This is good news. Totally unable to build a team, or gameplan, that met the demands of the Soup. What's Rob Penney doing these days?

How long did Wessels sign to the Force for? The Rebels might have to have him if the Force are folded, because the ARU have to pay the bill anyway.

Not that that would be a bad thing.

Looks like he's over at NTT.

Welcome back, DD :)

Cheers mate. Someone needs to get Penney on the phone, his teams have always played a great brand of footy. All I really want to see is a team that's fast, physical, can pass the ball, and work to support. The Hurricanes have scored 85 tries this year to our 18, which is just mind-boggling levels of disgraceful.

And while they're finding a head coach, go get a new S&C guy while you're at it.

It's like Payto and Pada read this thread, looking for ideas. Still, their picks to replace Dumper are not surprising.

NEWS of Tony McGahan leaving his role as coach of Melbourne Rebels was barely an hour old before contenders started emerging for his job.

Frankly, Western Force coach Dave Wessels has been on the radar for some time.

If the Force get cut, Wessels is the heavy favourite to take over, particularly with up to 10 Force players committed to joining Melbourne if their franchise folds.

But the whole ARU saga in cutting a team has become so unpredictably long and frustrating that other big names are now in the mix.

But wait, there's more...

Scotland’s defence coach Matt Taylor is one, while Fiji’s head coach John McKee is another.

Taylor is contracted to Scottish rugby until next year and McKee is contracted until 2019 but agreements in sport have a funny way of unravelling as opportunities appear.

Taylor could be a key to snaring Wallabies halfback Will Genia, who is struggling to get a deal over the line with Queensland Reds given they’ve got three contracted halfbacks.

Taylor was defence coach of the Reds when they won the Super Rugby title in 2011, when Genia was man-of-the-match in the final against the Crusaders.

There has also been speculation this week that Rebels owner Andrew Cox has set his sights much higher and wants to target an international coach.

The problem is availability - most of the big names won’t be on the market until after the 2019 World Cup.

Let me throw up another name for Payto and Panda or anyone else to steal: Ben Ryan.

Wonder if Link would be the international coach they mentioned. Having a highly credentialed Victorian coach the team would have an appeal to the Rebels. Not sure if it would for McKenzie though.
