an hour and half later we were still talking. What i found was a charming man who has a very big passion for the bulls, but he was quite clear the old regime will most certainly have little or no involvement with the club. Some other things he told us were quite frankly astounding (which i can't repeat on here).
If he was willing to tell you, just another fan, then it's fair game. Get spilling those beans.

Quote: Nothus "I don't rate LSH, but am willing to give him a chance just like I am FC.
But with him moving up to assistant coach now, does that mean we need a new defensive coach?
It will also be interesting to see who is chosen to be the new CEO, it's a real shame Gary Tasker couldn't stick around.'"

St Hilaire was never defensive coach it's one of those myths which has built up over time Potter dealt with the defesenive paterns.

I'm not sure why you think Tasker should go. I think he has done an excellent job.
What intrigues me is your comment "Some other things he told us were quite frankly astounding (which i can't repeat on here)" . Understand your reluctance to divulge the contents of a private conversation but would be interested to know if the astounding things refer to the past or to his future plans.

'"

Neither do I, to be fair. Tasker has done Ok, so far as I can see and was just the experienced sort of person we need. I think a chief exec's role is one that needs an experienced hand at the tiller and one with direct knowledge of an RL environment is pretty essential when the owners have no experience (afaik) in running sports clubs.

My dad was at school with Tasker albeit a few years younger. From his accounts Tasker was a massive bully and a complete k***head. (Exact Words). So he may not have have changed his personality, maybe that's why we are better off without him? Although I personally think he done an outstanding job for the Bulls in both of his stints.

Quote: staffbull1973 "Genuine question, what does Duffy actually do?'"


Well I spent six weeks on Work Placement with him and he never stops.

He looks after the Media on a daily basis - that's sky, BBC, radio etc. Hosts the weekly Press conference at Tong. Writes and distributes Bulls Eye. Organises the Press on matchday at Odsal. Looks after the Press lounge and the aftermatch press con. Sorts out the Facilities in the press box, Updates the stats to give out to the media and deals with the photographers. While i was there a leading rl journalist told me he was the best in the game and in all his years at the club had never failed to return a call or failed to get the interview he needed. He also sorts out the Pre season media day, which is a nightmare! He updates and writes most of the stuff on the website and facebook and he edits the matchday programme a well as writing a large part of it.

He also does the Football managers role. He deals with the UK Border Agency - he is the only person at the club licenced to so that. That is a most important role because of you mess up the club can lose its licecene to employ overseas labour. he arranges all the fixtures and the changes, sorts out the clubs relationship with the drug agency - clubs have to let them know where the team is everyday. deals with the RFL on Salary cap, discipline- he goes with the players when they are called up - sorts out all the player's contracts, registrations. He also send in the squad every week. He arranges travel to away games, both here and to France and he attends all the clubs home games at all levels. On First Team days as well as the media he is the direct liaison with the match commissioner and stands by the dug out. he is in charge of that are and calls ambulances etc. He writes out the official teamsheet to hand in prior to the game and looks after the two way radios. He sorts out all the Player appearances throughout the year

He now has another job as well. He is Player Welfare Officer. He told me that involves sorting our education for the players as well as liaising with something called Sporting Chance. He was very active in that role when he was volunteering.

He is also a Trustee of the Bulls Foundation.

I am sure if you asked him to outline those things further he would be happy to invite you up to Odsal. He is there most days and during the season that can be seven days aweek as well as late evenings. He also handles all the Emails that come to the club.
