I think they need to give up on the idea of getting a full time coach. What kind of coach wants to sac off their club career for a team that will play 5 matches next year, 2 of them meaningful, with a prospect of a third if they win one of the two meaningful ones.

Especially as the international game is seen as second prize to the club game worldwide.

No reasonable coach would want the job.

I think Hanley will be in the frame, i'm fairly non-plussed about this. I think the clamour to get 'Ex Pro's' back involved sometimes is a tad overrated, that said, there's not too many candidates jumping out is there.

I've actually a funny feeling that Justin Morgan might find himself in the frame also, he's always come across quite an ambitous bloke, and I think if the opportunity found itself at his door, he'd take it.

Do you really think he'd leave Hull KR?

Not sure.

Would he have to ?

He just comes across as somebody who's very driven. He's done alot in a short career, took opportunities when they've come along and has got a fair bit of experience in different cultures now, played in Australia, coached here, France, involved in the Wales setup etc.

It's just my opinion, if the opportunity presented itself, he'd be interested.

Agree with what you say, but a full-time coach would be dedicated solely to the national team or have I got that wrong?

I'm not sure what the crack is honestly.

You look at how Smith has juggled the last calendar year, it's certainly possible to combine roles. Morgan I guess, would just have to be keen to basically to go all year without a break, once the SL finished, he'd be off to Australia.

If nothing else, with the additional salary, he'd be able to get another couple of those 'cool' pinstripe suits.

Full time means does nothing else. That's what I understand the RFL want (but either won't get, or will get with a comedy coach)

No, no, no, no, no. Take it from a Quins season ticket holder. You dont mean that.

Yup, and coaching Cas to relegation, what a winner...
