Someone with a pedigree this time please?
No dog jokes required.

The club have stated the current members of the coaching staff will take temporary charge .

First job is get Corey Hanson back at the club when his loan period ends , we need a back row forward asap.

His loan period has ended so get him back now

Not surprised at all at the announcement, good luck to the bloke but was just not cutting it here for whatever reason.

The next chapter begins with the squad announcement for Sunday.

Barry Eaton?

Not well thought of by Hunslet fans .

Stu Dickens ex Fev .

Think we need a strong personality as well as being a good motivator & coach .

Former Bradford Bulls coach Francis Cummins who as also been working at Doncaster Knights as there skills coach & recently lost out on the Dewsbury job to Neil Kelly could be a contender.

Will our new coach have any extra cash?

Graham Steadman was mentioned at the time GT came onboard.

Could be an interesting choice if he was still interested.

Will be happy if the new guy has any links to a decent half back pairing.

We donot do decent half backs .

I heard from someone who has connections to the club that the club are interested in Cummings and Glen Morrison.

He told me this yesterday, so presumed Thornton had been sacked at the weekend until I saw the news on Twitter today.

You may be able now to Dual reg some of our players at Hull FC.
Whatever you think of Dual reg it worked well for you when Paul Cooke was there.
Cant see you getting out of that division with that squad.

I wait to be pleasantly surprised .....
After three years of mediocrity punctuated by flashes of hope for the Dons, I fear another Thornton will be hired in haste ... unnecessary haste.

The squad will still be the same and is on course for obscurity. They don't need much guidance to get there.
I presume all coaches worked with Thornton and are part of what the club has become.

We need an attacking coach coupled with a second in command dedicated to defence alone ... since this is our overriding weakness.

We don't need a coach that was a forward ... since they ate negheads like me.

Well that is my choice out of the running then .

Depends whether you want to watch Dewsbury type rugby ... I don't.

We have had good coaches from forwards in the past.

I wish Singe was still here.
I would rehire Cooke and treat him with respect and let him get a good side ... not bloody novices.

Is there another Daryl Powell out there?

Cannot see Paul coming back but if he did he would be wiser & no doubt an even better coach.
