Have heard that, of the three names shortlisted by Myler, one has become a preferred/favourite for the job and that an approach has been made. Sadly no names mentioned.

I still hope for Briers, think he is the most realistic out of the decent coaches that have been linked.

Don't think Holdbrook will come, turned down Warrington who are a bigger draw than us.
Don't think Salford will let Rowley go, we will pay a big fee and not sure he would leave.

No doubt there will be some wildcards, probably not mentioned on here.

The tone of which it was told indicated that they are currently employed, I would therefore suspect it would be for next season, and that Grix will see out the remainder of Season, with the new appointment working with Myler in the background on recruitment etc.

I'm open minded on the D.O.R/Myler situation, ok yes he lacks experience in the role, but will certainly have important contacts within the game and he'll know how the game works both on and off the field in terms of players/agents etc. We've had two very experienced people in McRae & Smith at the club and failed dismally in player recruitment/retention and its notable our most successful spell in SL era came under the inexperienced Motu Tony who didn't do too shabbily.
It's also not just about contacts within the game that's important these days but also in the wider world of business, which Myler has access too.

It may or may not work but as we have seen at Hull FC there are simply no guarantees whichever road we travel but its clear something needed doing in terms of radical change and we are seeing that, time will tell if it works or not but do feel looking at things as a whole we are already in a much better position.

you can make a case for anyone coming into the role but it doesnt mean its a good appointment

So what happens if Myler splits up with his investor partner? Does he release all our marquee players and give Okunbor a 10 year deal out of spite?

He will be our new seven

It might amaze you Dave but there is such a thing as a Rugby League supporter. I try to watch both teams in our city and occasionally outside the area usually as a guest of a sponsor. I notice you are quick to judge posters who don't agree with your position in all things FC.
I don't feel the need to explain but will just say i have good contacts at both Rovers and FC and also a few in the amateur game which i also follow.

Was it the same 'good contact' whio fed you this

I do know coaching staff at both Hull clubs and like you it is my understanding Balmforth will not be on Hull Fc's books in 2024. Shame really because i do think he will become a good SL player given time.

If so maybe take it with a pinch of salt.

If we're going for totally unattainable coaches we may as well go for Bellamy
