Just read that Matthew Elliott is about to be ousted from his post at Penrith.

He's already coached over here and been successful, maybe he would be possibility for us for next year??

It has to be Brian Noble for me, let him bring his own back room staff if he wants and give him a free hand to organise us into a professional super league outfit. He did a great job at his previous clubs. I was particularly impressed how he set up the Crusaders last year.

Wayne Bennett rejected an offer to return and coach for the Brisbane Broncos

He did. He also rejected Russell Crowe's offer of a deal at Souths. Something tells me that there was probably a lot more offers tabled and rejected over the last few weeks. Makes you wonder why he chose the deal at Newcastle?

Back on topic. I'd love the club to observe and model our entire club set up on the Brisbane model. It's all there in black and white in 'Wayne Bennett; 21 years a Bronco.' Sure, Brizzy have far more $ at their disposal but that doesn't mean to say that we can't still use their model.
Have a read folks... Although don't be too upset if you don't find a sentence that reads [size"Brian Noble is the answer"

I would personally like to see Adrian Lam if he doesn't got ot Wigan, winner on the pitch who you only ever hear spoken of in positive terms.
Asuming we get the franchise get the right hungry youg coach in and say there you go fill your boots you've got 3 years to make a name for yourself and hopefully for the club.
Though what I would suggest is say if we did get a Lam type and offered him a 3 year deal put in a huge release clause if a bigger SL or Aussie team come sniffing.

Is this your first time on here sal? I guess they don't know you that well.

Brian Noble ticks most boxes.
The trouble is that there is an element on the Turkey that will be bad mouthing him from day one.
He is a pro.
The others being suggested are mainly either coaches who are unlikely to come here or completely untried at this level.

Just to clarify, I'm not in any 'anti-Noble' group. My belief is that wholesale changes are required as opposed to just signing a coach.

Ok.Noble brings a fresh back room staff .

Having had the very great misfortune to have watched the U 20s get pasted by just about everyone (before the 1st team usually do !) whoever comes in needs to have that experience to be able to completely restructure our backroom at all levels. I just hope the money is there to do this.
A season of great expectations and celebrations is turning into a disaster I jist hope it can be turned around.
Onwards to Hudds keep the faith, what we have left.
