Murray for sure and Furner as assistant would be my choice

Furner is already a head coach in the NRL, why would he come to SL to be an assistant?



More realistic would be Daniel Anderson as head coach, and then he brings in an assistant of his own choice. Personally I would be happy with this.

how about we rejig our squad first before considering the coaching options... or we could just blame BM for that too.



Noble? hmm yeah that would be an improvement because he is famous for diversities in his gameplans. Rhinos under noble - 1. big guy 2. big guy 3. big guy......... 17.big guy

Both the squad and coaching team need attention, but a decent coach would make a significant improvement to our current level of performance. We also need to address the coaching front first as any decent coach would want some level of involvement with the recruitment of replacements in the squad too.

Is GH the type to do this? Has BM asked for the extensions given so far?

I agree that GH doesn't appear to have been the type to say "so coach, who do you want for next year?", but I do think that there will be discussions around which positions need strengthening with what type of player. There may even be a shortlist given to GH by the coach on who the possibles are.



Has BMD asked for the extensions given so far? I'd be pretty amazed if he hadn't been involved at all...

Bats, if we are going to recruit, you don't think it is too late anyway? This time of year is far too late for recruiting for following season. We will have players already agreed for next year, or we are not signing any. It does not matter whether we appoint another coach now or not.



No coach is going to take this squad any further than 5th anyway.

I do think it's too late to pick up the top quality overseas players, but not necessarily the GB based ones, however that would require transfer fees (the OoC ones worth having are signed up by now) and it's unlikely we will pay fees just at the moment with the other costs the business faces like the SS for example.



We have been known to "splash out" on marquee players before (Senior & Harris immediately spring to mind) but it's been a while since we adopted that approach. Personally I think we need some new blood that may already be contracted to other clubs and we need to persuade them to do a deal.

Is that complete supposition or do you have any reason to think that?

do you know what "doesn appear to have been" means? Don't you get paid for understanding the written word?



Oh and yes I do have some reason to think that, and you know who from if you think about it yourself.

If you make Friday's game look across the pitch. That stand will not be there next year. It's replacement will cost a few quid. We will have to pay for that ourselves. Unlike most clubs, we're in a position to do so.



Therefore, I doubt you will see any cash splashed and I reckon you should appreciate and understand why.



HTH

I do, but usually it is the English written word. Your quote isn't English.



If you're going to be a smart arris you might want to do a spell check.
