My Odds not in order: (and a bit of fun in these dire times)
Stiles 2-1
Blackadder 20-1 (shame , he was my first preference)
MOC 8-1
Taylor 4-1 (shame, he was my second preference)
Mulvihill 100-1
Lancaster 15-1
Fisher 8-1
Foley 200-1
Richard Graham 1000-1
A. Random ? 50-1
A. Random = Ewen McKenzie (well I hope it is)
Who the fuck is A Random?
I get sad everytime I see that name mentioned as a possible coach or even board member as some suggest. Let's stop flogging that horse, the poor thing was dead years ago.
Who the fuck is A Random?
The ten Queensland Rugby Football Union commandments number 4:
Thou shalt not speak ill of Ewen McKenzie nor shall not dismiss him as a candidate for the HC/CEO job
I am more than happy for people to discuss McKenzie - style, strengths, weakness (yes, there were some!!!). But holding out hopes for his return and the subsequent immediate success this will apparently bring when there is absolutely no evidence he has any desire to return is getting old.
If they plan to announce on Monday, when the Cru may still be in play - it isnt Blackadder.
A Monday announcement would be great. They need to call it and get the preseason planning stamped with the flavour of the new HC.
Why would this be an issue. His contract is up and they have signed a coach for next year. I fear he will be off to Bath where he will do a great job and be in line for an international gig in four years time.
Also doubt Fisher is in the mix if he said he's not. Integrity seems to be something he values.
Disappointing that there are no really good candidates outside these two. Everyone else is a development coach, unless Lancaster is in the mix.
Out of interest, why is Mulvihill ahead of Stiles? Or MOC?
I just dont know much about him, but in digging into the info I could find he felt like a long shot.
I doubt much that [Blackadder] has a great deal of interest in Australia (though I would be very pleasantly surprised to be wrong.)
