Will know Grix from Wire. For what it's worth, I think it'll be McDermott that comes in.

It was a too big a job for one of the most successful SL coaches.

Done his apprenticeship at the best club in SL and a top NRL club, if all the names mentioned he'd be right up there, would rather have Rowley, but don't see that happening. Not sure who else is realistic.
Like others not a fan of Mcdermott, just something not right about him, don't think the Leeds fans were keen on him, despite him winning multiple finals.

Anderson not too sure either, not coached in SL for a while, but did win the LLS at Hudds and involved in the England set up.

McNamara is another strange one, would he come, always felt he has underachied there, with the resources he has had, pull for players and financial loop holes and no competition for young players.

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 ?

Re: Who can take us forward? : Sun Apr 14, 2024 6:04 am  

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.
