Whilst Redford would not be my first choice, that'd be Morgan, Radford has coached Easts for years as he not plus he runs quite a few pubs now so the guy is obviously no mug

So running a pub qualifies you to be Head Coach at a top Super League Club eh - Memories from the past Len Casey, Clive Sullivan, I think you get my drift

Oh dear. Raiders! Oh deary me. Do we think Cooke would sign a contract? Getting rid of Gentle isn't the answer. It's going to be very interesting now to see who takes over. But Radders, Cooke and Last isn't the answer ! The problem is where do you ge a top experienced coach unless you can find one who's contract you can pay off and who's daft enough to come to us.

While I would give Radford my full support, I think this job is so big that it needs an experience head coach who has been there and won things...promoting another assistant is a gamble, and we barely have any throws of the dice left before a large part of the fan base gives up on the club.

Radford with Long as assistant were lined up to be caretaker coaches for rest of season if you'd lost CC semi. Can't see them getting the job full-time.

Could get Brian Smith in but he'd want a lot of money, more than Koucash at Salford was willing to pay.

For Hull, the blueprint is there to be seen at Warrington. You can have it all - players, ground, facilities etc but if you don't have the right coach it's all for nought.

Don't even be looking at Sir Tony though!

Karl Harrison with Long as assistant.

Long would bring great quality to your attacking play.He managed to get Salford playing really attractive rugby so with the young talent you have coming through it could work really well.Harrison is a no nonesense quality coach who would build on the excellent defence you have shown for the majority of this season.

Do you thin he'd take it with Gentle leaving?

Not if he speaks to Gentle first.
