I'd be pretty happy with Murray as coach. Are his health problems over now?

As has been said, I can't really see any coaching changes unfortunately.

And me but he doesnt tick the 'I dont come cheap and bring my own backroom staff' box with James and Kath.

would be a mint signin imo

Rendell you don't post that much but you make a lot more sense than most of the regular no alls, rumour mongers, stirrers, idiots that post regularly on this board, very few I am sure have played the game or have a clue about the rules, or may I add, know how to run a business and deal with many less than perfect sportsmen.
We do need some drastic action to save our season and only the board can do this if they choose to do so, if not we will just fall further and further behind on the playing side of 90% of the teams in Super League.
So farewell from sunny Malaga where I have a contract to finish, just wondering whether to wear my FC shirt next week when I go to see the Salford game on Sky, decision!decisions!

We could get Wayne Bennett but even he wouldn't be any good without a recognised scrum half on the pitch. That said SH wouldn't have to be a world beater just someone that can do a SH job and carry out the game plan of the coach.

Look at the difference of our games last season with and without Dykes, when he was half crocked he gave the team direction and organisation with a few clever moves thrown in also.

Peter Sharp was sacked after the game at Quins, for his 13 games in charge 2007 there was only 4 games that we conceded 30 points +, 30-30-32-34.
The following 13 games (SL) we conceded 30 + on 7 occaiasions including one of 66 and one of 42.
On that alone I dont think the decision to give Agar a 2 1/2 yr contract was wise to say the least.

IMO it still comes down to having a reasonable SH, Thorman isn't.

Agree with all that, but if we got Wayne Bennett, he'd definitely attract a world class 7.

Al Murray would be an improvement on Agar.

Murray would be a great signing and would go along way to righting the wrongs of the boards last two coaching appointments . The appointment of Murray or a coach of similar stature should be made now so he can bring in his own players for 2010 and get rid of the dead wood .

And ditto for Matthew Head the year before that

not sure what these problems were - are you sure you are not confusing him with graham lowe

No complaints from me. How old is he now? That would only be my worry

I've always liked Murray but not sure he wants a job, about ready for retirement I reckon or a DOR role.
