He brought a group of players together full time on a significant budget, coached them for a number of months as a group, and in the first few games the team looked clueless against part time opposition.(Leigh being the exception). Early days I accept.

He was at the club the year before so knew the culture. He looked like a rabbitt in the headlights after the Sheffield game

The name that wandered across my apology for a brain was Jim Dymock, but I don't suppose that's even remotely possible.

Some people on Twitter seem to think Bobbie Goulding is interested in the job. He's said (allegedly) that he would be up for it, as claims we have a good squad just need a few dogs in it

What's everyone's opinion on here, as he's not been in the game for a while

It would be good news for his biggest fan - Bobbie Goulding.

Avoid.

He failed in France and has made anti-London comments in the past. Avoid - though you would get some mongrel in the team!

I saw an interview with Andrew Henderson where he stated that the best coach he played under was Terry Matterson - I was disappointed,I thought he may have named someone else.
Anyhow,as a former player with London,now an assistant at Gold Coast Titans who are currently mired in a drugs enquiry and under the control of the NRL,
he may be interested as he has stated an intention to be a head coach again.
There is also the rumour that should Dr Marwan Koukash purchase the Gold Coast club they may relocate.

He is a good friend of Henry the head coach at Titans but he did get Castleford promoted into Super League after initially taking them down.

I also thought of Jim Dymock, but sometimes going for an ex player is more on sentiment than rationale thought. I think an experienced coach is needed. Kear isnt a London fan, so i would rule him out. Still think Noble, even part time is worth a punt - otherwise open to suggestions

Liked Matterson as a player. I thought that opinions were mixed as to his coaching ability at Cas, but he certainly developed into a first class whinger at refereeing decisions.

Funny Matterson crossed my mind.

Jimmy Dymock has been assistant at the Bulldogs for a few years now and also had a successful period in temporary charge a couple of seasons back. No idea if he'd be interested but I'd be on the phone to find out. Also be looking at David Fairleigh, ex Sts prop who's been coaching the Cook Islands for a few years and done well with them.
