Not one of these 'mega' Australian coaches will come over here. Simply it is not worth their while. Nobody can pay them enough to take such a step down. Would a Harvard Professor teach at Bolton even if his salary was doubled? I would suggest no because of his self respect.

It would probably be better to get somebody in who has worked under Bennett or any top NRL grade coach with a good pedigree and learn some of the moves the Australians utilise.

I'm talking within the backroom staff rather than as head coach. Bring in somebody like that along with the likes of somebody like Ellery Hanley working with Noble and we will improve our ability to put together a complete plan of action on a team before kick off. Get ourselves a leader on the field to compliment O'Loughlin and we MIGHT perform.

To chop and change will lead to failure again.

Melborne Storm did this with Craig Bellamey. Hardly a bad choice by any measure.

My 1st choice would be Tony Smith, but my 2nd probably Shaun Edwards or Andy Farrell.

I don't know if it's been mentioned before but WB has a disabled child. For this reason he has ruled out coaching overseas.

Edwards is always number 1 choice (also worked under Bennett) but is also unrealistic at this stage.

Shaun Wane has done a great job with the lower tiers at Wigan. Maybe giving him till the end of the season could be an option?
