Ideal candidate IMO. Media-friendly, good at getting the most out of what resources he has, a fresh approach, no expectations (as we've been rubbish for decades) and a nice salary top-up. Plus during the SL season not much more work than what he already does for the BBC/Sky.

Morgan and Kear the frontrunners according to the Telegraph:

The Australian-born coach's decision to step down has led to Hull Kingston Rovers counterpart Justin Morgan and Wakefield's John Kear being linked with the position, which the RFL will seek to fill on a full-time basis following Smith's part-time tenure.

So the welsh/aussie Morgan is a favourite to take over from the British/Aussie Tony Smith.
Serious issues with coaching in the british game i think.

| I hate to admit it but we could do a lot worse than Justine. Not sure how Hudg would take to losing their only asset and the one man who has taken them from has beens to contenders. It would take a great deal to prise him away, but when times are hard.....

| Quote GODS UNDERTAKER="GODS UNDERTAKER"Its not down to SOO or the coaches its simply that the Oz lads have a larger pool of class players to pull from as their junior areas upwards make ours look thrid world never mind third class.
Non of this crap about overseas players diluting the game here as the NRL is half full of samoans , kiwis etc its simply that their development from 8s and up is world class and ours does not exist!!
and lets be fair RL is almost the Oz national sport so they are bound to have a bigger pool to choose from .
we are not that far behind but we do struggle outside our first choice 20 or so dont we'"
A very good post throughout imo particularly the part about the popularity of the sport. In Australia they like physical contact sports - Rugby, Aussie Rules and League are all big whereas soccer is still developing. Here, all other games play second fiddle to soccer.

Yes and yes, the two main reasons and appointing a new coach wont change this i'm afraid.
Throw money at the right coaches at junior level, teach them the skills early and teach them to Win and be Winners from 6 upwards (within reason) Stop this "taking part rubbish".
The key is at your local club but will we ever unlock it, we have johny's dad coaching them and freds dad assistant coach and water bottle man, great guys doing there best but is it good enough ?????
Start from the bottom and work up, and that means taking a step back but its the only way.
