You beat me to it but from what I've heard he is a good "signing"

Excellent addition Clogger has a proven track record good times are a coming

Another excellent appointment IMO.

This is what we really lacked, a conditioner who knows Rugby League inside out. He has played the game at the top level and has been in the backroom staff of one of the most successful SL clubs (at the time).

I don't know a lot about the guy, but it looks like a good signing - hopefully, our players will be developed into bigger, stronger units, like their counterparts at other clubs.

And a Wakey connection (for a short time) though his dad.

Great pedigree. Welcome aboard, MC!

Didn't see that one coming, but having read his working background this definately looks like a step in the right direction,we have in the past had teams run rings round us on fitness levels alone.

Welcome aboard

Very happy with this, its a very good appointment. He will make a significant difference.

I know nothing about this guy but Agar does seem to be building a very good back room team with shed loads of local knowledge - which can never be a bad thing for a club like ours.

I've always followed Lombardis mantra that you build a club by getting the back room staff and thus the systems in place and working first. Real sustained success cannot be gained by short term signings.

Other than the Murphy situation it's shaping up.

I agree, i also believe its not just about signing good players, but good people.
Murphy appears to be both, if Cockayne is to be his replacement i'm not so sure about the latter.

Putting like that, it don't make any sense at all, does it ?

he lives next door but 1 to me does martin! genuine fella! great addition, up the trin

Excellent news. Looks like the best signing for a long while. Looking at Bradford in their glory days, they were enormous and the most physically dominant side in SL. Can't wait for the new season now.

Good CV im looking forward to the fresh start next season. Looking forward to next season the most for sometime !!!

I'm delighted with this appointment however with such an impressive CV why was he plying his trade at Barrow ( no offence to Barrow) I would have thought that he would have been in great demand from a SL side
Having said that I confident that we will be a far fitter and bigger side than last season

Thats been nagging at me too. Although it does say he had other (SL?) offers.

I think you're forgetting something here. Barrow or their Chairman were throwing cash around a few years back if you recall, Rooney and Cadic amongst others. They were looking a very ambitious side for a while so no surprise they employed a SL standard conditioner.

Garry Schofield took him to Barrow.
If you seek the opinion of the Bradford followers you may be informed that they were not too happy with him before he left and much of the success,they think,was down to his predecessor Jennings.
As some of you were quite in-depth with your analysis of Dr.Colin Sanctuary you may receive an equally in-depth analysis from the Bradford followers.

Best signing so far, this guy is quality. Top work

7 years worth!

Bradford

Didn't do too bad with a bunch of cobbled-together misfits at the Crusaders in 2010 though did he?

Comes here with a clean slate as far as i am concerned. Pal of mine is a dulls fan and he says of Clawson that we will come out on fire fit as the preverbial butchers dog but will tire towards the end of the season. Hopefully he has learned from his Dull days !

Could i ask why so many of you are saying the best signing so far????? why is bigger better? yes when bradford were challenaging for the title and c cup they were a massive side,but that was 5-6 yrs ago superleague improves year in year! and i cant say either wigan saints or warrington who have now become the dominate teams are that big as players! it all all about lean muscle mass and aerobic fitnes nowadays!.
Our problem over the last couple of season as been doing too much defending which takes alot more energy out of the players fittness than attacking with the ball.

Frying pan to fire springs to mind. Going from one extreme to another. If you get the happy medium between Sanctuary and Clawson you get the perfect conditioning coach.

I am sure you will see short term improvement but looking into his second year the faults will start to show and by year 3 you will all be questioning why he is at the club.
