How about Tony Smith as head of Rugby and Rohan Smith Coaching

Geoff toovey
Rohan Smith
James Lowes
Francis Cummins
Mick Potter
Steve Macbanana

Odds on any of these taking over??

Someone who when he shout S**T THEY ALL JUMP ON THE SHOVEL!! Geoff Toovey would be my choice but he may be too outspoken both for the players and management.He does does not have favourites.

I agree with Steve the club needs to make a statement. Of intent and we need a strong outspoken coach because we need to know what is really going on within the club.

Was Stone the right man for the job I just don’t know. Did he get sacked for the results or challenging the culture and running of the club. ?

Did he get the players he wanted or was he told who he could have ?

What I do know is that he was not getting a new contract and was going at the end of the season. If so how undermining was that if him within the team ?

If he was going at the end of the season and they wanted a new coach why were decisions taken now on signing players for next season.

Clough Roberts and seb fair enough.
But why saddle the new coach with a stop gap deal for a player past his best now and who will be blocking a new signing for the new coach.

You can see it now. Geoff Toovey I want to sign an upcoming Aussie half back not a great kicker but excellent organiser, quick skilful good hands and will allow us to be more threatening in attack. Can we sign him ?

Thewlis no because Danny Brough is our marquee half back can you just train him up to be the half back you need oh and by the way if you cannot and results are bad you are sacked.


My view is that anything less than a tough no nonsense tell it like it is coach will confirm mine and others suspicions about the club not being run properly.

As much as I like Thorman I feel his appointment will be employ a company man who will be too afraid to talk out loud. The current post seems like a poison chalice.

I have not watched a Giants game for 18 months. I cannot even bring myself to watch tem on TV. I do not have the emotional energy to waste on them.

I have criticised the club for several years longer than anyone on here.

Nothing would bring me back quicker than seeing the club make a statement of intent with the coach BUT more importantly seeing the club make a statement of intent on how it is currently run.

If History is any guide , don't hold your breath mate.

I’m not holding my breath - but I am holding onto my cash!

And I’m not the only one.

For me, Thorman is part of the problem and has to go. He's now been part of two administrations that have done nothing. I have more sympathy for Robinson because of the work he's doing with the academy.

A full clear out is needed to get any change.

A name not thrown in the mix yet is Shaun Edwards. He hasn't said no to returning to league, but he admits he's been out a long time so he needs to relearn. I think the Giants may interest him

I think you'd be doomed if you went with Geoff Toovey. The guy just didn't look like he had a clue about the British game. The same drivel was talked about week after week. Its like night and day at Odsal with Kear in charge, even if the standard of the opposition is awful.

Personally, I think you could do a lot worse than going with someone like Rohan Smith. A genuine up and coming coach who has a brilliant approach to the game. You'd only have him a few years mind as I'm convinced he's NRL bound.

Interesting how Nathan brown gets the plaudits for the successes in Anderson’s first year. But Chris Thorman isn’t getting the same for the work with the U19s.....

Mainly because bar Jon Luke, sam and tyllar he didn’t coach the second or first years currently in the system, things different under Robbo, chris did great job with players like Jake Connor sam wood and Darnell but his last year as 19’s coach they finished 3rd bottom
