Got himself a nice role with Titans u20s at the minute,but would think he is some way off a head coach role here.and believe his son may be on the Titans playing staff now.
Tony Currie was involved with the Aboriginal side recently,dont think he actively coaches anyone as he has a business interests in the Brissie area.
Jimmy Dymock for me,but cant see him leaving current post.

I think Daryl Powell would do a great job in London. GB international, done a great job at Fev and wants to go to Super League.

Finally an excellent, realistic suggestion. Would be delighted with Powell.

James Lowes?

Has high end experience in coaching with Leeds and brought through a number of established Super League stars of the Rhinos over recent time. He talks a good game, he took Featherstone from 6th or 8th to 1st in one season. He has been Head Coach of Leeds Tykes and has 33 caps for Great Britain.

If we can get him down here, he is an Englishman we should consider putting our money on, or rather Hughes' money into.

he also has way more media savvy than the previous incumbent, and might even mix with fans after the game

I voted for Jason Taylor and that was just because hes a youngest aussie coach having seen what has happened at hudd's and Wigan with them going down this road.

But my choice if we went the english root again would be Daryl Powell. his experience with working in union could in some way help us with our union brothers at Quins( silly yes i know but you never know). If rumours were true that they(QRU) were after Nobby then him working for us could work in their favour during our off season or in pre season training(maybe even chip in to his wages as well).

No - not tough enough or experienced enough. But he's probably cheap!!

A proven failure at top level. We all still have joyous memories of his last visit here as head coach of Wire.

Another Lister wind-up methinks.

The newspaper item looks worryingly real! And Daz Powell wouldn't be much better - a bit reserved - don't know that he would cha to supporters etc but then ..........those days have gone

In a club like Quins having a good external communicator is essential to create rapport with both ams and medIa. Powell seems comfortable with this, in a way that Mac did not.

are there any southern born coaches in the game?

Not a wind-up at all, it was a rumour I read on the Leeds forum. I wouldn't be too pleased with his appointment when the likes of Powell are available, but he must have at least learnt something under Tony Smith, and has to start somewhere.
