I believe Tony Smith lives locally still. Wonder if he’ll consider it?

About time. Shocked the club have even considered this! Ignoring all our off field problems, attendences etc, hopefully Thorman can get us playing some better rugby, that our players will enjoy playing and in a couple of months we may start to look half decent again.

One thing is for certain... there should be no rash decisions or quick fixes when choosing another coach.
Personally would like to see a British coach too.
I'm backing Thorman 100% to put some heart back on us.

I've been checking the news every couple of hours since the weekend for this. I'm quite relieved, nice bloke but sadly we've gone backwards. Hope Spuggy can step up and get us playing some attractive rugby!

Probably the Right decision based on results.

Rick Stone is a good guy, he has time and respect for everyone and despite results this season he’s a good coach and man manager.

I hope he goes well somewhere when he gets back to Australia

The right decision. Clearly a nice fella who loved to play boring safety first rugby.

I think the day of the Aussie coach has gone. A UK coach please.

Suprised Andy Kelly wasn't put in charge temporarily as happened last time,Rick dug his own grave by making rumbling noises in the press about a new contract and churning out very poor performances and results at the same time.As we have allready appeared to have made a lot of recruitment and retention decisions for next season who ever comes in could find himself in a very difficult situation in trying to alter the losing culture currently in the club.

Andy Kelly - I thought you wanted to start winning - if you aren't bothered about winning re-appoint Paul Anderson

If you want a young British coach - Danny Ward

Stone is a quality coach and I believe he would have got it right if given more time. But a poor start and the taxi awaits.

But the club have obviously listened to the moaning fans.

Just out of interest, what makes you think Rick was/is a quality coach?

probably not, he has fallen out with rugby league full stop and gone into other business ventures.

in anycase i dont think he left on good terms with davy and thewlis doing a runner to leeds rhinos.

well there we go, rick stone the scapegoat gets the chop... feel abit sorry for the guy, hes cleary a top bloke and been let down by the players that he inherited, his hands were tied to some extent when he joined as we were basically upto the salary cap and signing 5 bradford players which were already done deals.

the club needs a new lease of life and that starts at the top, many including me believe thewlis is a bigger problem than any coach at this club.

i knew weeks ago stone wasnt getting a new deal and said so on here, this was also know by the players... so who has really been making the decisions on the players that have just renewed deals?? brough one was a big mistake

whoever comes in has a big task on their hands and needs to be a very strong character to try and get his own way on things like bringing in his own backroom staff for starters not like stone being given a team to work with (thorman/robinson etc)

certainly thank stone for saving the club from a relegation battle, and getting us into the top 8 last season.... our upturn in form came with mamo who actully signed.
this season got off too a bad start and with the last two results the writing was on the wall so someone had to get the chop and as head coach its him... shame we cant sack a few players too who let him down,


what will change now??????? not a right lot as we still have the same group of players...hope we can survive in sl this year and maybe the new coach can get his own players in with the likes of hinchliffe and murphy leaving to free up some cap space

Just a thought on people saying Chris thorman as future coach... You do know that he is currently our attacking coach...
