With Middleton travelling to Australia, it looks odds on to me that we be recruiting a coach from the NRL.

Are we sure he's not on a sight seeing trip to Uluru and the Neighbours set?

On Rowley
Whilst i thought Salford played some excellent rugby at the start of the season they have largely gone off the boil (same as us) and he has less credentials than Powell. It can only be somebody with experience for me. No more experiments or half baked coaches.

If Middleton is off to Oz then I guess that rules out Shaun Wane?

Holbrook or Monas then. Both of em would be nice….or maybe that wouldn’t work. I’d be happy with either. I know Monas has little experience but he seems hard nosed and would command respect. Plus he could pick himself ahead of Dwyer.

I don't understand some people's hostility on here towards Justin Holbrook. He came into Saints and turned a toxic environment into an incredibly positive environment really quickly. It strikes me that this is exactly what Warrington needs.

Agreed. Ex players like Wilkin etc always speak very highly of him. They were all in a rut before he arrived and he brought some fresh positivity about the place without the need for any clear out.

Imagine the emotions if Holbrook is appointed coach and announces he's bringing his best mate as assistant......

Josh Hannay is an interesting one I've heard.

Richard Marshall was Holbrook`s assistant at St Helens.
