Quote altofts wildcat="altofts wildcat"I think that we would have the better end of the deal but I would not be overly happy with Noble as I would prefer an Aussie to come over and bring some new ideas with him.'"
To some extent, I agree, but for every Michael Maguire, you get a Kevin Walters. There can only be so many Aussie assistants capable of taking over. Maguire's replacement won't be ready, and neither will Trent Robinson's. How many other young eager assistants are there who are of their standard, because sometimes people are always meant to be assistants (Jimmy Lowes, "our" Tony Smith, Iestyn Harris, Jon Sharpe, Richard Agar, etc).
We have to be realistic and accept that we'll get no world beaters for a while. We'll bring on some of the kids and maybe pad them out with some experience bought from elsewhere, and Noble would just bring them on enough. By that point, if we have a new stadium and have turned into a top eight side, we will start to attract the bigger names, and that's the time for the next Trent Robinson, not now.
