According to this weeks League Express, the club have received 25 applications for the vacant post......to be shortlisted to 4

Any Link???

Unfortunately no, It's mentioned in Stevo's column on page 4 of this weeks League Express no names given, Paul Blanchard and David Hughes were supposedly sitting down on Monday just gone to compile the short list of 4.

No doubt someone subscribing to the online version may be able to provide a link

I bet there are some good ones in there given there are only 30 top jobs in the world

Buy the paper like the rest of us, cheapskate.

Kiss my Listerine!!

Not too many newsagents round here sell it

After being encouraged to buy RL World by paddock to read the ground breaking interview with the marketing bod at quins I can recommend just waiting until PB/DH decide on who they want.......The RL press are at best, lazy and at worst, full of letters from disgruntled northerners upset because their grat club is being overlooked for SL after they had 4 port-a-loos installed and changed the chip oil in the caravan

The League Express is pretty good to be honest.

love you too PP

Any hints/inside info on a potential coach yet

There are so many Australians who have coached, left first-grade and gone into business. Others who have coached in the NSW Cup, Queensland Cup, a whole raft of up and coming coaches in the Toyota Cup as well as assistant coaches in the NRL.

With Aussie SL coaches being overlooked in favour of stay at home coaches such as Rick Stone, Ivan Henjak and Kevin Moore. Many Aussie coaches may well see us as a risk, getting off from the conveyor belt of talent. Daniel Anderson wasn't guaranteed a job when he decided to leave St Helens and he won the lot. Flip-side is there is so much talent in Australia that we could do worse than looking at anyone from any grade in Australia.

In England I would only be looking at the Co-operative Championship as the assistants here don't seem to be of the same quality as in Australia. We just can't seem to keep quality coaches in our game. Some good ones in the Championship, but we don't know what their business interests are.

30 top jobs in the world, and London has to be attractive to a number of coaches for a great many reasons. Hopefully Hughesy will pick the right candidate.

Ill be very disappointed if we recruit an inexperienced British coach who's come through the system at a northern SL club. We need either an experienced SL coach or a less experienced young Australian coach. This is a tough job and if we end up with a McNamara or McDermott type coach Ill be gutted. Its a big step up to SL and we cant afford to get it wrong again. Brian Mac was a disaster as far as Im concerned, and his alleged redeaming quality (bringing through local youngsters) was a direct result of his hopeless recruitment and injury prone squad and nothing else.
