Woaaahh, Ewwen. I'd knock the rest of SL clear out of the way of the Bulls.

You could even log onto the T&A as "Bulls4champs2010 for the Sack" and play merry hell about the coach!

You forgot to include Mystic Eddie though?

I agree re McDermott - Duckman argues the case well.

I picked up something the other day which made me think he could be a strong candidate. With the possible exception of Michael, he'd be the pick of that bunch IMO.

Remember, this "shortlist" is all guess work.
We have no idea what the club have been planning or who they have been speaking to.

I expect a pretty swift statement from hood following the RFL's announcement.

Can't blame Macca for his choice, particularly if the board were split and couldn't make their minds up.
I think another 2 years would have seen us contesting a final or two again.

No doubt if someone comes in and manages to do this, it'll be about the "new coaching" and not all the hard graft Macca has done, a real shame IMO.

Indeed, he may turn out to be a clever appointment. Only time would tell mind.

I'd like to see a strong team around him though - I just hope whatever the new regime, more pennies aren't pinched here, we need to spend as much as we can afford IMO.

I'll sign up to all of that.

I'm very disappointed, and concerned. The former will remain; I hope and pray the latter will be short-lived. We'll not pay for a top coach on 7-8k gates though.

Goes without saying, but just in case its probably best you said it anyway, no worries

Flannagan? Ok cheers for the name, thats one of tomorrows lunchtime google searches sorted then.

I heard that name, from someone who posts on here, a couple of weeks back.

I've said before, if we lose Macca we need to look at Australia if we can stretch to it. Sodding weak Sterling isn't helping matters. McDerrmott would be the pick of the Brit crop for mine.
