We'd have been better off with Gerry than 'you know who'!! I must admit that I didn't know who actually does or did what at each level in detail but my impression was that Anderson P seemed like a good guy to have on the team but was over qualified if that doesn't sound dismissive of the role and recognizing that a healthy production line is an important driver to sustainable success.

Good luck to Anderson and to McCarthy who on the face of it seems like a good fit BTW Belated Season's Greetings to all

Absolutely delighted to welcome Richard Marshall back to the club and I can't wait to get started working with him once again. He was Head Coach of the Academy when I started there in December 2009!

Good appointment. Loads of experience.

Where did you hear that from? He was very popular with the players from what I've heard and was credited as the bridge that helped Woolf take over from Holbrook without any drop off, despite a massive shift in style. He was spoken about as a likely replacement for Woolf if he headed back to the NRL.

I'm really pleased with Richard Marshall being appointed for this role. I liked Anderson being at the club, I don't think it's a coincidence that out youngsters looked better prepared for first team rugby than I can remember under his charge. I wish both of them well in their future roles.

Surprised Andy Currier didn’t get a mention.
