When you add in housing, visas, flights, everything else, It would cost more to hire an Aussie. I certainly hope it happens, but I wouldn't be certain.



Justin Morgan is already over here though

Noble back as Director of Rugby with the young rookie Lowes as Coach picking the team........Experience and Youth!....It would be a good combination!

Not sure we could afford both Noble and Lowes. I'm also not sure if Lowes would want to move jobs just to another assistant post.

Terry O'Connor thinks it's definitely McDermott.

all true but the same added expenses are there for aussie players too. the reason its feasible to bring them in rather than sign british also goes for coaches. the exchange rate between gbp and oz dollars works in our favour, admittedly not as much as it used to but its still favourable.

That wouldn't surprise me.

Who is the assistant at Manly? Ready to step up with Beaver as his assistant?

If it is from GB I would think definitely. I would prefer he stayed at London & continue the apparently excellent development work which is more vital to the good of the game.

TBF I think of the names being bandied about he's probably our best option if were sticking to a british coach. He's got a good reputation for bringing youth through and he's been a bit hamstrung this year with the sheer weight of injuries quins have suffered. I really hope we look overseas though. We need something to kick start interest up at Odsal imo.

Agree with that Mat

What's Peter Sharp doing atm?


If we're going for a British coach then Noble & McDermott in that order. I'd still hate to see McDermott coaching us anytime soon though.

Jon Sharp and Ben Cooper coming to the Bulls and Lee St Hilaire leaving

Anyone checked where he is living these days?

About as much chance as me painting my balls claret and gold.
