I have heard that GC is a sound guy, he will have some work to do win all of us Swinton fans over. There is some rather upset lions fans atm. I was all of DR at the start of the season, but the way in which we are embracing it now has started some alarm bells ringing. Still if GC comes in and we win the next ten I imagine he will be a hero before long. RL is all about results I suppose.

I agree it is a shame that the saga has overshadowed what is otherwise excellent news- another British coach stepping up to professional level. I hope that when he clears his desk at Warrington any loyalties to the club are severed, and his interests become Swinton first and foremost. Will that happen? I guess we will just have to wait and see.

We are taking Swinton over just like Leeds took us over with Tony Smith coming as coach and then Willie Poching coming over as assistant coach. Our club captain Adrian Morley is also ex Leeds.

I don't know how our fans put up with this colonisation what happened to giving Warrington coaches or players a chance?

Next thing Kevin Sinfield or Rob Burrow will join us and I will lead the protests against our identity being stripped from us.

Hodgson?

Nah, i think he wants to back to Oz once his playing days are over.
