If I was GH I'd be looking to recruit someone from one of the leading NRL sides. Obviously you won't get a head coach but you may get an assistant who could use a SL job as a stepping stone. Like a future Trent Robinson for instance.
I'd be seeing which assistants at clubs like Melbourne Storm and Sydney Roosters might be interested. Time to be a bit proactive and go and get someone. Someone from a proven setup is what you want - the Storm in particular would be a setup I'd want to try and follow.

The good news for British clubs is that SL will be seen by some ambitious coaches as a stepping stone to an NRL gig. There's luck involved with getting the right person as well, but the pool in Australia is really big.

The downside is that you may only get to keep said coach for 2-3 years until they're headhunted for an NRL headcoach role. But od take anything now.
We most likely only have the cup to go for this year after just 6 games. He hasn't got a bounce worth mentioning after the Hull performance. Its got to the point where the riskiest thing to do would be to keep him on to see us through more games before someone else takes over.
Hanley as a short-term option maybe? Definitely not permanent but it would get fans interested, if only to see what happens. Whether he'd want to do that is another question entirely.
The clubs in a big old mess. 5 years on of rebuilding and this is where we are. The team is better than is producing but still miles off being good enough. We brought in sezer and Austin around lots of positivity but they've been dreadful. Where now?
... Agar said he'll go and ask the players how they feel. I hope they tell him to go.
