Have always wondered if a (full time) coach at a SL club could also carry a role as head coach in a lower league? (ok maybe Leigh a bit big) but in terms of day to day training would it be any different to those coaches employed in a full time job outside of RL? Plus not all SL coaching staff will be required on game day in case of any clashes.

Lots of preparation required these days video work alone is about 12 - 15 hrs which at Championship level most head coaches do their own, at SL level they either have a consultant or an assistant doing it. Training drills are mostly repetition with the odd tweak to suit the team you play next, I would think weights and fitness etc would be a set programme. So perhaps an assistant coach at a SL club may have the time but the head honcho no. But the amount of other 'duties' a head coach at a Championship club now does makes it difficult for it to be a part time job one would think.

Not as daft as it sounds - wasn't Barrie Mac on the coaching staff at Leeds while playing for Widnes?

OK - we'll have Basil and Tony Smith on a jobshare!!

You mean a ' feeder club ' ?

Your a cynical being you.
