Quote frankb="frankb"Well we have to be realistic here.
Our coach goes for an interview at the tail end of the season. He gets the job and noone would find out until the season is over. Not possible is it.

I'd agree with that.
However with what I was on about in place it would have meant (in our case) Basil would have to have applied for , be interviewed and announced as going to Castleford by May 31st.
Anything after that the club who he signs for gets hit with - 12 points for the following season and £20,000 fine, might make the signing club think twice (or be less open about it - thus less chance of it getting out and potentially unsettling a team / support)
To get it formally dumped on our club in August was nothing short of a farce and it has had some impact (no matter how small) on our clubs chance of progression in a sporting competition IMO.
That cannot be allowed to carry on and is not healthy in any sport.
