Adam SutcliffeWhich NRL coach to be sacked first in 2008?

The pressure is on. With Wayne Bennett announcing he is on the market for 2009 and also fellow mentor Daniel Anderson looking to get back into NRL Rugby League coaching - the heat will be squarely on the likes of Nathan Brown (out of contract at 2008 end), Brian Smith (struggling at the Knights) and finally Matt Elliott (successful in Canberra but can't make it work at Penrith)
Not only is the ability of Bennett and Anderson attractive, but a coach such as Bennett can actually attract big name players to a club. For example, if someone like the Canberra Raiders could lure Bennett across - then they would have a much easier time bringing in big name players to what currently is a poor choice. (Remote location, weather and of course poor results)
So for the moment, the coaches under pressure will be looking over their should and certainly other mentors - if they don't get good early results will find themselves feel terribly nervous too.
