You can have Terry Matterson if you want, i'll even drive him down for you!!!!

No, No, No, what major success has he had in Super League? also we need someone who has a media presence they would never understand Karl, we would be a flat cap sport!

1 Relegation from and 1 Promotion to SL with Salford.

Won what now masquerades as The Northern Rail Cup twice in all it's forms (with Salford and Batley), also beating Leigh in their back yard on the way to the final as well as coaching Batley to the quarter finals of this season's Challenge Cup.

Now I'll give you that that isn't "Major Success in Super League" as you questioned but in a little over 12 months he's turned Batley from Relegation fodder into Cup winners and currently has Batley in a 3 way fight for the Championship play offs on a pretty limited budget.

On top of all that he has been a No 2 under Nobby at Bulls and has worked with Senior Scholars at Giants.

With a record like that I say we'd be daft at least not to have him on the radar as a Head Coach replacement.

Worst thing that can happen is that Quins have a chat with him over the vacancy and he turns us down.

If he could acheive something similar on a limited SL budget at Quins he'd have us all enjoying it and I dare say you'd be kissing his !!!

BMs recruitment was arguably as miserable as his personality. Lets take a trip down memory lane (and apologies for any lapses).

For the 2007 season, Tony Rea would likely still have been involved for bringing in the likes of Scott Hill, Danny Orr and Julien Rinaldi. Then there was the Yorkshire massive of Jon Grayshon, David Toothill, Joe Walsh, Andy Smith and Luke Burgess (on loan).

For 2008, a few contract extensions (Curtis Melling, Karl Temata, Chad Randall and Henry Paul) but not much in terms of new faces with just Danny Ward and Gareth Haggerty. Henry Fa'afili could have been good.

The boat was really pushed out for 2009 though, with BM building his team around Luke Williamson and Chad Robinson. Luke Dorn was resigned plus Mick Nanyn, Matt Gardner, Ben Kaye, Luke Gale and Jason Golden. BM was rlchuffedrl and thought this was the most balanced squad the club had seen for quite some time.

2010 saw Ryan Esders brought in after a loan spell in 2009 plus Oliver Wilkes, Matt James, Andy Ellis, Ben Jones and Ben Jones-Bishop (on loan).

We've certainly lost some great players in that time (and BM has sent some not so good ones to the naughty step) but of the 20+ BM signings who do you think are the great ones ?

I'll venture Jason Golden was a good one and Andy Ellis may in time prove to be a great one.

Agree with you re Golden and Ellis. I also think Luke Gale's come on during his time with us and could turn out to be a quality acquisition - if there's a Quins to play for next year.

Quite a few missing signings...
2006 - Paul Noone (loan) and Anthony Stewart (loan)
2006 - Richard Villasanti (although Tony Rea might get the blame on this one)
2007 - David Howell
2007 - Stephen Bannister (played 7 games)
2007 - Sione Faumuina
2007 - Joe Mbu & Rikki Sheriffe
2010 - David Mills (loan)
2010 - Kevin Penny (loan)
2010 - Kyle Bibb (loan)
