Is he still keen? Just seems he's been out of club coaching for a while. Also and you don't have to answer this, is his health up to it?

I'll stick with the Aussies because as ever they are streets ahead. However if we go British then yes I'd consider AK as a possibility.

Old Tiger says McNally was treated unfairly which he wasn't but AK was definitely a casualty of Pearman. In a fair world he deserves another chance but perhaps as a combination with a very good Aussie assistant to bring that added dimension.

Have to say though Clan I can't see it - sorry.

Just think, he might know one or two conditioner's as well

Oh dear........really you think Andy Kelly

i hope i am wrong but I think it will probably be Darryl Powell because they wont go pay 'Noble' money and it will be more of the british / home grown spin on it that they will come out with to justify such an appointment

Me neither but only because of general perceptions like the one you make in your first comment.

As for his health, he's 100% fine and (fingers crossed) will stay that way.

Decent shout regarding an Ausie back room team, if there's a British coach with more fire in his belly than Andrew, I've yet to see him.

Do you REALLY need me to justify why I would question Andy Kelly ? lets go the full hog and get Schofield !!
do you seriously think that his name would been even mentioned by the board ?
If so please tell me on what basis ?

Don't think Powell would be a bad appointment, still youngish and doing a great job at Fev

yes. very highly rated in cap land.

he has the kelly nose. which means he'll look bad on the pr shots.

also if he does owt good, he'll bugger off to hkr.

i know Andy and he is a top bloke and a true gentleman but no way would he be considered.
not wasting any more time on this because its a non starter and will never happen FACT

i reckon its one of the following:

1. Powell
2. Harris
3. Poching
4. Matterson

really outside bet -

Noble - but think he will be too expensive
