Maybe Vasty has already been given the job, but keeping his powder dry as John Kear used to say

Maybe he just wants to wait and see if it's true, much like the rest of us should really.

And just a heads up. If you start your silly posts about him being friends with MC/JM/the club etc, I'll be cutting you off.

Whether it’s Apelgarth or not I hope the club don’t pay any mind to us fans and make the decision they feel is the right one to take the club forwards.

Whoever they choose I’ll be sure to give them a chance.

If Applegarth gets the job I’ll back him 100%, same as any coach. Least if he does get the job he’ll know what academy/reserve lads are capable of seeing as though we’ve got the best batch coming through in many years. He’ll be a step ahead of any other coach coming. Are we going for youth with incoming quality. Soon find out.

You know its not going well when even Pop Tart is worried

MA was earmarked for great things when he burst into the scene as a young player but then fizzled out, I hope this isn't deja vu!

Re: Mark Applegarth : Tue Sep 13, 2022 8:52 pm  

Seeing as though Whitbread has just signed a new contract, he must be happy with our plans!

He'd be very unlucky to suffer a third serious knee injury, especially one that effected his coaching career.

Yep, have to agree with all of the above comments but let's hope (if true) that he can be Wakefield's answer to Matty Peet
BUT....just to throw a spanner in the works, Dennis Betts has just stepped down at Newcastle

Betts?

We will need an experienced water carrier now applegarth has being promoted

Betts should be ideal

This is way too early for Mark and is a crazy appointment

Hope it works out though and will absolutely support him

Really hope there will be a director of rugby to go with this appointment

John Kear as an example
