bret harris speculation
however I would be happy if it is correct

Why do they have to make a "quick" appointment. Why cant they do a thorough search, application and interview process this time and get it right. Sure both those two are apparently excellent coaches, but they are not the only ones. And look outside the box, they don't HAVE to be Australian.

Because they need to recruit and re-sign players ASAP, not in 5~ months.

From Manly Sea Eagles??

Sort of. He got around a bit, did Blakey. Starting and finishing with Manly (1998) but retiring before the season after a trial injury. He also played for Souths, Norths, Warrington, Canberra, Saints and Auckland. He managed one Origin. Many, including me, thought he was pretty unlucky not to get more. There was some bloke named Laurie Daley running around during all those seasons.

Strangely he has never been appointed a head coach at RL. He was caretaker coach at Souffs after the sacking of Craig Coleman. His only head coaching jobs were at Manly where he started with the lower grades and progressed to take the first grade side from last place to a Shute Shield grand final in 2 seasons. So we know he has some form on the board. Hopefully he can do it in one season this time around.

It looks like the players have spoken and the club has listened....lets hope it's true and the official announcement is put out quickly to confirm it.

I'm pretty sure it's definite. Tim Gossage has confirmed it to me on Twitter after I asked him. And Ian Payten has also tweeted categorically too. All we're awaiting is an official press release from RugbyWA I think.

I reckon the chances of Poey re-signing with the Force are much higher now after this!

Knuckles Connolly

I have his number

The bloke is well 'ard

He'll sort the joint out, put an end to player power, upset some limp d1cks in management and make them walk, bring in some talent, develop some locals. Viva la Knuckles
