That 'risk' applies to anyone we recruit from Aus. Enjoy his appointment, it will raise our profile at the very least... hopefully it will lead to success on the pitch. If it does then enjoy that and we'll be in a better position to attract another good coach if we have to.

Kerry Katona has just signed up two screenwriters to make a Netflix biopic of her life. So, stranger things 'n' all...

Come to think of it, this club isn't that different to Kerry Katona. Starts off with potential and everyone gets a bit excited over the flashy bits, followed by getting high a few times, then crashing and burning after the faintest whiff of a comeback. Now a dog-eared mess that's spent all its money on trashy bling.

Whoever fixes Kerry's career is the right person to fix us.

We don't need our profile raised. We already have enough eyes laughing at us. We already ARE the circus. Burgess will make that worse, not go away. For such a born winner he only won one GF in his entire playing career. Half of his highlight reels are doing things that will get our players sat in the stands for a good few games these days. Slamming Sam, oy vey.

This is sad but true. I used to love that "gladiatorial' aspect about our game. Now sadly gone.

Matt, we all have opinions, and watching that documentary has changed mine, and am more than happy to give him a go.

I was never a big fan of Powell and nor were the players, you only had to see their faces when that behind-the-scenes documentary came out. I bet they look a dam site more attentive next time.

Sorry Matt, my glass is half full on this one

Taking a left-field view that[/i squad in '10-'13, I don't think any traditional coach on the current market could.

Who dares wins!

We're not allowed to be realists, it means our mental health is lacking apparently. People will buy into anything if someone can talk the talk. How many were ecstatic with Powell signing despite the guy only ever having one brill season in 20 years of coaching lol. Apparently we've hired a born winner, such a winner that 11 months into his current role, that team is sitting 8th in the table. Really instilled his mentality on them there hasn't he.

The alternative was a guy who choked in two semis and has just been let go from a poorly performing NRL team. And he turned us down anyway.

Since no one of any repute is likely to be available for some time, who do we go with? May as well look on the bright side. Have a watch of the two documentaries and you'll see why he may bring something different that we've been missing.

At the end of the day it doesn't matter what we think. We don't have a say or any influence. It's quite a gamble for sure but you never know it may pay off. It may not. But one thing for sure is it will be interesting.

2 years was enough for Holbrook to start the 'dynasty' rolling at Stains. They've not looked back much since.

Seriously though - did you play Blakey in On the Buses?

Anyone seen any player reactions on Social Media? The emotional response (positive and negative) from us fans is wholly predictable. I'd like to know how the senior players are feeling about the appointment.
