The West has an article discussing who will be the new asst Coach.
Speculates that they would be forwards orientated and says Mulvihill and Muggleton.
Will post later when the West puts up the story.
You mean this?
"The Western Force have begun their hunt for an assistant coach to fill the spot vacated by Richard Graham.
Graham had originally been appointed to move up from the assistant's job and lead the side in 2012, but his promotion was accelerated by John Mitchell's departure to Super rugby rivals, the Johannesburg-based Lions.
The club will be looking for an assistant with forwards experience given Graham's background as a former Queensland and Australia A full-back and Australia 7s captain."

After theperformance this weekend quite looking forward to Richards tenure but am thinking new blood would be best for the
time for a complete change of guard.
Definitely someone with strong lock, front row experience - we have been lucky with Sharpie but even he can't go on forever.

.......as a player.
If I was Vern, I'd already be seeding the idea in his mind of staying on as a Lock development coach when he decides to retire.
Matty Tink is doing a stellar job with the scrums, Richard Graham is the man for the backline. I reckon a good all round forwards coach or possibly a defense coach (given that Tinky could probably do the whole forward unit with the help of Sharpie and an all Wallaby backrow (with a Wallaby on the bench)

As mentioned in an earlier thread, after being reminded of his ruthless efficiency by the Classic Wallaby match on Saturday night, someone who could coach players to emulate the way Nathan Grey could tackle would be worth their weight in gold!

What about looking at our home grown coaches?
Mulvihill was once described as a termite
Chuck Norris has the greatest Poker-Face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.
tommy Fearn did a good job as skills coach until he was royally shafted

The new coach needs to be a forwards coach who can maybe double as a defence coach- Graham will take the backs/skills/attack.
Ideally more of a tight five player. Don't really know who that leads to yet though. I had thought of Michael Foley as Michael Cheika seems to be the man to take over at the Tahs after Hickey.
I wonder if Jim Williams would be interested in the job.
Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.
i wouldnt say a forwards coach would be a very knowledgeable defence coach.. at least when it comes to backline cover defence structures etc..
