Nobby's contract is up at the end of the year and I'm surprised there's been no talk of his replacement. We constantly talk about possible players for next year but there's been no real discussion about next seasons boss.
Who do people see as a realistic alternative to Nobby?
Does anyone know whether or not Nobby wants to stay?
Up until about 12 months ago, all the chat was about Nobby looking for other jobs - Leeds, Warrington and a couple of Aussie clubs were mentioned. The boot is now very much on the other foot. You can rule Leeds and Australia out to start with, and probably Warrington too if they continue to pick up their feet under Smith. I'm just wondering if Nobby might re-apply for his own job, as there'll be few other options for him.
With regard to us looking for someone else, I'm still in a quandry. I don't think there are any British coaches who are better than Nobby. That said, would any top quality Aussies want to come over here? And if they're not top quality, would we want them anyway? It's a real puzzle.
