We're just worse at getting away with it than other clubs we could mention. |

The history books will record what really happened, and where. Unless maybe some hapless chief exec's PA accidentally gives the wrong files to the salary cap auditor here too...  |

I'd considering feeding you, against my better judgment, but instead I'll just laugh at your latest "indiscression" (sic) |

I said "could" mention. Didn't say I would
Of course, in reality, players take lower contracts to play for certain teams, all because they love that club so much. In fact, all players do it, including those that don't even want to be there. Honest. |

the only way he would ever come to you guys would be if the bulls could be tempted to infringe the salary cap enough to ensure that he could sign/retain world class players,whilst hiding their secret contracts in a secret safe! ![]()
So hows your champion team doing so far this season?

I'm confident that either Kearney or Orford can bring the Albert Goldthorpe medal to Odsal actually.

Interesting snippet, from a (excellent, and well worth reading) report in another place on the recent Quins' fans forum:
"Brian Mac Dermott and Bradford Bulls
'The taciturn Head Coach issued a "no comment" to a question about reports in RLE linking him with the Bradford Bulls Job. David Hughes added that Mac was under contract to Harlequins until the end of the 2011 season and the club had not been approached by Bradford about his availability."

Sometimes hard to read is Brian.
His no comment could mean anything:
1. Yes I am very interested and the Bulls have spoken to me.
2. Yes I am very interested and the Bulls have not spoken to me.
3. I'm not interested, but I'm not telling you that in the hope Quins offer me a contract extention.
4. You know as much as me - owt could happen

I think thats right, the only thing it tells us is its not a definate no, as thats easy to say (unless you want to use leverage against your current club for an extention as per option 3.)
One of McNamaras first comments on the England speculation;
"It’s not an issue and it’s not a subject at all for me at this moment in time"
Again a coach clearly not ruling anything in or out and keeping options open, as McDermott is probably doing.
I'd be astonished if A) he's not himself interested on the right terms, and B) not on our shortlist of possibles the club would consider.
I think this speculations got a while to run yet though.

For all those who want a first-grade Aussie coach, again I'd say be careful what you wish for. How many stay here for long? And how many see out their full contract? rlNathan Brownrl is making it pretty clear (IMO) that if he gets a decent offer from the NRL next year he will be wanting off, despite having another year on his contract.
"I won't be coaching anyone else in England next year, that's for sure. If I'm here , I'll be at the Giants"
Maybe some clubs are happy with the swap deal where they get a very good coach for a couple of years, while the coach gets the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him and his family to see Europe. Whether that makes for long-term planning and stability is another issue, although its quite possible some clubs prefer a regular change of coach?
