You've written that in a way it points to Ward, very selective text
How did Bradford get Toovey a proven NRL coach ( I accept there were visa issues but thats administrative) or HKR Sheens or Toronto the gang they have (lets see what NY end up with)
Its how you sell it. If Hughes was committed to SL and said we will spend to SC max and we have a 10 year vision for a London SL club playing in a nice stadium I suspect the applicants would have been classy and global.
We have appointed a club man without the necessary skills, who hasn't played or coached under a top rated current thinking coach, who will do what Hughes says even to the point of playing players he likes (anyone who knows DH will testify he is very vocal (knowledgeable) on his preferred players/teams/approach). Its a lazy & easy appointment that sets the tone for a second tier village/town social drinking club team which we have become.
Until we get investment, thats where we are. Lets accept it, we are 300 drinking fans happy with second tier rugby league who can dwell on our past achievements in SL.
I will also add, and I may be wrong with this but Wardy is or could be viewed as a bit of a clown/fun like character. Maybe a modern characteristic of future successful coaches who knows. It will be interesting to see if he attends games in a vest and shorts or will change his attire in his newly found lofty position.
Interesting times. A gamble for sure lets hope it pays off.
Out of curiosity Plummy what constitutes your backing?
