Give over

Apologies. The early bird deadline ends on Friday.

The news on Broughs retirement came on 31 October ie the date contacts typically expire and 5 days before the end of the early bird deadline ending.

Contracts are 30 Nov aren’t they?

Yep, that's correct

Sad to see him retire but health comes first and fair play for announcing it early. Not like some players who do it during back end of pre-season!

Surely joining us was with half an eye on coaching but as someone said earlier do we have the budget to bring him as an assistant, with a view to taking over from JK. Mr Kear can't go on forever.

Glad to have seen him in a Bulls shirt but like people have been saying his health comes first. If we can I would like to see him involved on the coaching side. I remember when he was coming back from his injury he was really geeing the team up most of the times from behind the posts !

I’m Man enough to admit I got this one wrong and muddled my dates up. Thanks for those for putting me right.

I’d hope to see brough brought into the coaching set up so hopefully we can make that happen although I bet he won’t be short on offers.

Mentioning that makes me wonder what aspirations Brough might have? He's certainly go a lot of knowledge to pass on, though not as Head coach, but maybe learning the ropes from someone like JK. Would seem to be a no-brainer, to be honest.
