he would be a loan signing that could actually add something to us rather than just plugging a hole

Indeed , Even if it's short term like Matt Peet suggests it could be .

Is it O'Meley?

It's frightening that James Clark had any involvement in our recruitment. I don't know him and he might be a nice chap but salary cap management is not his forte.

OMeley has links to both Newcastle and now Canterbury as he was an Assistant Coach there.
It was reported he recommended Tex Hoy to join us, and the majority of our latest NRL recruits are linked to both the above clubs .

O'Meley must be p155ing himself !

Grix given the role until the end of this season

A good decision -IMO
Grix comes across well in press conferences. He communicates well and has a demeanour that shows authority.
Hopefully a suitable candidate will appear as the season rolls on.

Will people sign for the club, not knowing who the coach?

This is probably our biggest recruitment for the last 10 years or so, need to get this right, think we need a new coach named (even if they don't start until next season) to help with recruitment.

Maybe, there is nobody reputable who is available to start immediately, or there is an agreement not to reveal the identity in case, it derails that club's end to the season.
I hope we have not agreed player deals, prior to Myler arriving , because we all know, our recent recruitment , putting it mildly, ain't the best.

It's a real tough one, need a cisch, but also don't want to rush and appoint the wrong person.

I'm sure, if it was for example, someone experienced and unemployed, they would've been announced by now.
Also an Assistant Coach , should be relatively easy to get an early release, or maybe that guy is integral to his club's challenge for honours.
