I wonder if they might go for John Kear who speaks French, and has coached in France before?

Rob Powell is not doing anything at the moment.

And he can remain that way until we've got this sorted

I like John Kear a lot and have great respect for him as a coach and a bloke. I think that ship has sailed though

Brian Noble.

Andrew Dunneman is a coach going places.

His first year as coach he got the Cowboys feeder club in the qld cup to a grandfinal and got Ray Thompson into firstgrade.

Next two years at the Knights as halves coach he taught Scot Dureau, Jarrod Mullen, Ryan Stig and Tyrone Roberts enough that they all improved to firstgrade level in the 7.

This year he has got Canberra NYC into the finals and his number 7 is NYC halfback of the year.

His record with halves is amazing.

Jerome is a great shout.

Twas our erstwhile colleague Mark came up with that.

well then he is a genius

Do you think Jerome is ready though? Only seems like yesterday that he was still playing! He would definitely need to be working alongside an experienced coach I think.

The more I think about it the more I think Menzies could be captain/coach.
He would have the respect of the player pool.
He would be fully up to speed with plans Robbo had for next year.
He has trained and played at the highest level and is actually older and knows more about the game than Robbo.
And lastly, he played for years with Hasler and Toovey and learnt all the same lessons they learnt, and those guys are the current cutting edge coaches in the NRL.

I think the salary cap situation would be difficult, but you could get around it by giving him a players money next year and a coaching contract for a year or two afterwards.

He would need an assistant coach who was senior enough to take control of the bench rotation on game day and who could put in a lot of time with younger players etc, but I think Menzies is one of the few guys who could do this.

That's the question.

Potter all but ruled out a return yesterday anyway

Potter would have been a safe option.

I think Guissett is only a year younger than Robinson - so older than Trent was when he got the Catalans job.

Twitter is saying Justin Morgan... so that's ruled Justing Morgan out.
