Steadying coach at this time who is pretty young as well, has won stuff with limited budgets at Batley and York, with our supposed "big budget" could do very well.

Quote: Wanderer "Thoughts now? I ask specifically as these posts reference 'ambition'.'"


I would suggest solid choices rather than spectacular.

I'm certainly not displeased and very much welcome Peter Green back to the Dons. I never liked the idea of him and his dad being on separate sides of the South Yorkshire divide.

My original thoughts were that if we'd brought in a coach with Super League experience, they would have insisted on having a playing budget that reflected their ambition to get the club into Super League. Such a budget would have had to have been promised to them, and we could have read something into that.

Gary Thornton may have made similar demands and the club may be prepared to give him a suitable budget to do the job. We don't know.

Basically, appointing a big name would have definitely told us something, whereas appointing someone who falls out of that category probably tells us nothing. I certainly don't mean to be disrespectful to Gary with that comment. My definition of big name was a high profile coach with Super League experience.

Good luck to Gary and Peter. They've got my full support and I wish them every success. I hope all fans get behind them and those we have recently lost will come back to lend their support as we try to dig ourselves out of this hole.

We can still stay up. It's not a completely lost cause yet but we really must win at home to Whitehaven.

Gary said in his announcement conference (which I hope the club put online in its entirety) that its a 15 game season for us, and theres still a hell of a lot to play for.

A reasonable assessment (except perhaps the last sentence icon_wink.gif , but I hope you are right).

They have managed to avoid my default position ... as I said to a fellow supporter today, I hadn't got to the point where I had a preferred choice (in fairness I didn't know who the last 3 were anyway), I just knew who I didn't want.
