Radford out drinking with Ogre, tickle, DJ and miller this afternoon in Nu Bar - if there was any truth in him taking over do you think he would be starting to build the barrier between mate and boss?

Perhaps they're the departees only? Hope not Miller.

Why not?

Do you think those 2 deals are Gentles?

IMO

Thompson - McRAE (Howes)

Paleasina - Motu Tony.

Totally forgot that Radford & Tony had played recently together at Hull RU. - hmmmm.

suppose you could be right

Re: Gentle going. : Sun Sep 22, 2013 9:31 pm  

If Radders is the answer, then the question is wrong IMHO.

No idea who we should get but to sack an unproven assistant (who's appointment lots thought was a bad move) and replace him with errrr, an unproven assistant would be just perfect

I know it's been a long day, but why are all "assistant coaches" unacceptable?

It's been mentioned on here for years, but certainly a lot in the last couple of days.

Radford, for example, has been coached or has coached for 25 years.

Isn't that long enough to understand what the job entails?

It's just a game of rugby, when all said and done.

I've not said they are, but the pissing and moaning on here recently has been about Gentle only being an assistant before he joined us. Why, if this is bad, are some suggesting that Radford would be any different?

Re: Gentle going. : Sun Sep 22, 2013 10:00 pm  

Genuine question. When did Last start his coaching career with us and what are his notable successes in our junior development? I seem to recall that there has been a fair bit of criticism about the falling off of apparently good young local talent in that intermediate period between junior and first team rugby? Apart from a great work ethic and absolute desire for the club to succeed what are his credentials to take us forward as an assistant coach?
