Oh, absolutely, I've said many times that any replacement really should be a keen young current NRL Assistant, who apart from having cut his teeth in that environment, will have extensive contacts and extensive NRL player knowledge including both young and established players nobody here has really heard of. The likes of Jeremy Donougher, Danny Peacock et al.

Also, if we have an Aussie, the RFL are less likely to steal him for the National Team job, like they've done to the last 2 coaches we've had.

Lucky escapes both, if you ask me. The 2 most useless and clueless coached in the history of the game, yet each inexplicably appointed to international coach. How jammy are we?

With all the trouble at Melbourne, Craig Bellamy might be available, if you could afford him.

Depends if you use the figures from the main filing cabinet, or the one in the back room?

Personally I would like to see Nobbie come back but with Hood in charge I doubt that will happen .

I keep hearing John Sharpe being mentioned...i just hope we dont go for the cheap and cheerfull, according to Hood on the radio yesterday he said we allready have a few hats in the ring..As for Nobby ? i wouldnt rule him out just yet..

This is obvioulsy not same Jon Sharpe, ex Shudds coach.

Afraid so...minor spelling mistake on my part..

Would that be the manner where we were on our financially & not only did he remove his own wages from the wage bill he got us £450,000 for Fielden

But the guy has a point.
