I have been fortunate enough to have stayed at Narrabeen, where Manly are based and I'd move there tomorrow without hesitation.

I am under no illusions that the inhabitants of Manly have the same domestic and/or family problems as much of the rest of the world but I'd sooner have them in paradise!

Stephen Kearney is quite rightly the number one target. NRL experience, International experience (including working alongside Wayne Bennett) plus recent experience of the SL. He's a million miles clear of Lam or any other IMHO.



The other possibility (and 2nd choice from what I hear) if Lennigan wants a fans favourite is Farrell although that's obviously a much bigger risk.



Don't be surprised to see Dennis Betts involved when either of the above 2 are appointed. Big changes afoot at Gloucester RU and played with and still close friends with both.

Kearney would be a very interesting choice, but surely Farrell would need to train to be a coach first?

Brian Smith, with Farrell as assistant (and bring Owen with him)

Amen to that





Maybe IL was secretly poaching Brian Smith and used Webb as a cover up

This idea of getting brian Smith is up there with the nonsense about getting Jonathan Thurston. Smith has yet to win an Aussie grand Final. He has finally turned the newcastle team into a credible outfit. Smith is unlikely to be giving up that job for another re-building exercise with Wigan.

Was talking about Justin Morgan with friends last night



Could you imagine us fans reaction if we had given the top job to the toulouse coach.



we would have marched on the jjb demanding blood

Why? He left Toulouse in 2005 at the time we had Millward in charge?

i'm saying the fans reaction if we signed Morgan from toulouse would have been brutal towards the club



Know most of us want him

i dont think lam is the answer to our coaching issues.........

Lam would be a risk but i'd take it if we were unable to prise a couple of other coaches away from their clubs.



My first choice and most peoples i guess would be Justin Morgan but it's unlikely we'd get him i feel.

How did you work that one out?
