Crusaders coach Brian Noble has denied suggestions that he will definitely step down following their run in the Super League play-offs.
The former Bradford Bulls, Wigan Warriors and Great Britain coach guided the unfancied Welsh club into the play-offs in his first season at the Racecourse Ground.
Noble has subsequently been linked with a move to Australia with current number two Iestyn Harris rumoured to be his replacement.
However, Noble has denied that Saturday's elimination encounter with Huddersfield Giants could be his last at the helm.
"When the muck and bullets of the season have finished, we'll sit down," he said.
"No decision has been made on my part about anything really.
"I like the Crusaders, I like what they've offered. We need to see some ambition there but they've done a fabulous job. They've kept this place on track.
"There is no doubt the distractions have made it a tough year but I love the place and I'd love to stay.
"But no decisions have been made and we'll look at it in a couple of weeks."
