wasnt hundred per cent sure, realistically would any coach come from the nrl?

morgan? mcnamara?

people say powell form cas but i doubt Pearson would pay a fee to buy his contract out, aslo who's to say powell would want to come to hull


morrison form dewsbury seems to have a few admirers

I do wonder, short of a Wayne Bennett, whom fans would be delighted to see us appoint. Powell is the obvious one but seems very happy where he is and realistically would be at best a sideways move for him to swap a highly functioning top 4/5 team for arguably bigger potential 7-10 scrappers. But beyond Powell, who is an ambitious but realistic potential target that would get fans really excited?

The Venn diagram for experienced, successful and attainable isn't something to fill you with optimism.

Exactly this. When you scan down current SL coaches, few had stellar coaching careers prior to their appointment. In this context the expectation we could get a "proven experienced" coach looks unrealistic.

I don't think there's many coaches that would get universal praise from the fans.

Perhaps the better question to ask everyone is what do people think we need should Radford leave? Someone with experience as a head coach? A tactician? Someone to shore up our defence? Someone with a flamboyant style? A motivator? What would be ideal for you and who do you think we could realistically bring in to meet your requirements?

A manager of men. Who is a top coach held in both high regard and respected by his team? And by that I don't mean too close to them or soft on them so they 'like' him.

Who expects us to get a "proven experienced" coach? As far as I'm aware I'm the only one mentioning it and I've specifically said we won't get one. Or is it another of your made up quotes?

It's an interesting point. I read a piece a while back criticisizing a Premier League club for drawing up a shortlist of very different candidates for their vacancy. The suggestion being that they didn't really know what they wanted and had no clear plan.
In the PL though you've got a whole world of options, beyond Harry Redknapp, Sam Allardyce, Tony Pulis and Steve McClaren.

A detailed checklist is probably not as valuable if you are choosing between the half dozen or so familiar options touted for SL jobs.

It's fair to say Radford's 2.5 year tenure has been characterised by adverse commentary on his lack of experience. UllFC for example has long advocated us getting a more experienced coach in. Would you like me to find a quote? I said "could", not "will", of course.

......quickest way is google hull "proven experienced" site:rlfans.com

Many have likened us to Newcastle Utd - a big club who spend money but consistently fail and employ bang average coaches

They have just changed their model having scrapped the head coach position to employ a manager and one who is a proven winner - and he's bringing his own fresh new backroom team and not making do with some people who are proven losers from previous regimes

Thats what we need to do

... by employing someone sacked from their previous post after 7 months in charge?

I guess most managers end up that way.

Is he though? (as in Motu)

This season Sika Manu has been good in patches but bad in others

Tuimavave is - Ben Crooks was/is better, so is Yeaman (even in his old age), Whitings 10X the player

Pritchard is throwing his weight around (and theres a lot of it) like the big i am, cost us the Cas game, gets dropped, Shite against Widnes

All three arnt performing consistently with the last two being the worst of all.
