Raiders Coach - the odds?

[jed]

Add Brian Noble to the list of potential coaches. He's done alright in the ESL hasn't he?

5 Grand Finals in 5 years, 3 premierships.

Plus he's the current Great Britain coach. He's also said that he'd like to move to the NRL one day.


I'd rather he remains with the Bulls though ;-)

I'd rather he remains with the Bulls though ;-)

Thanks for that.

Yes, we've not had a good deal of success with ex-Bulls coaches :lol:

 

[jed]

I wasn't saying that as a Raiders fan, as a Bulls fan I don't want to lose him.

 

[Raider_69]

id be saying it as both i were you

Bulls do well with him coaching in a lesser comp and canberra cant afford to take a risk on another ESL super coach

 

[edabomb]

Jed sure loves to talk up the ESL *whippish*.

BTW, maybe we should sign Dennis Moran, did big things in the ESL remember :lol:

 

[Raider Azz]

yeah what is with jed's constant whacking it to the ESL comp? is it because it gets you in DB's good books?

 

[Raider_69]

IMO we should sign Brad Drew, he carves the ESL up, even a 90 metre try
surely he'd go alright as a halfback for the raiders!!

 

[jed]

Leethal suggested Noble, I was saying no. I didn't bring the ESL into it.


Although if we did get him, I'd be more than happy.

And Azz, check with Ed, he's been given confirmation that there's nothing between me and DB ;-)

 

[Leethal]

Gimme Anderson. We need a cranky bugger that'll deliver a few rockets when required.

Matt Elliott is far too nice a bloke............

 

[SOULS 04]

i wont be happy with any of the coaches that have made it into the media spotlight as the next coach of the raiders

Meanwhile, Parramatta's Brian Smith has told friends he will not quit rugby league and plans to continue coaching for a 24th successive season in 2007.

It's understood Smith is poised to shortly announce his new club possibly with English club Hull.

Canberra has ruled out recruiting Smith while Newcastle is understood to not be an option.
Hull coach John Kear's contract expires after this season and the club is stalling on a contract extension.

Smith coached Hull between 1988 and 1990 before returning to Australia to coach St George.

"I've got nothing to say," Smith told The Daily Telegraph.

"I'd prefer to keep my business to myself."

Asked was Hull an option, Smith said: "They're all options."

 

[thickos]

WTF? They said they'd discuss signing Smith at Monday's board meeting. I don't think he's been ruled out yet...

 

[reptar]

Yes, I think the paper just made that up.

I want this business about selecting a new coach over with soon, so we can concentrate on retaining and recruiting players for next year.

 

[Mullins_y2k]

Well i know a roosters player and they say sticky ain't going anywhere....not that thats a surprise...it's looking more and more like Anderson

 

[Chachi]

According to the paper I think that quote should read "Canberra has not ruled out recruiting Smith while Newcastle is understood to not be an option"

BTW, Stuart is about a million to one to come to the Raiders next season.

 

[legend]

Anderson to Newcaslte and Smith to Canberra IMO.

 

[azza]

I wouldn't be all that excited if Smith was our new coach, to be honest.

 

[SOULS 04]

none of these names excite me.... dont think any of them will make that much of a difference.

will be glad to be proven wrong though.

 

[Stagger eel]

I heard Jimmy Smith from talking sport say tonight that he had on VERY!! good authority that Anderson will be announced as coach by next week.

 

[SOULS 04]

meh
over this coach thing no9t really happy with any of the candidates
