Plenty of players who’ve played at the top level, doesn’t make the a good coach, Fitler for one, and visa versa.

He's a no nonsense guy.

Davidson says he's the 'lead candidate'. Interesting no HDM story yet.

Given our recent recruitment of players and coaches, I guess im just sceptical. Our record of appointing assistants hasn’t really worked lately. Hopefully Myler has done his due diligence.

to be fair, he is on the same planet as gene

I would prefer a younger, up and coming coach who is more likely to innovate, but plenty of examples of those not working. Maybe cartwright just hasn't wanted the extra responsibility and stress of being a head coach in the NRL?

myler should be out there talking to prospective coaches face to face and also picking the brains of anyone and everyone he can find

HDM seem to be sticking to their guns that the club want a British based coach with Super League knowledge. But as I said on a previous post, whilst that might be their preference it doesn't make it a certainty. But reading this, the fact that the club have denied it twice is probably the most telling part of this rumour.

I think whoever comes in it's going to be a tough gig and as we've just recently seen & experienced even one of the most experienced Coaches in SL failed to make the grade in turning us a round.

Like others I'm not that familiar with Cartwright and although he's not had a Head Coach job since 2014 he has a wealth of experience and has been a regular appointment at successful teams and winning cultures. I'd also suggest he will likely be well versed in the modern methods and techniques of the both training and the game as a whole. He also seems the type that won't and doesn't suffer fools either which is what we have lacked for far too long.

Lets be honest whoever comes in it'll be a gamble but at least hopefully a very well thought out, educated and considered gamble rather than closing our eyes and sticking a pin in a name.

Hopefully he is doing just that. Although we're in the news a lot at the moment, the media hasn't gone as far as reporting on his every movement... yet.

Maybe the club have asked the HDM to be a little more candid with their news stories on the next coach, as the Rowley one was played out massively in the press and ended up not happening

Never understood why the club has insisted that being british and having SL experience is priority, realistically the market for that sort of coach is incredibly slim, the one candidate that fitted that bill was Rowley, who we have given up on.

What other options in SL is there? Wellens, Burgess, Peet, Watson, none of which are going to leave their current roles

Then you look at other targets like McDermott, Agar, etc which rightly 99% of people would turn their nose to.

Some of the best coaches this competition has seen over the years have had zero experience of the game in this country, you could call it a gamble, but to me it’s one I feel we have no other option but to take.

It feels like, post the Rowley links, we have just wasted time in unrealistic targets, glad to see we’ve finally broadened our search.
