| Tyrone Roberts plays for the Titans.
Come on Rohan, have a word and let that old rumour come true too.

| Wasn't instrumental in the appointment - Green brought in external help for two interviews, can't say who but very, very credible

Oh no. Score one for knowing someone who told you something but we can't be distracted by another bout of the "I know something you don't" guessing game over who helped Green!!
But I'll guess Nathan Brown because he's also a colour.

| My sources at the club, who wish to remain anonymous say it's definitely Rohan Smith.
Certainly not a meh appointment.
You might regain your position in my favourite top 2 Championship clubs from West Yorkshire beginning with B list.

I wonder what radical ideas he will bring? I bet he is one of these visionaries with lots of harebrained schemes, like a scrum half or other such nonsense...'"
I am fearful of his previous role as defensive coach...it may bring him into conflict with those who believe defence is better left to the opposition?
As another above said, this is the first time I've been excited by news from Odsal since.....errrr oh yeah Beaver joined....

Of course, I knew three weeks ago it was going to be Rohan. Though I certainly had no intention of stating so on here and having the news of the actual coach mixed in with all the speculation and rumours.....

I knew before the start of the season. I also know who the new scrum half will be, although I am of course sworn to secrecy so couldn't possibly divulge a single bit of info that might give me away as talking out of my 'arris.

| Can I just be the first to say that this won't help us and we are all doomed. Anyone who feels inexplicably upbeat about this appointment is a fool. Anyone who thinks anything good will happen to us is a fool. FOOL FOOL FOOL.

To be fair to Frank, he was at least on the money this time. Unlike when he said for definite that we were getting Stephen Kearney to replace McNamara.
Remember people, if it's on the internet it's there for EVER

| Good comments from Tony Rae about him. Say's he will be very pro-active in player recruitment and will bring in his players. Very encouraging.
There were times when it appeared Mr green was starting to get stick.
Look at it now. He saved the club and put it on a level footing. Built the youth team - players and staff up again. yes, Jimmy didn't work but it was a fair punt at the time. Now, he looks to have made a bold and exciting appointment. If Rohan is given the free hand to bring in a handful of players he has done a decent job in his first two years especially as we all know he hasn't millions to throw at the club.

By far the most sensible posts on this thread have come from mystic eddie. - copyright Ewwenorfolk 09.04.2013
Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know:

You were arrogantly sure, and you were spectacularly wrong.
You look silly.

| I was in line for the role.
I didn't mention it, as I didn't want to get your hopes up too much, but it obviously didn't work out in the end and it was kicked sideways to young Smith.
Total bullsh[size.[/sizeit apart, I find myself inexplicably upbeat about it all. Green has (yet again) played a blinder for the club, and when I look at the experience our new coach has very clearly built up over many years, plus he couldn't have a better pedigree, then I'm frankly amazed that we managed to get him. And for 3 years!
Bravo, Mr. Green!
As a former Head Coach of Tonga, all I want him to do now is stop off in Tonga on the way here, and pick up any young scrum half of his choice (he must know a few) and smuggle him on the plane.
Whether he does that or not, I'd bet a lot of money that he won't stand for the madcap "no need for a 7" theory for five minutes. Ferres, or whoever dreamed that up, should have their mouth duct-taped automatically any time they in future are thinking of venturing a rugby based opinion.
