As he's been living here he would have a few things to 'tie up', I'd think. His personal finances for one (bank accounts etc) plus his possessions, car for instance maybe a house, who knows, not to mention a few goodbyes too, most probably.

Yes, there is still the human side despite the far unfathomables of the March of the Bulls!

As I said in a earlier post
No idea if coach is staying
Not got our squad together as yet
And guess what
TRAINING STARTS NEXT WEEK

When is our first game? Will we get relegated if we lose it? Do we have our first choice hooker scrum half and stand off and most backs in place?Is there a world cup going on taking the best players from SL squads downwards? Will the first bit of pre-season be about fitness assessments, design of appropriate workout schedules and the fulfilment thereof?

Don't panic, Captain Molskering!

Ok wildbill

and ok Molski

Kear is good short term, he would likely have kept Bradford up last season. However over the medium term, he is too old, old fashioned and will not bring on the youngsters. Bradford will get a youngish up and coming coach who has already been around a bit, and can see the bigger picture.
Toovey wold be fine at this level of course, but will his heart be in it. Playing away to Hemel Dewsbury Stag in front of 1000 mostly away fans is not Origin rugby. The guy that comes in will be used to that but capable of putting it to one side for the bigger long term gain.

Reads very definitive does that. All them comments point to Greenwood

who is JTCFJG that is the question? is he someone in the know? or just another in the line of those not in the know...
like Frank and Redeveready that like to drop hints??

Jimmy
Thompson
Colin
Forsyth
Jeff
Grayshon

Now three new players in that mould would do us very nicely. Even if they were in their final year... just imagine basing your prop rotation on players like that!

Wonder if there's another Forsyth currently under the radar like he was?

Anyway, I'm sure all will be revealed in a week or two. So long as we don't unveil some lame duck coach or a well known ex player with no qualifications or experience. Someone with some experience is vital.

I still think those guys could do a job for us

Well done. Very good.

No definitive inside knowledge Gents. I just listen and look and comment on my own rambling thoughts. I have no definitive knowledge as fact and DO NOT claim to have any. Just putting in my two pen'orth for what it is worth.

Two questions:
1. Who is the best up and coming, and most travelled youngish, English Championship coach?
2. Which famous (Northern) photo am I trying to use as my profile, because I cannot shrink it to sufficiently low pixels. Help please?!!!

Lee Greenwood? Or does it mean championshiop not League one?

Well at least Leon's out of the running on that count

I think given we have left it so late t looks like Toovey is staying? and the fact he hasn't taken another Job?

I wouldn't want Kilshaw anywhere near

Why not?

Just don't like how his side conduct themselves. Yes we need to be headstrong in this league but they cross the line for me and although we want our side to deal with the physical aspect of his division, I wouldnt want us to stoop to them levels

His side were an absolute rabble vs us.

Peltier ripped them apart

To be fair they beat us twice when it actually mattered

That said, I wouldn't want him as coach. Seems to prefer grubby tactics.

He has a lad called Joe,a tough Fijian. He is Hornet's Alan Rathbone. He has a 'Licence to Kill'.

Want him now?
