Just posing the question Dave, calm down.

I wasn't looking exclusively at NRL assistants, but our consistency in appointing assistants either internally or from the NRL, and our underachievement as a club for most of the past two decades. The ones you've listen happen to be the successful ones, there are many others that weren't so successful.

There are plenty of head coaches a little closer to home that we could look to, it doesn't have to be someone from the NRL. There's a big leap from the responsibilities of an assistant and those of a head coach, and appointing someone with experience of those responsibilities might be a sensible move during what is an unstable period for the club.

Think about the economics, Last p/t with England, much lower wage than Fitzgibbon would command as FC coach, add in the current economic situation... Last will get the job for 2 years, the HDM will keep spinning the story in different ways to keep filling their 'news' pamphlet.

Very much doubt we will look anywhere outside a HU postcode, certainly not in the next 3 months.

With talk of training resuming soon(ish) if we were expecting to get a new coach in now would be a good time to start firming things up. So with no news I wonder if its "as you were". Its a shame as I think we need some fresh ideas and outlook.

If we were looking overseas I don't think Australians are allowed to leave the country yet so I suppose in the short term that avenue is closed anyway.

where is the talk of training resuming?
