Yes I do!


Answer my question first then I'll have a better idea of where you're coming from.

No i would have done but he is off to Halifax

As far as I'm concerned that comment has robbed you of what little credibility you had in my eyes. Oh and spare us the I used to be a RL pro or I know him well stuff, it means nothing on here unless you're willing to name yourself...thought not

I seriously doubt you know Andy better than me though I agree he's a gentleman and a top bloke.

I also agree it's very unlikely to happen, though I suspect for different reasons to you.

corrected.

Agree with the sentiment but due to lack of foresight by the RFL I was right the first time.

Barry Eaton

Local lad, available, has done very well in the championship with low resources at keithley and helped turn the crusaders around over the last few months

mclennan?

Mclennan is new NZ Warriors coach

NO to barry eaton

How many of us are now sing at Quinney's comments.

Sorry mate, you need to read the other posts and take a step back.

My only thing with any of the names though is that we are not improving on Kear. Powell is slightly different so maybe and Noble is much the same but may be able to draw better players in if we have the money but the others are not as good as Kear in my opinion.

The one thing I believe Noble may have in his favour is that he has stepped way from the day to day coaching for a year. He has had a chance to recharge his enthusiasm and has probably been looking a new techniques. He also has that ability to attract reasonable quality of player. I am not saying he is the right man but he is not quite the relic some are making him out to be.

If we are going down the English road then I would like to see us give someone like Darryl Powell a shot. He was thrown into the Leeds job too soon, where he made mistakes. Whilst at Fev he has turned them into a tidy footballing side and learned from his earlier coaching career. I think he would be a good shout too.

Personally though I would like to see us buck the trend, if we are not going after an Aussie assistant then why not an English assistant working under a former Aussie assistant. Somebody like Shaun Wane if he doesn't get the Wigan job, Kieron Purtill at Saints or as I mentioned before Paul Anderson from Huddersfield.

noble is no relic. he's also a winner.

i'd vote for powell if we're going british, i don't know enough to comment on the foreign johnnies too much.

If we were to go for an English coach my choice would be Purtill from ST Helens, I hear lots of good things about him.
