funny how this Martin/Barron selection sways one way then another
Barron looks to be another with the frame to add some weight and could end up being another Joe Burgess type of wing.
I would keep Martin on the left wing with Briscoe with Chamberlain on the bench.
Gardiner will end up in the lower divisions dont see anything in him to say he would/could be S/L quality

I am no Grix fan but if you cant see an improvement since Tinkering Tony was here then you need to give your head a wobble

I don't think Grix has done to bad imo , Every year we hear the same of of the coach trying to narrow the gap between our worst performance and our best ( yes it's hard ).
I think Grix has done this to an extent .
The challenge for him now is to keep the team motivated and playing well enough through our nose dive period of August & September .

He just gives me Andy Last at Cas vibes. Looks out of his depth.

He was a big part of pre season, doing all the field drills and we look terrible. Might seem harsh but I hope Cartwright moves him on tbh but I think he'll be here next year.

Last is rated by other senior coaches somehow , I think Wane got him in the England set more or less straight away .

He's a very good assistant is Last.

In fact Last is leaving Catalan after this year, and has 3 offers on the table

Guessing one isn't Hull, still think we could do with another assistant, Smith and Gene left, with Cartwright and Ellis coming in, although I'm not sure what Ellis role is?

All our coaches seem to be coaches focusing on defense, think we could do with an attack minded coach, someone like Horne or Sheridan.

Also a coach less in the pathways, as Riding left and was replaced internally.

Paul Cooke was the attack coach at York, which incidentally where Myler last played.

Radford was close to Wane and recommneded Andy Last for the England job
