Is there much if any hostility to Holbrook? I’d imagine he’s the first choice of about 90% of Wire fans. There’s the odd John Kear fan out there of course but I think Holbrook signing would be greeted with almost unanimous positivity.
Just for interest Holbrook is the 6/4 favourite with BetFred. Justin Morgan is 5/1 whilst Michael Monaghan is a big 25/1. Ducky can get odds off 100/1 for John Kear although I'm sure it should be 1000/1.

Some interesting Names, I don't know much about some of the Aussie coaches. Not sure I would want Justin Morgan though. The 100-1 shot made me laugh.

The Wire - It's Time To Believe
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will. When the road you're trudging seems all up hill, When the funds are low, and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with the twists and turns, AS everyone of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about, When he might have won had he stuck it out: Don't give up through the pace seems slow. You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out, The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far; So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit, It's when things seem worse, that you must not quit. NOW THE WIRE!
A name which is strangely missing from that list is Paul Anderson.
Remember when he was at Huddersfield, he improved them from where they'd been under Nathan Brown. Had them winning the League Leaders' Shield. Huddersfield! Nobody else has looked close to doing that. He had one bad half season and they sacked him.
Did Super League give up on him too early as a head coach?

Surprised that Jason Ryles is not on that list. He is at the point where the next step would be head coach of a super league club before getting a head coaches job in the NRL. Pretty sure he is back at the storm as assistant to Bellamy.

No he is at the Roosters now, he's agreed a deal for 2024 to return to Storm as assistant so he's a no go.
