Lots of sentimentality coming across with the suggestions. With the exception of JD, I can't see MC wanting to spend money "for old times sake".

JD's got a good record as a assistant! But cant see him coming back as a assistant.

No, I think he's a good RL coach especially as an assistant where there's not as much pressure.

Maybe but there are loads like him and we certainly don't need to import them.

I guess the million dollar question is what was kear employed for in the first place?

I'm assuming it was to add his experience of coaching at all levels in order to get a general overview of the club's players top to bottom and identify any potential improvements enabling each head coach to focus solely on their squad...

I don't think a Webster would fit that bill. Although it depends whether the club wants to replace that role like for like, or with just an assistant coach

Personally I'd like to see an attack minded backs coach.
The other guys have the forwards. Chester needs to be a higher level and have someone a bit like him to run the skills side so he can step away.
A bit like I imagine Danny Orr is for Powell.

I think the coach who is coaching Wakefield ladies (WH)currently could be in with a shout! And knows CC too, just depends on his coaching qualifications I’m guessing............ a possibility while not breaking the bank

We do have Gilmour that fits that bill to some extent, although he moved into the pack. I generally agree though, I think finding a former good halfback/back who's now moved into Coaching and wants to continue his development at an SL club would be beneficial . Tbh though I've really racked my brain to think of a coach/ex SL players who's moved into Coaching that could do that job and it's hard. Most of the guys that come to mind are former Coaches that are out of work and I don't think that's what we're looking for.

Anyone got any names just to kick things off while there's not much to talk about and what you think they'd bring to what we already have?

Re: Kear to Bulls? : Fri Dec 15, 2017 7:23 am  

I got the impression that Kear spent a fair bit of time coaching the defensive structures, or at least that is what Chester said in previous interviews. It gave me the impression that Chester's strength is attacking structure and we have a gap on the defensive side. I certainly thought our defence improved notably last season with Kear here. Now that Kear has gone that is the one area of our game I have concern about, will it still be as good this season?
