Halfback Matty Smith wants the Rugby Football League to re-appoint England coach Steve McNamara after he masterminded a 2-1 series win over New Zealand.
McNamara's contract ran out after Saturday's 20-14 victory in the third and deciding Test, which secured a first series triumph for eight years.
The coach remains committed to Sydney Roosters for the next two years, and he refused to clarify his intentions with England in the immediate aftermath of the match.
"We will sit down, assess it and look at it," said McNamara, who has been in charge since 2010, the last two years in a part-time capacity.
"These are the sort of things you deal with post tournament, there is a process and I'm in no rush."

A Rugby Football League spokesman confirmed McNamara's position would be considered as part of a wide-ranging tournament review, which was due to be held regardless of the outcome of the series.
But Smith, man of the match on his return to the England team, was quick to offer his support to the former Bradford boss.
"I'd like to see him stay on," Smith said.
"I think he's done a fantastic job.
"I think he's been building something good over these last few years.
"I don't see a reason why we need to change the coach now when we had good World Cup - we just fell short, it could have gone either way - and the Four Nations last year was the same."
Smith said it was a young squad and McNamara had picked form players.
"We're building nicely. Everyone wants to play for him and we've won something this year. Why change it?"
Smith, left out by McNamara for the opening European autumn international against France and the first two Tests against the Kiwis, justified his recall by producing a faultless kicking game in wet and windy conditions on his home ground at Wigan's DW Stadium.
"It was good it was a bit wet. If it had been dry and the sun had been out, I think I'd have been struggling a little bit.
"It slowed the game down and it probably helped me a lot that we could kick long. It works out good for me when it's like that.
