Seems very passionate about the game from what I've heard on the radio and seen on T.V. might be just the person to put a rocket under them.

Hadn`t considered that, but yes, why not?

I see there was a statement put up on the Bulls site last evening but it seems to have gone now.

He was saying they've had around a dozen expressions of interest. They are going to advertise and maybe look to interview at the end of the month sometime

It did seem like there was a certain lack of urgency. I mean, everyone in RL knows the job is vacant. They could have set a date for this coming Friday and interviewed next week.

The cynical part of me wonders if Wood hopes Dunning makes a fist of it and they can appoint him on the cheap until the end of the season?

Jeez if they rushed it people would say they’ve jumped in too quick!

Leeds sacked agar on 21st March. Rohan Smith took over this week so about 5-6 weeks. Bulls will be a similar timescale it's crucial we get the right appointment and if it takes time so be it.

RS may only have arrived to take the Rhinos' reins this week, but his announcement was on April 20th - less than a month. JK's been gone for over a week already.

Just sayin'.

Listening to the full 80 minutes last night it wouldn’t surprise me if you stuck with mark dunning for a bit .

I fully expect this from our man Nige, Looking after the pennies so he can pocket the pounds.

He needs it at the minute...Any pound pocketed will be shared 50% with an unfriendly actor.

That's wooshed over my head.

Is Adam Fogerty still involved at Bulls?

Mick was mentioning him being in the stands the other day so I think so.

Apparently Mrs Wood's had enough Wood and has opted to terminate her contract though possibly not by mutual consent.

Apparently Tony smith open to a champ move… I’d keep dunning for the season if we were getting him

Too right.

Smith says Championship is a possibility and would love to receive any interest. I think Smith wants a new challenge where he would get complete control of the rugby side of the club and build it his way.
Please somebody give him a call and see if he would be interested but I won't hold my breath.
His brother did it with the Bulls in the 90's so it would be great to think he could do the same.
We can only dream!!

Think that he is blowing smoke up Championship asses and will still ride the blue and yellow elevator.

I don’t think Smith is the type to blow smoke. He made his name by building a team .He moved on to big name teams -Leeds, Warrington and International.
He then took over KR which I think he saw as a project. The manner of his leaving suggests there was a row about control.
So there’s a possibility that he might be interested in a club fallen on hard times.
Having said that, if it’s case of choosing between an aspiring championship club and becoming , say, Director of Rugby with his nephew as coach………
PS I know for a fact he was a big admirer of our Academy. Remember he recruited John Bastian and has recruited Ryan, Milnes & Storton . Minchella and Keyes were not

It's probably our most crucial appointment as heard from a few areas it's 2 teams of 10 from 2024. So we need to finish in Top 8/Top 6 next year depending on how the structure works. Keighley put a statement out the other day https://keighleycougars.uk/mick-message-may-2022

Hi bulls2487, your post and that statement (good spot btw) would suggest that the possibility of a 14 club SL for 2023 is still in the mix. Or is Bongser misreading (as usual)?

I had heard that was the plan
14 team SL for 2023 with 4 relegated at end of 2023
So it's either 1 down and 3 up or no relegation and 2 up.
Feel for Leigh and Fev though as be tough to finish 10th in SL

There has still got to be P & R between the 2 leagues if you ask me?
a Ten team closed shop is pointless.
I would have thought there would be some type of a league split at a point in the season, a bit like the MPG mini league set up .. "Every second counts" and all that jazz.

I think the majority of fans had just about got a good understanding of the current structure so its good to know we are shuffling the deck chairs again to address that Vital appointment for us. We need someone who can turn us into a side consistently in the playoffs. We are some way off promotion but playoffs at least place us as one of the better teams in the league on standing plus I suppose everyone has a punchers chance in the playoffs

The subject of the proposed sl 1 and 2 is covered by your own mick gledhill and co on this show https://youtu.be/ClwfpJO8v8k Discussion starts at 48:44 , first bit of the show is about challenge cup etc .

Just watched the last hour (from the suggested start time) and found it exhausting. It could've/should've been distilled into a 10 minute conversation, staged and scripted after that pub brawl had taken place.

Btw, is Gledders actually Bertie Bassett and, if so, is he sharing chief taste tester status with the Bulls' team?
