Is a top coach really our top priority?
Right now you could bring in Wayne Bennett and it wouldn't help because we don't even have enough players to raise a 17!

Thy are talking about a full time squad if I read this correctly from SKY:

"And Lowe added: "We do not see this as a quick fix and we will work through the immediate issue of offering full-time playing contracts to the team."

I read the team as everyone - not just the playing squad. If this is correct then they must have more finance than people are guessing. They are also offering tickets to ST holders which is probably worth £200k+

Shame about Rohan but we need a strong coach now. Lets all prey that the academy is kept even if it means prices are kept high so that money can be ring fenced for the youngsters and the coaches.

What do people think regarding Chev Walker. Should he stay - along with a few others.

Not necessarily a top, well known coach - rather a very good coach for our circumstances.
I have been working for 40 years and firmly believe that a good manager makes everyone else perform to their best. Not by shouting and threatening but by clear and firm management.
It all feeds down and they set the standards.

Like many things in life Bongster once the initial shock wares off people see things a little differently.
I still think Rohan was a good choice back in May but right now I would go with an experienced coach. I don't think that is changing my tune. Just changing my opinion as the situation has changed. The Fev game did that and the rest is history.

While were at it lets get Henry back at 6.


....jeez, how spoilt were we having Henry and robbie in the halves back in the dayicon_sad.gif

Jaw droppingly good? hmmmm , wait and see I guess. Depends, was it Mick that told Dave Woods that?

Just seen the tweet, Dave Woods has also been told the new coach has a proven track record. Sounds like someone was already lined up...wonder how long it takes to fly back from Toronto??

Right I'm expecting Craig Bellamy then.

We'll end up with David Bellamy knowing our luck.

Chev has confirmed on Twitter that he's gone too now

It's managing the fluidity. Managing styles differ but with a clear vision and purposeful philosophy, Bradford RL can prosper with the right heads in place. As an opportunity to get this right is exiting. There are no guarantees but the combination of smart thinking, sheer hard work and clear purpose anything can be achieved. As for players, the new owners will have some serious contacts, so I am looking forward to that. Under my other user name "miketaurus" I said (with others) that JL style was poor and so it turned out.
