I found these one links from stuff looks like He could put his hand in the mix
Might try and give him a call at ARL see if its some thing he considered jumping in part way through the year?
Former Kiwis coach Brian "Bluey" McClennan wants a shot at the Australia's National Rugby League competition.
McClennan overnight confirmed he was stepping down as coach of the Leeds Rhinos in the English Super League to return Down Under.
Leeds confirmed that Brian McDermott, who joined the club this year from Harlequins to be McClennan's assistant in the Kiwi's final year of his contract, will take over as head coach.
"I think the time is right to hand over the reins now rather than later,'' McClennan told the Huddersfiled Daily Examiner.
"I just feel if I continued it would be for selfish reasons only. Brian is ready now and will do a great job.''
McClennan said that among the reasons behind his decision to not extend his contract was that he wanted a shot at coaching in the NRL and to prove himself in that competition.
McClennan has been previously linked to the Warriors. Ivan Cleary made his job safe there by guiding the side to the finals this season but McClennan’s presence will certainly keep Cleary on his toes.
Leeds CEO Gary Hetherington said McClennan's decision to step down went back to mid-way through last season.
Hetherington said McClennan was considering an offer of a one-year extension at that time, but added "after a lot of thought, Brian (McClennan) opted for what would be his last year in 2011 and it was decided then to try and identify his successor.
McClennan led Leeds Rhinos to finals in each of his three years at the club.
In 2008, Leeds defeated Melbourne in the World Club Challenge in his first game in charge before going on to be the first team to win the world title and Grand Final in the same season.
In 2009, his Leeds side made history by winning three Super League titles in a row as well as picking up the League Leaders Shield. Last season, the Rhinos narrowly lost to Melbourne in the World Club Challenge and reached Wembley for the first time since 1999.

Brian "Bluey" McClennan has a new job – but it's not in top-flight coaching.
McClennan's NRL aspirations have gone on hold and he will instead be officially named tomorrow as the new coaching and development manager of the Auckland Rugby League.
McClennan, who found fame when he led the Kiwis to the 2005 Tri-Nations title, and followed it with two Super League titles with the Leeds Rhinos, quit the English club a year early and returned home to Auckland before Christmas.
He has longstanding aspirations to coach in the NRL, but has taken a sideways shift, signing a two-year contract with the Auckland league, where he will mentor and appoint coaches, but not coach any teams himself.
"I'm pretty excited by it," McClennan told the Sunday Star-Times. "It's really good to stay involved in the game and be helping out.
"I'm just happy to be doing something for the game and whatever else happens, happens. I've been entrusted to help the game in Auckland and I will do my best for it," he said.
