If it's going to be in place for Friday then I would imagine it to be someone from over here. Unless it means being named on Friday and they will be starting later.

However, McManus is presently abroad at an undisclosed destination.

Is there only me who doesn't really rate Brown?

A good coach, but not the kind of proven world-class coach that we need

No proven world-class coach is going to come over here from the NRL unless they are paid the kind of over the top silly money that any club paying off an expensive brand new stadium would be mad to be shelling out.

To be honest none of the mentioned candidates exactly fill me with excitement, Brown being probably the worst of the lot or me. His teams fade badly towards the end of the season and approach near-Wigan levels of tedious awfulness to have to sit and watch. He may or may not bring us success, but at what cost?

Not really, the odds of the Leeds United manager changed everyday so it looked like somebody new was nailed on and like they knew something nobody else is. The truth is the odds are just changing with what everyone else bets on really.

True mate, but like I said, if they're willing to offer 25/1 on Meninga and 18/1 on Morgan i'd guess that they're fairly confident they won't be coming. You can bet up to £2000 on the market so they'd be looking at a £50k payout on Meninga per customer. I'd guess they've done a little research.

Brown can't seem to get his side firing at the business end of the season which is actually a step back on our previous three coaches.

To be fair to Brown - he lacks the kind of attacking firepower Wigan, Leeds & Warrington all possess.

You will proably find it will be Morgan. At least until the end of this season.

I did enjoy watching Hudds take apart Cas. They played some good stuff when they got space.
