I remember Frank correctly predicting Rohan Smith as Jimmy's replacement.....maybe he can be the oracle again?

What say ye, Sir Whitcombe?

With a scatter-gun approach to predictions you sometimes get lucky. Done deal.

I don't work for the club and Rohan wasn't scatter gun, I had that from someone in the room when they interviewed him - it was hardly a name being thrown around at the time.

I have a friend who has been at the club for over 20 years now, but it's not SD.

Anyhoo, there's apparently a shortlist now and there's a couple of interesting names on it - that's all I know, but I'm not privy to the list.

I still think we're being softened up for it to be Sharp and Greenwood, I'm happy with Lee - I won't be watching a John Sharp robot team play.

No thanks, I'll go and watch the kids.

Sorry but after some of the shambolic rugby we saw last season I'd give my right arm for a team that can do the basics right.
If that's Jon Sharp's game then I'd say he's exactly what we need!

Either Sharp or Greenwood is fine as far as I'm concerned. We're a club which has had a disastrous fall over the last few years culminating in our current position in the bottom tier of the pro game and a bit of boring predictable robotics, and definitely without the off-field antics, will suit me very well for a while.

You could cry when you think that we are in the third tier and you watch England run the Aussies so close with 5 ex Bulls playing.

It's no wonder that the RL insist on us keeping our academy.

I dont care if they play like robots/zombies/aliens - if they win games - thats good enough for me.
Aside from a few odd games - we stopped playing entertaining footie years ago.
Given a choice of watching good rugby but losing, or watching poor rugby but winning - nowadays I'm happy to pay for the latter.
Lets get back into Super League then we can ask for pretty footie.

Who says we can't win and be entertaining and progressive that's how you get fans back isn't it? Sharp might well win games, but he has no brain, and will coach from the one book he's read.

Percentages, completion yada, yada - I'd like to be entertained on a Sunday afternoon.

It's all pretty pointless debate, as we all like different things my friend.

The thing that makes me think that Sharp would be a good idea is that when i’ve watched his teams they all seem very good defensively. They have been well organised and hard to score against.

We have players that are more than capable of exciting attacking plays. I don’t think scoring points is going to be a problem this year. Guys like Chisholm, Keyes, Minchella, Peltier, Smith, Ryan and Oakes will score plenty of points in C1.

What we need is someone who can sort out the defence. Our ability to defend has been atrocious the last few years.

I have no problem with the suggestion of Sharp with Greenwood as his assistant.
