Richard Marshall is an interesting one.

Every time I've heard him speak he comes across as very articulate, knowledgeable and observant. Would he take the view that he can only take a part-time team so far, and jump ship to come to the Bulls?

I'm sure Marshall is destined for bigger jobs than Halifax. Whether we fit into that category is debatable. Perhaps he'll stick around and wait for a SL offer to come. But how long would he have to wait?

I'd definitely take Marshall over Morrison though - he just seems to have a bit more about him.

Think Marshall is happy at Halifax and they do seem to be building there and think he wants to be part of it. Although reading Fax's forum, sometimes his selections frustrate the fans at times but think he is a good young coach with a big future. Problem is we need someone for the here and now.

Full time next season IF make the top 4

Because I have been singing songs from Annie all morning I am now completely against Morrison being appointed.

Again. You shall see.

Another Gledhill account! (only joking Mick! we go way back im sure you know its a joke pal)

It's always sad when a great person is leaving an organisation> this is always tempered with the reasoning behind the choice. Much speculation then begins to surface, ie 'was he truly hacked off-has he got a better offer- was he pushed to resign by management- is he ill-has the domestic pressure with his partner/wife got to him?' The only person who will know is Jimmy himself, and he has asked that we respect his decision to leave on personal grounds?
So who's gonna start the speculative comments going then?
My speculation is that he is sick of RL and the way the game is going! I know that he dislikes the middle 8s and the hierarchial structure that made it, he also thinks the disbanding of a reserve grade is detrimental to the game. He doesn't agree with the sending out on loan a player that should be rehabilitated at his own club after an injury.
I also think, for whatever reason, he was upset when Karl Harrison left as KH shared most or all of his views on the game.
That's my speculation, and whatever he does I wish him and his family well!

I wonder what our budget is compared to Oldhams that just beat Hull KR.

No source then.

Someone at the club told me yesterday Matty Elliot is on his way.

I'm not sure about that Harrison bit. Going by KH's comments when he left, Lowes was pretty much ignoring anything Harrison was saying with regards to coaching the side and it was why Harrison left

Matthew Elliott coming in? Hmm. Let's hope Robbie gets his boots back on to fill the number 7 shirt.

It's the 90's all over again!

I'll throw in Brian McClennan as we've already a few Rhino rejects.

And Ian Millward just because no-one would want him so that would be nailed on.

Well, there's a rumour that Jimmy is heading back to the Tykes, which, if true, would leave him with a free rein to blast away at anything and everything he dislikes about the way RL is being run. I'm sure he could find something without too much trouble..

It isn't a rumour as such.
It was printed in the T and A yesterday that he is poised to make his return to the coaching staff at Leeds Carnegie. I assume as an assistant which I think is better for him as he is kept out of the front line.

I think Glen will get the job. If he doesn't then how and when will he get it. He isn't going to prove himself any more at Dewsbury. Surely he has taken them as far as he can. He is treading water there isn't he? I would think it is now or never for him.

I would be delighted if Matty came back as I have always said it was him and not Smith who did all the work with us before Smith left and had a short spell somewhere else before he moved on - again. Maybe that is why he produces good assistants because they do all the graft while he struts around building his reputation. I will save you guessing if you are wondering. I am not overly keen on Smith. He wouldn't last if things got tough.
