My strong mail is that Ricky Stuart has been verbally offered the national coaching role when Anderson's reign comes to an end shortly after the UK tour.

Ricky has been offered the role and has indicated at this stage that he will accept.

Yeah theres strong mail that Ricky will take over next year as Aussie coach, though I wouldve thought John Lang would take over as Aussie coach. As for Cronulla coach, Stuart Raper looks to get the job.

John Lang has been offered the Origin job more than once in the past and each time has rejected it because he wants to concentrate on his club. I think we should make a neutral like Econimidis or Meninga Roo Coach.

Yeah, I'd rather they have a club-free National coach, so there can be no accusations of bias in the coach's influence on team selections etc.

But either way I'd be glad to see Anderson goooooorne!

i agree with Ingoal, Tamazoid & Bartman

i believe that a national coach shoudnt have no club ties whatsoever (they wont be choosing their loverboys over players who have won a grand final playing in that position & are much better players)

Personally I'd like an Aussie coach who can talk to the media.

Stuart finds something to whine about after every game, regardless of the result.

"Webb takes too long to kick"
"Halftime was too long"
"Melbourne's tackles are dangerous"

I'd rather have Bennet, at least he knows when to shut the hell up.

Give it to Matt Elliot. I'm not a Raiders' fan, but he is the most down to earth coach when it comes to media relations.

Yep. Plus he wouldn't be biased at all. He's in the running for the QLD job next year, I hope he gets it. If Gould stands down from NSW coach, I understand both Laurie & Ricky are after the job. So maybe if Sticky gets the national job, Laurie will get the NSW job. Which would be pretty cool. I'm sure Laurie would give some Raiders a deserved shot.

:lol: your plan for world domination Daley is god?? DO the Raiders have enough players to fill the entire NSW and Qld lineups?

Now - if only you can get Brent Todd to coach the Kiwis, Mal Meninga to coach the Poms, maybe Gary Belcher to coach PNG, and Dean Lance to coach the French - that'd do it, wouldn't it??

Hey - you could have a "World Series" and Dean Lonergan could promote it :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

But you're not biased eh? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yeah i think the Australian coach shudnt have club resposibilites. But i wudnt really mind if Stuart got it just as long as they got rid of Anderson....as that means no more Kimmorley. :D
