Just found this on the giants forum:

Well we wont be getting Jon Sharp back if Nathan Brown goes,hes going to Bradford as head coach,heard that from someone who works for the Bulls as Macnamara has got the England job

If the rumour of Jon Sharp is true then I fear an even rougher next couple of years!

That's actually how I read it at first!

could be some sense in sharp.didnt macca start as a coach under sharp?. so macca may have reccomended him. plus sharp is, I think ,currently out of work (or is he stilll director of rugby at hull?) so available to start immediately. At best though this could only be seen as a like for like replacement and not an improvement. suppose it could just be a caretaker appointment till end of season and I suppose its a slight improvement on mcdermott.

Jon Sharps Nobles assistant in Wales.

For some reason we, super league, don't give our young coaches the right education or patience. We rush them in fairly young and demand instant sucess.

From the rumours in Sydney mcmanara will be smiths assistant next year, he'll also bring a couple of sl players, and he'll further his education.

Why would any young coach want the England job? It's full time, what a joke, and a up hill battle because of the strengh of Australia.

I'd like to see a time served coach motivate the side backed up by a top super league coach (maguire or brown).

Sharpe has to be RL's most boring man.

I'm very aware the RFL are wanting a full-time coach, but does Macca need to take the job up on a full-time basis right now? With just one friendly IIRC before the end of the season, you'd hope he could continue doing what he's doing here until October (hopefully by bowing out with a GF win), thus also giving the board maximum time to find the right man to succeed him.

I honestly hope it isn't true though, be a shame when the seeds are just starting to bear fruit under Macca's reign now, that he would walk out to take on a job with England.

Not really too bothered where Macca goes, if he goes. The main concern I have is the Bulls getting the right coach for 2011.

I don't see Sharpe as that man. We need fresh ideas from down under methinks. Surely there's another Michael McGuire type we can attract?

After all the flak he has had from so many fans, calling for his head, who could blame him? I'm sure though that none of those who have called for his head would not now berate him, should he indeed do what they have been asking him to do for so long?

Wider RL public are going to hate this appointment, presuming it happens. SM's stock is a lot lower amongst the disinterested than it is on here.

Sharpe REALLY started to get on my wick when Huddersfield were losing week after week and he came out with the same nonsense "Yeah I'm really pleased with the lads, we're not far off" like he was some sort of bald Zombie.

If I wanted to watch a bald Zombie muttering to himself I'd look in the mirror when I'm up at 2am with the baby.
