Woolf really doesn't seem to have much of a CV to be honest. I'm not sure what he brings to the table, I hope they are doing enough research and not just going for any coach with NRL experience at any level.

Really? Being trusted with the Australian youth teams and working as assistant to Trent Robinson were feathers in his cap. He was always highly rated and I remember reading at time how good a reputation he had before coming over here. Woolf just seems a complete nobody, with the best experience being 2 years as assistant to Griffin at the Broncos, where they both got sacked
Phil Gould didn't like Griffin at Penrith either, saying "Anthony is very old school, he likes to do everything himself. I think in the modern day age the head coach has got to rely on the expertise, knowledge and assistance". So I'm not sure working as his assistant is much of a plus point.
Woolf has also coached Tonga, but again I'm not sure how relevant that is really. They improved solely because friction with NZ made a few superstars play for Tonga and not NZ.
I'd say O'Brien has the best credentials from those listed so far, but seems the rumour is he isn't interested. Very important Rushy gets this right so we can build on Holbrook's work and not ruin it.
He is Nathan Browns assistant and Newcastle Knights, credited with turning their defence around this year. I imagine Brown has given a glowing reference for him.
Seen Matty Smith in the Griffin on Saturday night, could just be a coincidence.
Oh, I don’t know. I learned huge amounts from ineffective bosses, and did not repeat their mistakes when it was my turn. I made my own, of course, but that’s a different story. In any case, JH has made such an impression on the club it’s very doubtful that we’d go for someone with an old-fashioned approach, as Cunningham’s was.
The fact that Watson is the "leading" British option tells you all you need to know about the current talent available over here. Unfortunately the demands of the club mean we can't wait for someone to learn on the job.
This is more important than Cunninghams replacement. Holbrook transformed the club but we'd have been happy with just getting some wins on the board, the only way was up. We need to continue the good work Holbrook started or the only other way is down.

We have to trust the powers that be at TWS in who they appoint to replace JH for 2020. I just hope who ever gets the job will be as good as JH. One thing is for sure the club is in a far better position than when JH took over from Cunningham. JH was very confident straight away with his team selection, especially with bringing Grace in for Swift in his second game at Wigan.

Would be very happy with the Demetriou apointment. Sucess seems to follow him.
