I think Kirmo could maybe do it in a different way, former captain with great social skills, work ethic, and a half decent player, he also has a sense of humour and a rugby brain, and going by what he says wants to coach.'"
York aren’t going great. If he has the required coaching training level then it’s a possibility.
As someone mentioned I see Gale as stepping into an assistant coaching role. That said there’s nothing to say you can’t have 2 assistant coaches. Who knows but whoever comes in as assistant it has to be right. You wouldn’t want someone coming in and putting their own structures in place. They would have to work to what Mash wants/needs.
As for replacing Fifita. Not many players like him about these days. Best we could do is replace him with a quality prop with some size which won’t come cheap but needs must. These are big decisions you can’t cut corners with.
