Mentioned in this article that Brenno is a chance.

He is a very hard man on discipline. He is a former police prosecutor and doesn't stand for any poor behaviour, on or off the field.

He was a decent lower grades coach at the Knights till Wayne Bennett sacked him to put in his own guy as under 20s coach, and Brennan got the job as under 20s coach at Penrith and smashed it in under 20 and reserve grade for the next 3 years (while living in Newcastle and making a 200klm round trip several times a week to coach).
The best thing about him is that he has coached some amazing young players at Penrith - the best lower grade squads in the game for the last few years - and a lot of them would be very keen to play for him again. Penrith are shedding heaps of talented young players, and Brennan has them all on speed dial.

Thanks as always roopy,this sounds like somebody who would fit the bill perfectly. Fingers crossed.

Going along with Roopy's excellent in depth analysis and knowledge, I think Rick Stone or Garth Brennan would have been perfect fits for us. One would have got the best out of our average squad the other would have developed and got the best out of the youngsters Peacock is bringing into the club. Doubt we would have stood a chance signing them after the way we treat their mate.

However if we get McNamara I won't be too disappointed and I'm willing to give him a chance. Not bothered that he played for those on the wrong side of the river, as I am old enough to remember what some players like Arthur Bunting achieved when they crossed to coach the other side.

Between macnamara and mcdermott I'd appoint mcdermott as rovers coach every day of the week but then I am a Hull supporter

Well he certainly knows how to beat Hull

Yes, thank you. I'm right about McDermott though, aren't I?

You need to wait until leeds announce he's leaving

I don't know who this new coach will be but hopefully he's bringing some defence and organisation with him because last night's game showed we don't have either. Whoever our next coach is has got a massive job on there hands.

We need to sign a captain, with no leader on the pitch we'll fail every year. Campese has to go, risk is far too great to go around again carrying a player who will be lucky to get through a match a season
