A 'Director' seems to be the way to go these days - it means EVERYONE singing from the same hymn sheet. Be it in an unofficial or official capacity.

Quins simply need a 'style' of play from bottom to top - if the 'Director' can achieve this - then i dont see an issue with it.

That idea by alanw (Hello) actually isn't bad. The staff of both codes have,in fact, been known to speak to each other on occasion. Can't believe nobody else at the Stoop has thought of it. Possibly they have and been rejected due other commitments ie their own season, perhaps? But that'll be over soon and maybe the man in question would like a 'busmans holiday'. Maybe. Certainly a good shout, anyway.

PS - There was a Street Party down my way last Friday for some reason that temporarily escapes me. It was a very warm day so I wore my fave. Quins shirt. ('06 Home, since you ask). Anyway, nice neighbour comes up to me and says 'If I'd known things were going to be political, I'd have worn my Bath shirt.' Then he has a closer look,
'[iLEAGUE[/i you ba$tid!' which I considered to be a suitable opening gambit for a long conversation that involved several additional pints'n'burgers. Great fun. Vive l'Quins!

Dunno what happened there. Sorry 'bout that. Carry on...

They made Paul Sculthorpe travel down to award the boys try of the month at Roehampton and Boot's n' All is filmed in Isleworth I think so a few days a week would not be outrageous, but would obviously be more strenuous than a small journey to Halifax and help with their full training of just a few days a week.

Why would anyone think a coach with no Director Of Rugby experience would be able to assist a coach with little experience of Super League coaching?
I don't recall anyone except Steve Simms in the role in the UK, and possibly Tony Smith, and neither seem to have done much for the actual coaches - given none of them are currently head coaches anywhere.
Maybe David Waite could do the job, but not Noble.
I wouldn't be happy if I was Powell - the club knew the deal.
The clincher is probably cash.

Think he needs some help, apparently the senior players help out but he needs an experienced coach with him. Think Tony Rae would be a good idea, and i would have nothing against anyone from the RU set up helping us out
