Wouldn’t be keen on Anderson and especially not McDermott. McNamara not going anywhere for at least 2 years.

Depending on our potential investment I’d like John Morris. Currently defence coach coach and assistant to Benji at Wests. Did a great job at Cronulla but Fitz was coming in regardless there. Don’t know if he fancy it though as Wests look like they are going somewhere with a lot of ex players in charge.

Morris is a decent shout. I'd rather someone like that than someone like Mcdermott.

What's wrong with Brian ?

Concern with Morris is the Sharks moved him on because he wasn't seen as the right man take take them forward. They just about got in the play offs in his 2 seasons at Cronulla.

If we've got money coming in soon I'd try and test Salfords resolve and attempt to get Rowley.

Failing that, one of these guys:

Josh Hannay
Michael Monghan
Lee Briers
David Tangata-Toa
Ben Hornby
Dean Young

They're all highly thought of coaches in good systems.

I think you’ll get your wish with Rowley soon, once Rohan gets the bullet.

100% agree. Rowley is the only domestic coach I'd seriously look at. I think you'd see an immediate improvement if he came in. I just can't see him leaving Salford for us, which probably says more about where we are at than Salford.

On your comment about McDermott I just think he's another yesterday's man. Similar to Smith.

Maybe that's why Pearson has acted now and Thirkill has tipped him off

Maybe I'm being too harsh, but I seem to remember them not beating a top 6 side all the time he was there. They'd do really well against the poor teams but struggle against the top sides. Fitzy has been backed a heck of a lot more than Morris was.

He just reminds me of a Steve Price type

I would imagine we would have a shout at Rowley.

It's obviously to be negotiated through Myler who will make assurance on the impending club investment and offer up salary expenditure that exceeds Salfords.

Id also say joining a club with potential at rock bottom is appealing to aspiring coaches.

Guess my glass has reverted to half-full.

Nativity, no doubt.

Can he bring Sneyd back

Will he arrive by donkey?

Hopefully Myler can help deliver our saviour

I would have liked to have heard from Pearson the other night regarding what kind of coach we are looking to bring in. Not their location, current employment status, experience etc but what style of coach we are looking for. I don't think he really went too much into that other than saying that we are aiming to build a team around the youngsters, complimenting them with journeymen and marquee signings. So are we looking for someone with a track record of promoting youngsters for example? There was not really anything said about why he felt it hadn't worked under Tony Smith and what he would be looking for the next coach to improve on (results would be a start obviously!). I think he even said the atmosphere in the dressing room is good.

EDIT: Just seen a Hull Live article and it was workmen, not journeymen he was after.
