Ah well always good for a laugh, throw the names into the hat and we can have a vote.............eats up the time until next February when we all get excited again.

Could we have a "Who would you want for Quins Coach" poll as well?

Tadge difficult to run a load of blank spaces as a poll however the same question applies in that this thread can be where names can be bandied about with gay abandon, and then they will get added to the list so in effect giving you your poll.

It will be John Kear.

It's time for Nobby to make another move. Although he was moaning about not having enough money for his Welsh team.

John Kear? No way.

What's Tony Currie up to these days? If he's still coaching, he would get my vote.

Would be good if our Rooster and Bill could give us an up-date on some of our Aussie ex-coaches and players.

Terry Matterson back to you and John Kear to his home town club.

A young up and coming Aussie would be a thought, which is why I've gone for Jimmy Dymock.

Chad Randall/Rob Purdham as player/coaches.

Think playing will be enough for Chad and Purdo to cope with (they will be playing alongside 13 year olds, the way recruitment is shaping up!)

Steve Menzies and player coach.

awww steve menzies player coach go on lets try it

A few possibilities.

Willie Poching - leaves Leeds to uncertain future. Head coach of Samoa in 2009.
Jason Taylor - does occasional media work, but not linked to NRL jobs
Francis Cummins - leaves Leeds for a fresh challenge. Assistant to Tony Smith and Brian McLennan
Tony Rea - is the assistant coach at a Super 15 rugby side and is settled back home
Jimmy Dymock - is the assistant coach at the Bulldogs and has a settled life in Sydney
Kevin Walters - has had his deficiencies as a top-flight coach shown up
Phil Jones - is a development coach, and not a first-grade coach
Steve Folkes - is to step up from fitness and conditioning coach to become assistant at Wests Tigers
Graham Murray - Aussie coach with a wealth of top level experience in both hemispheres and at representative football. Unemployed.
Karl Harrison - Batley coach who seeks a return to SL. Proud Englishman
Ian Millward - Rumoured successor to Tony Rea in 2006, has bagged Quins at every opportunity since.
Brian Noble - Head coach of Crusaders, that is his long-term project.
Tony Currie - Back in Australia, but has coached London before. Unclear what he is doing at this time.
Paul Cullen - On compassionate leave following the death of his wife. Leave him time to grieve.
John Kear - Will leave Wakey at the end of his contract at the end of 2011, but Quins won't pay to get him.
Rob Powell - Head coach of Lebanon, but clearly an assistant at SL level after making the step up from coaching in the amateur game.
Latham Tawhai - Former London Skolars head coach, given a more u20's focus for 2010. But not a contender for the top role.
Jon Sharp - assistant to Brian Noble at Crusaders. Got Giants to CCF in 2006 and with Iestyn Harris up there he may seek a top job.
Daryl Powell - Head coach of Featherstone, former Leeds coach. Unclear of what his business commitments are.
Terry Matterson - Wanted out by a number of vocal Cas fans. Staunch supporter of licence system and youth production.
Keiron Purtill - Assistant at St Helens passed over for top job, may seek top job elsewehere.
Paul Anderson - Would have liked Huddersfield hot-seat, but is happy to remain Nathan Browns assistant now the Aussie is staying.
Jimmy Lowes - Brief spell as head coach at Warrington. Assitant to Tony Smith and passed over for Salford job in favour of Shaun McRae.
Steve McCormack - Wealth of experience at top end of 2nd tier. Head coach of Scotland, and very briefly assistant at Hull KR. Happy in the North-west.
Rohan Smith - assistant to his father Brian at the Roosters. Head coach of Tonga. Former assistant at Quins.
Chris Anderson - former Australia coach, well regarded until ill-fated spell with the Roosters in 2007. Cut his coaching teeth with Halifax.
Brad Fittler - Australia and Blues legend. Fell flat after a good period as Head Coach at the Roosters. Happy doing media work
Michael Hagan - Former Newcastle, Parramatta coach and assitant coach of the Maroons in 2010. Happy with part-time role.
Ricky Stuart - Former Cronulla, Roosters, Blues and Kangaroos coach. Financial constraints would only mirror his time at Cronulla

Nice work. Murray it is then although if I were looking for a long shot outsider my money would go on Keiron Purtill.
