Not that impressed with Grix.

Yeah Grix would be underwhelming to say the least.

Of all the names being mentioned so far not many are impressing me, Watson I don’t have a good vibe about, and if he had a SL offer he’d be off like a shot.
Dunning, been there done that.
Henderson, York’s form under him last season speaks for itself.
Mike Eccles might be a good shout but would he want to up sticks 200 miles north?
If I had my choice and money no object I would try and tempt Mr Happy, Brian Mac back to the club.
Surely he must be sick of the sunshine down under by now

Simon Grix would be a dreadful appointment. He did nothing at Halifax and we all witnessed the car crash he managed at Hull FC this season. Appointing him would be a massive backward step.

Brian McDermott would be a good appointment but I’m not sure we can lure him away from Australia.

What's Danny Ward up to?

So if he's a young family, he's probably setting off just while they're finishing school, then getting home when they're in bed. Those years are precious and as much as we all demand loyalty, at the end of the day rugby should always come second. You don't get that time back.

He only signed a contract extension in June!! I'm fairly sure factors such as those were considered by him at the time. He clearly talked a good game but to walk away from a new deal with 3 years to run doesn't show him in a great light in my eyes.

Whoever comes in, let's be sure they're committed to stick around for a couple of seasons at least.

Chev Walker (Leeds ass)
Ian Watson (free agent or still in contract with Hudds?)
Danny Ward (Hull KR ass)
Rohan Smith (only just returned to Oz so seems unlikely)
Lee Radford (Northampton RU?)

Possibly may look overseas?

Yeah fair point.

Walker would be a dreadful appointment. Nothing says to me he's a good coach.

Ward of Watson top of my list.

Tony Smith brought him over here to Hull, but it went belly up shortly after.

Please NOOOOÒ

Agree with this. Expected commitment from the players that he didn't have himself.

Danny Ward would be great, but didn't he turn down a full time role at Cas, so not sure we'd be that attractive a proposition.

Wonder whether having Nobe as 'consultant' will impact on who applies - I guess perhaps an experienced head coach might want more control.

Last two coaching appointments haven't lasted long so hopefully it is 3rd time lucky!!
