Absolutely not! Especially after that article appeared in the T&A last week with Harrison singing Sharp's praises.

It reminds me of a job I once got several years back. I worked on a trial basis and when the permanent vacancy came up they wanted to give it to me. But rules and regulations dictated that they had to advertise the job properly and conduct interviews etc - they couldn't just hand it to me. So they did that and went through the motions then just gave it to me anyway.

I wonder if there's something like that at play here? Is there somewhere in the rules perhaps that dictates vacancies must be properly advertised etc?

Just a thought.

Big companies and the pubic sector have those rules for sure. They have proper HR setups and everything.

Tinpot clubs like ours that can't spell a press release correctly or know how much it will be to pay on the gate next season are unlikely to have them IMO.

Bradford Bulls, less professional than the adult film industry. At least we won't see any casting films from the interview process .

We certainly play like a bunch of pubic sectors. (That Freud has a lot to answer for)

I feel a shaft related pun coming from somewhere

The negative reaction to the Sharp announcement/non-announcement has led to this charade.

Wouldn't surprise me in the least to see Sharp/Greenwood announced as that was probably the plan all along, they've both been seen regularly at Odsal in the past few weeks.

Why would a negative reaction to the announcement of Sharp create a delay in him being formally announced as coach - I dont get it.

Makes even less sense Frank.

So someone up at Odsal probably thinks it's a really good idea.

Re the T&A article, does Karl Harrison represent either of them? I remember a Super dooper league preview on sky sports news about 6 or 7 years ago when Martin Offiah was doing the preview. Asked to name a player who was gonna take the league by storm that season he said... Michael Worrincy.

If you are Stuart Duffy as "Frank" is, then you would see them both at Odsal on regular occasions as you would have arranged to meet them there?

So following on from Karl Harrisons thoughts on who we should appoint has our next head coach we are now treated to his views on why our previous coach failed.I suppose everyone is entitled to an opinion but the timing of all this and with it coming from a players/coaches agent seems a liitle strange.
