He does both to my knowledge and he was also involved at some level assisting his lad Danny up at Queensbury with their juniors until recently.
When he was trialling for Leeds colts as a teenager, we ( Halifax colts ) played them down at Brackenbed and he had a stormer that day, he tells me since that his performance sealed his signing as a pro for Leeds. He gave our front row a torrid time that afternoon, Nigel Wood propped against him, me at hooker and Phil Huck at blinside ( sorry Phil, no pun intended ). The first couple of scrums were interesting to say the least, it turns out Brendan and Nigel were previous combatants from Woody's West Bowling junior days.
