Exactly right, it’s a squad game, embrace that. I say more games, more games for everyone. More comps, more games in them, get more RL being played, more people watching it, more money in it.

If we need to play 45 games a year + internationals to fit them, fine, limit the players to 30 club games a year, easily rotated through a first team squad of 35 plus u19’s.

Maybe English Clubs should stop importing Australian Coaches with limited credentials and appoint a good English Coach instead.

As a matter of interest, where is the "good English Coach" Warehouse?

I agree to a point. Especially to fit more internationals in.

Whilst there isn't a "warehouse" as you put it, what's the harm in giving an unproven British coach a shot rather than an unproven Aussie coach?

Brian Noble, Daryl Powel, theres plenty in the championships too. Or here's a crazy idea, why don't clubs actually start naturing their assistants so when the first team coach leaves, they can appoint them like we have done with Cummings, Wigan with Wane, Catalans with Frayssinous. Funny how them teams seem to be doing pretty well at the moment.

Huddersfield too

Are there no local Coaches able to take the Helm of a also ran club like KR?
If not why not not? its hardly the toughest assignment in World Sport is it?

Surely there is a PLAN to develop first grade Coaches isn't there?

Yeah because Jimmy Lowes was f****** awesome when he coached us, wasn't he.....

And obviously because of that he must never be given another opportunity ever again regardless of what he's learned since. It's far better to pick a totally unproven Aussie because they always turn out to be amazing.

I was saying that in response to this obsession about promoting assistants from within. The Lowes scenario just shows that it doesn't always work.

Andd i'm saying a lot of the time it does work as the league table shows. Hardly an obsession. Now put your toys back in your pram!
