This is an excellent apppointment, possibly our next Head Coach.

Good record at Hakifax considering an average to low budget. And doesnt feel like a cheap appointment by a club struggling for cash

Good proven Champ coach. His resume at Fax is impressive when you look at their budget.

Could turn out to be a very shrewd signing by what he's done at Halifax .Welcome aboard Simon Grix .

Ellis has gone
Cant be earning a lot more than Ellis
Could be a good appointment but would like to know what Gene does apart from being a shoulder for Smith

He's an assistant coach.

Glad to know you've got a breakdown of the coaching staffs salary.

Yes Ellis has gone a Pearson could have saved his salary to help out his so called cash problems but he has chose to use it on another coach.

So that’s the recruitment,Pearson,coaching staff…what else is there for him to whinge about????

Try criticising a Rovers player

That really winds him up

For me this is a Tony Smith appointment of the highest calibre. I have spoken to a few 'Fax fans since back in the day when Dan told us he was coming, and they are genuinely sorry to see him go because as a part time team training only at night he has transformed to a certain extent their playing style and game plan, but improved tremendously their attitude and pride in the club they play for. One fan who used to read the Diary and who hails from Mirfield told me he felt he had brought the team closer to the fans since he has been there. Smithy knows this guy inside out and although there are no guarantees with such appointments, I think with our current restructured backroom staff our club is in good hands. Let's just hope Tony is as good at picking players, as he is his generals.

Think he could be our best signing, experienced first team coach, which is more than Ellis and Gene are.

Excited about Grix coming on board. Done a very solid job at Halifax on tight resources & he came across really well in the HDM article last night. I don't think he'll be a yes man either, he will challenge and put forward his own ideas I'm sure
