people on here other than a few dare even praise macca, with the resources available to him hes doing a great job in my opinion and it will be ridiculous if he doesn't get a new contract

I put possible, with ££ being the main reason. Any young, talented Aussie coach won't come cheap.

One I didn't include is Michael Hagan, assistant to the Queensland side IIRC.

I didn't even put Noble on the list as it would be a step backwards.

Few other outside bet Aussies ?

Warren Ryan

Phil Gould

Ricky Stuart - He needs to get his career back on track after a dreadful 2009.

Brad Fittler


Whoever we choose, it could well be someone not thought about in this thread, but he needs to be the right man to continue Macca's great work on the youth side of things. Hopefully a young coach aswell as the game is always changing.

Are his looks really relevant?

I'm sure if you asked some of the Fax fans what they thought of Calland at the moment they wouldn't give you a great response.

I suppose I was thinking of teams who you would expect to win, winning but playing poorly. Wigan under John Dorahay won everything (IIRC) but he was shown the door as they didn't do it convincingly enough, I remember Cas under DVDV winning something like their first 7 games in the 80's but never with conviction & that soon faded, Wire under numerous coaches (DVDV again included).
