We've been talking internally here about different people's names and he (Chris Anderson) has been included on that list.

Obviously Newcastle is no longer in there which has got to be a good sign for us. But we still have to go through the process and sit down with Matt.

Obviously we weren't able to offer him what he was looking for.

We've had a lot of good candidates and some more experienced than Neil, but at the end of the day he is the person that is best fit for our club.

All I'll say is that I understand Wayne is tied up for four years.

It's easier to do it in the last week.

They [the NRL] haven't advised me that they've found anything to date.

We have respect for Matt and his coaching. These things happen. Six years at an NRL club is a long time.
