I believe Tony Smith lives locally still. Wonder if he’ll consider it?

Re: Rick Stone sacked : Tue Mar 27, 2018 9:46 am  
About time. Shocked the club have even considered this! Ignoring all our off field problems, attendences etc, hopefully Thorman can get us playing some better rugby, that our players will enjoy playing and in a couple of months we may start to look half decent again.

One thing is for certain... there should be no rash decisions or quick fixes when choosing another coach.
Personally would like to see a British coach too.
I'm backing Thorman 100% to put some heart back on us.

I've been checking the news every couple of hours since the weekend for this. I'm quite relieved, nice bloke but sadly we've gone backwards. Hope Spuggy can step up and get us playing some attractive rugby!

Re: Rick Stone sacked : Tue Mar 27, 2018 9:54 am  
Probably the Right decision based on results.

Rick Stone is a good guy, he has time and respect for everyone and despite results this season he’s a good coach and man manager.

I hope he goes well somewhere when he gets back to Australia

The right decision. Clearly a nice fella who loved to play boring safety first rugby.

I think the day of the Aussie coach has gone. A UK coach please.

Suprised Andy Kelly wasn't put in charge temporarily as happened last time,Rick dug his own grave by making rumbling noises in the press about a new contract and churning out very poor performances and results at the same time.As we have allready appeared to have made a lot of recruitment and retention decisions for next season who ever comes in could find himself in a very difficult situation in trying to alter the losing culture currently in the club.

Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.

Re: Rick Stone sacked : Tue Mar 27, 2018 11:52 am  
Andy Kelly - I thought you wanted to start winning - if you aren't bothered about winning re-appoint Paul Anderson

If you want a young British coach - Danny Ward

"It's the refs fault again". Biggest moaning whingers in RL.

Re: Rick Stone sacked : Tue Mar 27, 2018 12:09 pm  
Stone is a quality coach and I believe he would have got it right if given more time. But a poor start and the taxi awaits.

But the club have obviously listened to the moaning fans.
