I have heard that the Dewsbury Rams are becoming very interested in our academy coach Gary Thornton,he would be a big loss to our club imo if he went

word has it that he would take it too if it was offered as he's not convinced at all by Basil's coaching and how he's handling the club and it's players at present,apparently the whole coaching team don't rate him one bit and reckon that the club has gone back years from when matterson was at the club and that the after effects of this will show up down the line

Should we be concerned about Basil if this is true?

Wouldn't believe a word of it.

Your answer to everything.

Your trolling really is getting tedious? Never mind Gronk will be along to quote the AUP at you soon enough.

which part would you not believe

Thornton leaving

or

Millwards coaching

Millward's coaching.

To be fair, I'm surprised Thornton has stayed this long. Was a very good coach at Batley so it seems unusual for him to stay down the ranks at Cas.

Agree - don't think it is any surprise GT attracts attention of clubs for his experience.... but that is why. his experience.

Anything else is merely conveniently adding another dimension that doesn't exist - if Basil and GT had aproblem with each other, they would have encouraged each other to pursue other opportunities by now, for someone of Gary's experience int he game, he could have gone somewhere else quicker and easier than this.

Thats far kinder than where i thought you may suggest his head resided.
Back O/T, GT is a very well respected coach and a nice guy, i'm sure if Mildred wanted shut he would have been gone by now, but he won't be short of offers, very much Cas's loss, but equally very lucky having him in the job in the first place.

Deliberately taking a pot-shot at me, avoiding the AUP and not speaking about the topic subject? Yeah, clear trolling actually.

Much of the backroom staff is what Millward brought in to be honest.

Has Jowitt left the Rams or is it going to be a lateral move for Thornton? Can't see him leaving unless it's for a head coaching job.

As for the Wakey fans trying to ruin ANOTHER thread - if you can't respond to threads that Fully posts in without going off topic and having a pop A. don't even bother reading or B. don't reply, or your ability to do so may have to be taken away from you.

Quite surprised that Basil didn't appoint him assistant really. I wonder if Thornton is happy being away from the limelight. Didn't he cite junior development as his reason for taking the job in the first place?

Gary is extremely well thought of down the lane and I can't see him leaving any time soon.
COYF!

Head coach at York City Knights next season - 2 year deal.
