Not sure I want a complete novice, we've made huge steps in last two years and can't have a novice learn his trade and us suffer a setback

To be fair to Fairleigh he's had a much longer apprenticeship than KC. But I know what you mean. I think I'd like to have KC as coach with an experienced figure like Anderson or Sheens as director of rugby.

I just can't see KC as a first team coach at all.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned paul rowley yet. Leigh are really well coached.

I know it's at a lower level and would be a big risk, but I'd rather go with him than someone with no head coach exp.

I'd take DA as he'll bring rigid structure to our side which we need somewhat. You can certainly count on the defence being tip top and then we'll have plenty flair in the backline to trouble other teams.

I have reservations about Meninga as being a full time club coach and bringing players together for a few weeks are very different. The players are effectively 'coached' elsewhere whilst Mal just has to gel them together.

Tim Sheens would be my pick out of the rumours. Experienced, proven and just a great coach.

There's betting available here. Potentially some value to be had if you take Eddie Cunningham's Twitter comments at face value. Can't see Sheens giving up the Australia gig for Super League. Anthony Griffin?

Nearly cried at the site of Steve McBanana on that list.

I was more concerned Millward was!

Interesting there's odds though, lots of names mentioned that I've not seen on here and vice versa...

Rob Powell?? Haha

No one's mentioned Tony Smith.
I wouldn't be surprised if he could be coaxed away from Wire. Would you be happy with him?

Yes, although another "give-nothing-away" laid-back Aussie might not win over any more fans than Brown did.

I think Smith is a very good coach, and also a good judge of horseflesh. He'd do.

However, I also wouldn't be too disappointed if we landed Sheens, Meninga or Fairleigh.

I'd be appalled if we got McNamara.

I can't quite work out what I'd think if we got Noble.
