A leading English coach has emerged as a shock contender for the vacant Tigers, Bulldogs, and Warriors positions. Ian Watson, who recently took Huddersfield to the Challenge Cup final, has been put forward to the three clubs by a third party. Watson, a former halfback-hooker with nearly 300 games to his credit, is regarded as a rising star in Super League coaching. In 2019, he took battlers Salford to the Super League grand final and the following year he coached them to the Challenge Cup final before making the switch to Huddersfield. Few British coaches have made the transition to Australia but the last one to do so - former star backrower Malcolm Reilly - won a premiership with Newcastle in 1997.
