Paul Cooke and Gareth Ellis would be my guesses of underwhelming coaches

Why would either be underwhelming? We won't be signing NRL assistants to minor coaching roles. Cookey had a great rugby brain and Doncaster fans think they played their best attacking rugby under him, and Ellis has played under loads of great coaches, and in the latter stages of his career has been a defensive beast. If Leeds, or most other SL teams signed Ellis as a defensive coach I reckon they'd be over the moon.

Genuine proven coaches. I’m not being snide but Radford has supposedly said he doesn’t need anyone else, he’ll have to agree any new personnel plus I can’t see him working amicably with outsiders, so appointments from within. Ellis? he’d be a player coach, too pally with playing staff, a major concern with Radford. Cooke? is he up to date with the modern game.

Don’t know if Cookie is up to date, but he has a past history of not signing stuff

Yeh beat me to it there. when the Mail said one had signed a contract already I thought, "I know who that won't be then!!"

The question asked, "what appointments would overwhelm you"

I know, but those two names would more than overwhelm!

James Webster will be one and will work with the academy as well - a bit like our previous plans when we had a joint academy.

Think we have to be realistic, not much available and affordable, I'd just welcome extra ideas and help.

Really hope one is a halfback

I'd like Sherridan or Orr from Cas, but can't see either of those leaving. Robinson at Hudds and Goulding at Wigan are supposed to be highly thought of too, but again can't see either of them leaving.

Rowley is on a short term deal at Salford.

I'm convinced Pryce will be one, but that's just because of his relationship with Radders.
