The last thing we need now is someone else who 'fancies having a go at it'. Surely we've seen from examples all around us that just having passion for a club isn't enough. Granted, that's better than having no passion - which seems to be one of the key problems with Noble. But Macnamara has been crap at Bradford, Cullen was woefully crap at Warrington. Loving the club just wasn't enough in any of those cases.

Look at the difference with Brown at Huddersfield. With Morgan at Hull KR. With Potter at Saints.

A experienced Aussie must be the way to go.

Bring Farrell in as his assistant, by all means - but successful coaching is far too complex a business to be entrusted to someone who's only credentials are that he once played well for the club and still loves it.

Shaun Edwards would be all that, and he'd combine it with high-level coaching skills. But Shaun is simply not available at present.

We must look to the NRL. We simply must. They're streets ahead of us, as even their 'second-rate' coaches prove time and time again.

We need someone who tells the players what they have to do and not stand any crap off them.

If we need to change coach, we need proper interviews, look at whose got the best approach and try to do things with a level head....for a change.

I wonder if he would come back.
