That list just shows the paucity of options available really (I can only assume they have mistaken Rob Powell for Darrell Powell).

McNamara, Agar, Edwards, Noble, Kear, Potter, Millward, Rush, Wellens and Long will be nowhere near it. Sheens wont give up on the Aussies to come to SL at his age (and lest we forget was removed as Wests' coach to be replaced by the dream team of Potter and Simmons, which maybe says something about his club coaching credentials).

Meninga has never really done it at club level, so would probably represent too large a risk, even if he wanted to come. After the Simmons saga, I cant see McManus appointing another unproven Aussie assistant (and I think that well has been bled dry anyway in recent years).

Which leaves: Griffin, Powell (Darrel), Anderson, Cunningham or Fairleigh as the only contenders IMO.

Agreed, potentially two Anderson's in contention. Not much to get excited about IMO.

Just out of interest, alot of contributors to the forums have lamented Brown for his lack of passion, fire, enthusiasm etc.

Would people rather have an experinced coach with less passion or affinity to the club, or a coaching team that have a long standing passion for the club with less experience of being head coaches?

My only concern with Brown from the start was, would he carry on his bad choices he did at The Giants, and he did for me, for some reason I could never warm to his persona.

Nathan Brown has been a good coach for us. He could become a great coach by 9pm Saturday!!!

Re: Daniel Anderson : Wed Oct 08, 2014 9:15 am  

I'd think about giving up watching the sport if we hired Noble or Kear. Likewise Betts, Agar and Rea. I am sure they are all lovely guys, but no, thanks.

Difficult question to answer, I think passion will only get you so far so I would go for experience. We,ve had lots of coaches over the superleague era and everyone have been different in experience, personality and passion.
We,ve has Rush full of passion no experience and Potter with experience no passion. probably the coach who has both will probably be Millward.
Brown has rarely dropped his guard in the media for me I have my own preference below who have all brought different things to the table.

1 McCrae
2 Anderson
3 Millward
4 Brown
5 Hanley
6 Rush
7 Simmons
8 Potter

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.

Are you serious...what on earth makes you think the club would take a chance like that?? I can't think for one minute why anybody would think delving into the lower leagues for such a coach would be something a SL club would do? I think there's no record of a club being so brave other than Cas taking a punt on Powell or Saints doing similar with what's his name...Millward!

As a Leigh fan I recall Rowley not being a universally acclaimed appointment but not so many grumbles now.

It'll never happen...though I'd love to see such thinking out of the box! I'm surprised your post hasn't had any other comments but I guess it shows how narrow peoples thinking is these days.

One thing is certain Saints won't be getting an overseas coach including Daniel Anderson.

I think it's a pretty open secret that it's Keiron's job.
