Denied by Steven Broomhead in today's League Express.

Ofc he denies it, they were not happy when the Akoula signing was leaked before they could announce it. Why we delay any announcements is beyond me given right now we only need good news.

Not read it what is he actually denying? Could still be coming just not signed the dotted line yet. We need change and think most people would be happy going into next year with a new coach. Would love Monas to come back as a coach in some capacity.

Courier mail in Aus reporting Maguire to the Titans?

Re: Smith Out : Mon Sep 04, 2017 9:36 am  

Even if he's not coming (which is probably correct) why deny it and make the fans feel even less like renewing a season ticket. Can't we employ some specialist spin doctor to at least come up with some reassuring lies?!

Because that would upset Tone and we can't be having that

Just read that Maguire is on $800k a year at Souths. That's half a million pounds sterling per year. No wonder we ain't getting him!

EDIT: Looks likely we'll be in for Neil Henry then. Not got the pedigree or record of Maguire but maybe worth a try just for some sort of change. However, would prefer a up and coming Aussie assistant if we can't get a decent British coach.

Perhaps an ex MP or any other run of the mill bare faced liar ?

I bet Tony is upwards of £250K. Plus we don't have an expensive CEO now and Broomfield is paid in vol-au-vents and mini-samosas.

Going for a Aussie assistant must be plan b as looking at the league table, it is English coaches that are the success stories currently in super league.
