Spedding wades into GB coaching row

Richie Spedding today threw his considerable weight into the growing furore over the GB coaching position. With ex-Saints, Hull and South Sydney man Shaun McRae looking the hot favourite to take on a full-time coaching position with the RFL, the usual suspects have been sticking their oar in saying it must be a British coach that takes over from Brian Noble. Garry Schofield even went so far as to say he'd apply for the position alongside Lee Crooks.
"I care passionately about Great Britain rugby league", Spedding told this site, "and as such, I am not bothered if the appointee is British, Australian or Tanzanian as long as they are the best person for the job." When asked if he himself would like to take over, he said, with a cheeky grin, "Despite my obvious qualifications, I don't feel able to commit to a full-time GB coaching role at this moment. However, if it means I'd stop Schofield doing it, then count me in."
