Good to see evidence of the merciless forensic questioning of the panel from the RL jounro intelligentsia....not

Were they primed not to be 'difficult'..

Can you imagine Toovey signing if he wasn't given any assurances of player recruitment and felt totally satisfied with the intent of the new owners.
He probably has more knowledge right now of the immediate plans and they must have satisfied him. He must know something we clearly don't that takes him from Sydney to sunny Bradford. I expected an aging out of work Ausie looking for a couple of years sight seeing in Europe with a bit of coaching to keep him amused.
WOW! look who we have got.
That gives me much encouragement.
Lets get a dozen senior players signed quickly.
It is then up to the coach to train and motivate them properly.
Still sorry to see Rohan go but it does feel like we have a good replacement.
The signings in the next few days could see a massive surge in optimism and ticket sales.

I need to call to sort my season paid the deposit I haven't seen any payments come out do I just ring them??

They don't get a gig in RL unless they are obsequious and promise not to rock the boat.

Tony Hannan doesn't get invited for tea and biscuits by the RFL any longer since he chose to hold contrary opinions.

Peter Smith of the YEP, Hetherington's Budgie and the rest are safe though. They don't ask too many difficult questions.

I knew I liked Tony Hannan for a reason.

I'm not surprised Jeff, it's always been like that as long as I can remember.

All fairly positive on the whole.Toovey is a fantastic appointment not just for his coaching abilties but perhaps just as important at this stage his contacts within the game.Jaz Athwal is a great appointment.True rugby league man.True Bradfordian.Yes he was involved with the Green regime but was very much on the outer and not involved with the day to day running of the club.

So we’ve got one of the top coaches in RL. Any idea of the length of the contract?

No idea at all who’s funding what.

No idea of who else has signed yet either.

What did they get asked? Their desert island discs?

Here's a few of his recent tweets...

[iRFL 'media briefing' tomorrow with Wood & Rimmer apparently. No invite here, as usual. Disappointed. Enjoy a good comedy double act. SAD![/i

[iIt's time to drain the Red Hall swamp.[/i

Didn’t know Hannan was persona non grata. Respect!

And these...

[iShould point out it isn't just me not invited to RFL briefing. A few other 'dissenting voices' too. No insinuation re those who are btw 1/2...

--- But when a governing body won't 'brief' (ie share tea and biscuits) with anyone it sees as a critic, then RFL is in dodgy waters 2/2

Just putting that out there. If you're not fussed about RFL accountability, fair enough. You'll get the game you deserve.[/i
