Pffft. Not for me. He started the rot in my view. Lost a generation of players.

That honour in my opinion went to Noble who had great foundations laid for him by Waite.

Ellery Hanley?



Big name has been linked with a number of 'big' jobs since leaving Dony, even replacing Noble half way through the season.



Tbh not sure how good a job he'd do singlehandedly but with the right coaching staff, there could be a place for him. No doubt he's a motivator!

Now thats an idea i may consider??????

What do you think the chances are of Ellery seeing his contract out?

Two chances I reckon, fat chance and no chance!

Just thank god nobbys got the celtic job otherwise he'd be throwing his hat in the ring again.....and what a backward step that would be!!!

Edwards shouldn't be within a country mile of getting the job, he's been outta the game far too long, and i would say the same for Hanley too.... i'v got a horrible feeling though that its gonna be Mc Namara as i dont think there ar gonna be too many other English candidates for it.. plus they might want a continuity of smiths youth policy of if there good enough their old enough ...

People that take pleasure in pulling England to bits over last nights performance need to look at the quality that proved to be the deciding factor of the result more closely



Englands forwards equalled both the Aussie and the Kiwi pack's throughout the series, but we are sadly lacking the International quality backs

to cause them any problems out wide



This must have been a wonderful incentive to take into a test match, the fact that if you can contain everything that a side can possibly throw at you in the forwards but in the knowledge that their backline will not be able to trouble you out wide



How can any team defend for 80 minutes against super star players like Thurston, Lockyer, Inglis and Slater?



If you can, then i'd have thought that the coach of NSW would have worked out how to do it also in the games that count, because Queensland have put NSW to the sword in much the same way in recent years



Jarryd Hayne is a player that was voted the NRL player of the season, but he has hardly made an inpact throughout the whole series, Folau was also missing due to injury, sadly we don't have such luxuries

Wayne Bennett with Gary Bennett as his assistant

He was on the telly again before the kick off. He gets more air time than Ant & Dec.

Gordon Bennett





think it'll be an aussie, no english mon up to the job

mine too if only
