Someone with a track record please: Steve Folkes or Graham Murray. Maybe even karl Harrison?

But if the money isn't there then an up and coming coach like David Faileigh who did a fantastic job with the Cook Islands last year.

Quote: dotti "there is a very good caoch already within the ranks at Quins - Phil Jones has been doing a good job with the youngsters and as the team will now be the youngsters - QED??
Not much time to makeup ground before the new franchises so it will test Sky and the RFL's committment to 'needing a team' in London.'"


Good call about Phils track record with the youth development, often overlooked as the "BIG" name took the glory.......not 100% sure he would want the first team coach position though.

Excellent news, sorry Brian but you've been taking us backwards these past 2 seasons - replacement? An NRL assistant coach looking to make a bit of a name for himself.

Glad of the change, but at the same time it would be nice to hear whose commited to the club for next season/joining it.

All this news of people leaving...anyone getting onboard, or is this indeed the metaphorical sinking ship?

Good luck to the man, I wish him well and thank him for his efforts.......but I will not be shedding any tears over his departure. Hopefully the move back up north to friends and family will help soften his general demeanour and he will be able to drop the seige mentality he has developed while at Quins.

He is sure to do better with the pool of talent available at Leeds, but to read their message board you would have thought they had just signed Billy Slater. He (along with much work by Phil Jones) has helped to bring through local youngsters and given lesser known talents a chance (much of it driven by lack of finances) but let`s not forget that the team/s we have had during his tenure are his teams and our performances and win rate year on year have been in steady decline since his arrival. I think he is probably more suited to the assistant coaching role on offer.

Should he inherit the head coach job at Leeds it will be interesting to see how long the policy of homegrown talent and reduction of overseas players lasts........I suspect about the same time as IL`s intentions once he bought Wigan.

No idea who DH has in mind to replace him...........Paul Cullen anyone?....he has been through difficult times and is worthy of a return to SL, perhaps we could offer him a fresh start down south........plus he could provide some much needed free promotion of the club on SKY......a bit like Harris and Robbie Paul do for their clubs on the BBC Super League show.

You would think the messiah was on his way back reading SS.com, wonder how many were blasting BM when it looked as if he was in with a shout of the England post.

Yeah, wouldn't mind Paul Cullen at all.

Brian Mac softening his demeanour? No chance!

I will miss the good natured banter of Brian and his gentle mickey taking of Quins fans capacity for beer. icon_lol.gif

He has had players sold over his head in football terms, or in rugby league terms not had the players he wanted retained.

He has left a sinking ship that is flawed as the Titanic, and the water is flowing over the first bulkhead. Brian Mac has got to safety, which is his prerogative as a man with a family, but Quins will die a slow death, especially after reading Hughes statement about us playing kids, kids and more kids.

I don't think Phil Jones is the actual coach of any of the junior teams but rhe development officer.

Personally sad to see Mac go - I thought he had bought into "project london" as I think of it. Yes it's hard work supporting a (mostly) losing team but to my mind we are one of the few clubs who have bought into the franchising system and I would rather support our club doing that than going for short term (not guaranteed) glory of trying to bend the rules or be reliant on the overseas player.

Yes it is a chicken and egg situation in that a winnng team will presumably attract more punters but IF we can stick around there is a good pool of talent being defeloped.

Things could be worse - look at Bradford Se Eagles and I find Hull KRs attempts to get players off quota so they can bring in more mercenaries pathetically laughable.

Wonder what this bit of the statement means?

Quote: I have been fortunate to work with some great people during my time here, no one more so than our Chairman and owner, David Hughes. His outstanding commitment and financial backing of this club is only been :2544g7e1]equalled by his recent show of integrity and decorum in very testing and difficult circumstances:2544g7e1].'"
:2544g7e1]

more testing than normal?

No one is jumping up and down! in fact no one likes to lose a coach as it loses momentum, but then again it is the right choice for Brian, he could go no further and though he may be a player's coach, I feel his true level is as an assistant coach, everyone wants to be a coach both for the salary and the level you have attained, but not everyone has got it!

Super League has been so strange this season the number of announcements of coaches and players leaving and signing for other clubs before the end of the season, this is the one of the faults with the licence system.

Is it a fault though? at least those clubs who are losing/gaining coaches can plan & recruit accordingly.......oh and PS I am jumping up and down, as our momentum could scarcely get any slower really.
