and announce Peter Sharp as your new head coach.

That Hull side of 06 were certainly a tough bunch of s to beat.
I'd prefer him to Pat Sharp, unless we get the twins as well. How about Peter Sharp and just one of the twins (Martina, obviously)?

We could get the club mascots doing that car race round the outside of the pitch, collection points tokens!

MAL WILL FINALLY RETURN!!!!

Get him in Saints. Dident have the best time with Canberra but Meninga oozes respect. Luck at Willies Talau facebook, he only as one picture posing with a Rugby League great and guess who it is ? MAL. With comments from other NRL players saying the guy is a legend.

Can you imagine up and comming centres ? they'd love to be coached by him.

I'd also give Purtill a more advanced role.

Oh yes baby, Bring him home. Newsflash just in Jamie Lyon confirmed Saints coach 2030.

Meninga has a thriving business in Brisbane and that's a major reason why he has never took a full time club coaching position in Aus.

The chances of him coaching at Saints, slim to zero.
Unless you buy him a flat in Parr of course.

I'm sure his agent knows more about his business than you, eh Rogues.

Or is his agent a Wigan fan ?

Bum twitching from the Pie

You know what would make me laugh. Wigan fans who believe they have first rights on all Melbourne players because they've spent 1 or 2 years under Maguire. I think that first option would turn into '2nd' option ig Big Mal was appointed.

Get it rubber stamped Eamonn.

No my friend, a reasoned approach.
I'll tell you what we'll do.

If Meninga is appointed coach of Saints I will donate £30 to the Steve Prescott fund. If he isn't then you donate £30 to the Mike Gregory fund.

Your call.

I donate money to them BOTH anyway!

I cant understand why you think you know more than his agent ? Mal isent at another club, therfore it's certainly not a case of bumping up his salary. Saints might have somebody else lined up, who knows. However it's nice to know that a true legend would be interested becoming the coach of one of the worlds leading clubs.

So do I.
So is the bet on or not?

A simple yes or no will do.

Answer my question and i shall answer yours.

Why do you think you know better than his agent ?

I simple explanation would do.

I have explained before. He has a thriving business and I don't think he'll leave it to come over here.

My £30 says he won't.
Does your £30 say he will?

We can make it £50 if you are so confident.

You must be a bookie.

"You pick one bloke, I'll pick every other bloke in the world, and offer you even money".

That wasent the question.

The question is (Put your glasses on, old man) why do you know more about Mal than his agent ?

FWIW i'll help you out a little as you obviously dont know. He currently only owns 1 retail market which he has a manager for, not exactly stressfull stuff. He sold his fruit and veg market the other year.

Oh the irony.

Meninga is one of the leading contenders amongst the current Saints players. I wouldnt be surprised if he were our next coach.

I don't need to know his agent.
I know Shenton and Perry have signed for Saints (and I don't know their agents)
I know that Finch has signed for Wigan.

So in that case will you take that bet on Meninga being the next Saints (manger/ coach)

A simple yes or no will do.

So his agent says "If an offer does come, you could say Mal will consider it", but as usual Rogues has better inside info. Just because you don't want it to happen doesn't mean to say that it won't happen. If Meninga does become Saints new coach it will be because for whatever reason it suits him to take the job. I'm hoping that the Chairman makes him the offer of a lifetime that he just can't refuse.

I have no insider info on this, and don't claim to.

I have been told from good sources that Perry and Shenton have signed for Saints and that Finch has signed for Wigan.

Could be right, could be wrong. We'll see.
