I wonder if it was to do with being asked to take a reduced salary? I've no inside knowledge, but given the rumoured financial constraints, its not beyond the realms that he was asked to take a cut.

Saying they are looking for a proven experienced coach though so surely if thats what they are looking for that cant be an issue

It would seem the new owners have already dropped the ball.

Bugger!

Massive respect goes out to Rohan for his work during this entire fiasco. I'm gutted you won't be with us next season. All the best for the future!

Is anyone seriously surprised?

So a new coach to find along with a new team now, good stuff.

I'm liking their style already, let's ditch anyone who has shown any loyalty. No room for sentimentality in this game.

Who are the front runners?

Leon as player coach? Paul Anderson? Glen Morrison? Henry Paul? Nick Zisti?

What a shame. Sounds like the new regime are doing it their way and sentimentality is out.

On Lowes: the man is a doylum. Great hooker, Bulls legend but doylum none the less. Pryce would have a massive head start if we were to compare.

If its right what I've been told the money Rohan was on it's no wonder the last club was in the strife. Massively over payed for a novice championship coach.

A few of us had this conversation and we were split regarding Rohan.
A great guy who came at the wrong time and showed a good attitude.
On the other side of the coin were the rumours of some player discontent. We did look great at times but we also had some horrendous games where attitude was poor. That Fev game probably broke the club and he dropped O'Brien.

Overall I think the jury is out and he will be a good coach one day. I would shake his hand and thank him.
Would you take a more experience guy right now like a John Kear if he had been available?
I don't blame the owners if they go with their coach. Their money - their choice.
We need someone who can get the team to play every game - not just now and then. It may be an unknown coach to us but not the owners.

Lance Du'Lac mentioned something similar during an interview on the radio when we were liquidated. He stated that people like Leigh Beattie were on next to nothing whereas he was on a fairly decent amount. I assume the same could be said about the players wages as well?

Go for kear if they've any sense.,but probably be Harrison

Wonder if Karl Harridpn would come back? Would probably have the right contacts for level we are at now

I think Harrison will figure somewhere.

Didn't Karl Harrison say that he was finished with coaching, hence becoming a player agent?

I hope we don't automatically go down the former player route again, it didn't end well last time.
