The coronavirus crisis will be a major problem should we be looking to recruit from overseas. Cannot see many people being keen on moving their family 12,000 miles to a new country over the next six months.
I can see Last and Purtill in charge for the rest of the season.

Thats a fair point.
I might be on my own, but not too keen any any of the Uk options, Wane I like, but his style of play is awful, I want to see us playing rugby, Watson is under contract and I have doubts about him, he has had one good season, based mainly on Hastings.
The only one I quite like is Danny Ward, his teams play good rugby and he did an amazing job last season with very little resources, not sure if he is experiened enough.
I think it has to be from the NRL (Even if it is for later in the year), hopefully use our contacts in the NRL such as Motu Tony and current ex NRL player like Ma'u.
Never rated Radders (as you would expect) but his 2 CC wins and the fact you've had a long run near the top of the table for many years speaks for itself. That said, not sure about his next gig - Ottowa?
As for yourselves - Brian Noble? More likely an overseas coach long term.

Can't see Noble (Out of the head coaches job for too long), id rather stick with what we have than him.
I think Radford will take a deserved break from the game, think he will walk into a job when he is ready.
I wouldn't be suprised to see Mcnamara apply and get it, not sure what I hink about that.
I think it will be James Ford which will be a very underwhelming appointment initially but has the potential to be a massive success. If we go to NRL route Cameron Ciraldo would be very high on my list of options

For mine, at this moment ..I'd prefer an experienced Head Coach who has a reputation of handling high profile players, Griffin, Brown,Toovey from the NRL perhaps??, from here Powell & Wane would be my choice, but unrealistic...
James Ford or Danny Ward not for me at the time, nor Fitzgibbon....

When we ditched Sheens there was rumours of Ford for us, I was a lot happier when Smith was revealed. Then again, a successful champ coach has to have a chance at some point I suppose.
