If you do get Potter, I'd be interested to know why he didn't go home after all. Unless we didn't offer him an option?

That's exactly what it is from the way I was told. Kind of a "you won't be here next year, but if you want to tell the press it's your decision, feel free" situation. Or so I was told anyway, it's obviously not concrete fact.

If Potter really was aiming toward becoming an NRL coach eventually surely that's a good thing? You want people with drive and ambition. If he took the Bulls job it'd be in his interest to do well at it if he's to be a credible candidate in future.

Hood stop messing us southerners around-Annouce McDermott and take him now. He is rubbish.

Ps His missus moved back up north some time back.

You will see for yourselves on Fri what garbage he dishes up- Make a note of his after match comments, they will infuriate you!

Given how great you were under Tony Rea and all the locally produced youngsters you had and zero budget for Aussies?



Family member moves home shock. In other news, Geoff Hurst scores for England.



We are aware of his match comments, which seek to ignore some of the no nowt, press pack who persist in asking dim questions akin to "so close yet so far Brian", "that defeat must be really disappointing", "injuries must have hurt you". That he is so patient is more of a surprise. The game needs personalities not subservient t1ts.

I think the press are scared to ask McDermott anything more "challenging".

I can only deduce that we are waiting until after the Quins game to announce McDermott - in case announcing before makes that game a little awkward.

Im not sure thats the case although I can see the logic. [iIf [/iit is McDermott we also need to bear in mind he is contracted next season at Quins, so any announcement will, I guess, have to meet with the approval of his current employers in line with whatever compensation is owed. So any announcement timing probably isn't just up to us.

Still all guesswork mind.

I still wish we could get Menzies involved in some way.

Or noone.

Lets hope the new coach wants Menzies to sign up for another year.


I'd have thought Langley would have signed by now though.

wouldnt be surprised if we dont already have a few more of the OOC players signed up. Thing is we have to make it look like new coach is making the decisions re signings so we cant announce them before we announce the coach. Langley was specifically mentioned as being close to re-signing when we announced sykes.

ps hope that thread re macca staying at quins isnt a big wind up!

The Whitehaven second rower? Wouldn't suprise me. He was a Bulls target a few years ago.

McDermott was very much in the running, if he knows he hasn't got it, I would suggest that we have made a decision.
