Maguire's been offered a job at The Titans & The Knights, so the chances of us getting him are pretty much zero.

We'll speak to a few coaches in the NRL over the next couple of weeks but my moneys on Jason Demitriou.

Wayne Bennett will probably be looking for a new job by December.

Oh goodness me,no. Coaching guru with a stellar career CV he may be, but heaven help us he is one miserable so-and-so. He has a face that would send Barney the Purple Dinosaur into fits of depression.

We could beat Wigan 78-1 in the Grand Final and he'd complain bitterly that we conceded one, before heading off home to listen to Joy Divisions entire back catalogue.

After the Cup Final the other week, a random Australian told me in a London pub that he has trained himself to have lots of power naps throughout the day, including in the dressing room on match days.

It was just before last orders... so I may have made that all up.

No chance Maguire or any front line NRL boss.

Think Fairleigh, Furner types.

Don't be under any illusions that we've rocked up in Oz, hopped off a plane and are starting our search. Ignore any talk of coming back with a long list for the board too. We will already have a shortlist of interested candidates and probably some who are tentative and who need some persuasive chat.

Choosing the right coach is a hard task. Don't be surprised if we don't get it right first time. Wouldn't mind betting that this time next year we're on our 2nd /3rd successor to TS.

jesus no Wayne Bennett is a no go for me !! having heard some recent stories about him in the England set up he would be a huge mistake !!!!

Geoff Toovey ??? how inspiring

If it's Toovey, I give up for good.

So is going to Australia a smoke screen, they then come back and say yes we signed Toovey, may aswell give Agar the job as give it him. But while they over there they best check that Akauola is still coming since his friend as decided to leave.

Agar's accepted the job at St George hasn't he ? Or has that not been announced yet ?

Last I read was he was happy to stay here as he still had a year on his contract,not sure how that will be affected with the new coach.
