It'd be a bit daft to do that anyway unless they'd got a top top name for 10 bob a week or something. Better to open the market and see who is interested. You never know who might fancy the job.
I hear they're getting plenty of applicants.

The appointment of Lowes (if it happens), really would give a huge indication of how tight the budget really is at Odsal (IMO).

No disrespect to Jimmy, fantastic player, doing a good assistant job, but to give him the reins at the Bulls could be potentially disastrous.

As I've said before, an Aussie would be the way to go for me, bringing some fresh ideas in with him.

I read into Lowes retention at Wire that it was all part of the pay-off for losing the HC gig. Even Wayne Bennett needs someone to put out the cones & shout occasionally.

Agreed.

However I have a potential solution.

I was chatting to Ridlerbull at the Leeds game about this and it could be a goer. Why don't WE apply? We all think we know it all. Perhaps we should send in an application? Now there may be a few logistical problems (who goes to the interview?) and if we're successful we'll need a much bigger dugout but these aren't insurmountable. We could have specific posters taking on different elements of the job. Mick G could do the after match interviews and blame it all on the ref. FA could look after the intricacies of explaining the rules. ME could provide the team with a stirring team-talk to get them all positive!

They say 2 heads are better than 1. How about 200 heads?

Jesus can you imagine how long it would take ME and FA to come to an agreement?! They'd be arguing over head or tails for the coin toss...

I like to sit on the fence so I could decide the coin toss.
