I'd be happy with brown. He's turned Huddersfield into contenders with what is, imo, an inferior playing roster to ours.
His team is solid in the forwards and play some good attacking rugby.

Would be very happy with Brown, Huddersfield play some extremely entertaining RL and he clearly gives the outside backs license to back themselves.

As I've said elsewhere I'm not disappointed with Brown's appointment but I am disappointed that we don't appear to have seen if there was anybody else out there in the whole world of RL that could be better. If we have looked then fair enough. If we haven't then we get what we deserve.

We've not appointed him yet... or have I missed something?

Mind you, if we have to wait nine months for him to arrive with Rush & Cunningham in charge - and things turn sour? You only need look at league players who've returned early from Union to realise how much damage six months of mediocre coaching can do.

I'm not sure that will be an issue. Rush appears to have had major success in coaching the kids to first team, Cunningham will know the kinds of things that need to be done in a successful side, so I doubt the first team players will lose skills in this period. It's the tactics side of the role that I have my doubts about, but that won't dull skill sets if it isn't up to scratch.

It's written in the stars apparently.

No, we turned smith down in favour of potter because we wanted to get to grand finals, something smith has been struggling with in recent years.
