jacksy Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Fitzgibbon or Ward. No to the rest. Rugby Union the only game in the world were the spectators handle the ball more than the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 What’s the point in discussing this? Apparently all clubs are going to go bust over the next few weeks and rugby league will never be played again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manfred Mann Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Why isn't Trent Barrett being considered? He had two years as a player at Wigan. Barrett was later head coach of Manly Warringah 2016-18, during which time he had an inconsistent record, which included 6th place one year, and second last in his final year.. Barrett is now one of two assistant coaches to Ivan Cleary at Penrith Panthers. However Craig Fitzgibbon is obviously a strong contender, given his two years as a player at Hull FC, where he was very popular, and his time as an assistant coach working with the masterful and extremely successful Trent Robinson at the Sydney Roosters. I am sure that Fitzgibbon is happy in his current position, but I doubt that he would turn down the offer of a well paid head coach position at Hull FC. .

Tre Cool Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Id go for Danny Ward. It always seems so tense and serious up there and it must rub off onto the players. Danny has a really refreshing laid back attitude which takes pressure off players, it would help to not have a local / ex Hull man too (and he gets results and plays good footy).

Another then assistant coach at the Sydney Roosters, Justin Holbrook, left his position in the NRL to become head coach at St Helens -- a very successful appointment, which later led to him becoming head coach at the Gold Coast Titans in 2020. So are you in fact saying that moving to Hull, working at the whim of and under the control of the cruel and heartless Adam Pearson, would be a different, much worse choice than moving to St. Helens working under the kind and affable Eamonn McManus?
