Ian Ramsdale has just twittered Guildford (along with others) being considered!

I'm beginning to think this is a very late April fool joke

Might suit Paddock and Wire though.

Kinda guessed that he was telling the truth about still being on a plane back to Oz on Oct 8th when Wiggy Questioned him on Friday, meant he could have a good internal s.

Interesting choice, he would appear to be better equipped since his move away, and given he went from playing to CEO/Coach?CEO/Coach all within the club, the time away with different perspectives could prove to be very useful to us and him.

Also he knows the club and it's history and will ensure new players get more immersed in the club and it's unique requirements, how he stacks up now on youth development and integration will be interesting as it never appeared to be high on his agenda back then, but a lot has changed around the club since then as well.

He would know the plans for any moves and also DH's long term plans for the club, no point in screwing up his career to come back if things did not add up for him.

Now then, which state in Oz will we not be recruiting from

Teflon Tony's barmy army.

ps well done all there on Friday for the TR Barmy Army chant, Tony Smith was well peed off with it when interviewed.

Yeah, that was funny when Smiffy said about the Barmy Army chant.

You have to wonder whether Teffers is a sado-masochist? He escaped once (thanks to IL) and now he's back of his own volition...the man is glutton for punishment!

Welcome back Tony...it's good to have you back.

Good observations from Homer (particularly regarding the yoof) - I wasn't sure whether a permanent move would be good for him and/or the club but the positive impact he has brought cant be ignored.

I am just worried that this good news will be offset by some terrible news regarding the next ground. They could have signed Wayne Bennett and the Australian squad for 2013 and I wouldn't go to Gillingham!

Yes, I wondered about the good news/bad news scenario.

Maybe the powers that be think we fans deserve a long holiday from the Broncos? We have done our fair share of suffering for these last 7 years!

Mind you, could just be Paddocks shorts they want rid of.

And if they had waited 24 hours Brian McLennon was available as well.

No reason to think they wouldn't have been top notch.

Still, we have proved in the past that a top, trophy winning coach isn't neccessarily going to succeed in this club.

Darth- Is that where BU lives?

I am not really sure what to make of this decision. Granted there has been a massive turn around in the teams performance since Tony arrived and he deserves a lot of credit for that but I cant overlook the fact that at least some of the change will be down to the simple fact that Powell has gone.
I didn't think Tony was a good enough coach the first time around to take the team where it needed to be and since then he has not done much in the way of coaching. I do wonder if the credentials of all the applicants were really that great after all

Anyway I hope I am wrong and I certainly wish Tony all the best and every success and will be more than happy to end up with egg on my face

Perhaps it might be a good idea for you to start house hunting again in the London area, as Tony might soon if not already beware aware of your mate Gus's limits and let David Hughes know. This could be your big opportunity. Have you bags packed at the ready

So its Tony Rea .... never saw that coming

My god I am in shock. Tony Rea's appointment even made the BBC 1 o'clock news. Just was down in my works restaurant and the news was on - normally we're never mentioned.

I am beginning to think that this Gillingham thing is a load of old cobblers, as surely that would have been an enormous negative in TR`s decision to sign.......yes we might be moving at some time in the future (I hope not), but surely it would be to another London ground.

TR calls missus........`Guess what we are all moving to Gillingham for a couple of years`
TR`s missus...........`My lawyer will be in touch and I want custody of the kids`!!!
