To be honest it's about time he moved on anyway. As the Wigan and Leeds fans rightly point out, we have missed out on the two most valuable trophies this year. If we are ever to be a big club, we need to be ruthless and ambitious.
We know how to defend properly now, the obvious solution is staring everyone in the face - re appoint Paul Cullen.

I can't imagine he will leave the UK.

Tongue in cheek eh Winslade ??

I'm confident he'll be with us for a few more years.
He'll want to win a GF and see the youngsters develop.
He's a 1st class relationship with Moran and the job would have to be very very good for him to go and that would only be NRL
but he's a domiciled Brit.

Not at all, just because he has had a bit of success here doesn't mean we can't do better. Is it unreasonable of us to expect to win the hubcap and GF trophies this year ? Do we want to become the St Helen's of RL, constantly losing GF after GF and not be able to afford decent cladding around our stadium ?

Two matches off the triple, get real chaps !

Going off interviews etc over the years with him I think it is highly unlikely he will be with us for Super League XIX, unless the money really was too good to turn down. Having not long become a British citizen I can't see him going to the NRL, though the challenge must surely be tempting. I would like to see what he could achieve at a club like Widnes or Hull who have the money and the infrastructure to be successful. I couldn't tell you who I would replace him with though!

that aside its a good interview he sounds a knowledgeable bloke and makes sense when Saying the RFL can do more to promote the game (he may have heard radio adverts like I have today promoting tickets for the Rugby Union "grand Final" EIGHT MONTHS away.)

Sounds like a top bloke

RLWC2013 is currently being promoted with over a year to go. Have you checked out ticket details yet?

If I was Moran I would pay him whatever to stay with us as Smith has been fantastic since he joined.

When he joined we were bottom and we played Leeds at home in his first game we just got beat as McGuire went over to win it from Riley's mistake ever since he's turned this Club around. I would keep him.

Don't think there is anyone connected with the club that wouldn't keep him.

It's just a question of does he want to stay or does he see another project somewhere?

Please stay

I suspect its only 50;50 that he will be with us after next season. However, from what I read there are a number of NRL coaches floating around at the moment so he may find it difficult to walk into a job in the NRL. But he has nothing to prove here in the UK, and the game is much bigger over there, so I would be surprised if his ambitions were not to get a job in Oz and prove he can be successful over there as well. stevemascord.com/2012/09/11/tony ... -nrl-post/
