The big rumor down here in Penrith is that now Phil Gould has signed on as coaching director either Brad Fittler or Nathan Brown will be the next Panthers coach
I personally hope it's Nathan (sorry guys) as I have always had a wrap on him as a coach

I'm sure whatever is going on the club will know what's best, they haven't done too badly in recent seasons...personally, I hope Brown stays, but we might get someone better if he goes...

There's someone better than NB ?????

Possibly...but who really thought Brown would have been this good for us when he signed? Or Tony Smith?

like all good arm chair managers i am better obviously LOL

Or we should have polls every week on here to pick the team

Anyone who fills our empty trophy cabinet with silver (as long as they haven't pinched it) will be classed as better than Brown.

Isn't Wayne Bennet available next season?

There's no way he would leave Aus' due to his personal circumstances AFAIK.

Wayen Bennet is already signed up with Newcastle next season anyway. No way would he come to SL, he's the greatest RL coach of all time and could get any job he wanted.

mind you wayne bennett did play for fartown at one time in the 70s i seem to remember, so you never know, on the nb subject i hear hes 80% likely to stay, cant make his mind up but his other half is keen for him to remain employed, so with no offers on the table from the nrl hopefully the other 20% sees sense.

Wayne Bennett played on the Wing next to Billy Pickup, my local ex-landlord
