Paul Deacon? Not sure what he is up to apart from putting the cones out every 9 months for Steve Mac. Obviously when it goes teets up nothing would be his fault.

Never mind as a coach, Id have him back as a player.

Brian Smith all day long if we could get him.Morrisson,Rowley etc have still to prove themselves imo.

If we are looking for top class man management,Smith's the man.

Forget Paul Rowley, he's signed on the dotted for Toronto with rumours of tapping up our current players too.

You've almost reached his level.

We should be looking at NRL assistants as the Aussies always seem to be one step ahead of us. It takes time to filter into the English game.

Look at what Michael Maguire did for Wigan implementing new structures and tackling techniques. I would say since he left Shaun Wane hasn't taken them forward.

Not many good English coaches about, who can get an ordinary squad playing above themselves, only really Darrel Powel and John Kear but they're off limits.

Morrison is alright but not really excelled, we need to look overseas and I think Jason Demetriou would be a good bet.

yes we know. you keep telling us jason

I think Demetriou is set for big things down under so can't see him coming here. Sure he would have gone to wakey if he fancied a coaching gig over here as he has a real affection for them.

Quite a few coaches come to England before taking over NRL teams though.

I think we should be looking forward rather than back, too many names mentioned are for sentimental reasons, look where that got us with Lowes.

Brett Hodgson is doing great things in his attacking role with Widnes, although it maybe our defence that needs more work.

I'd agree that in an ideal world I'd be tempted to pick someone not previously connected with then club if they demonstrate the correct attributes. An up and coming Aussie assistant possibly, JD and BH are also good shouts but I doubt that's what we'll end up with. I think it might be Glenn, which I'll be ok with, I think he has the potential to be a good head coach, I'd prefer him over Matty Elliott. (Elliott is a Bulls hero of mine for delivering that 1997 title, but id rather try someone new.)
