Whilst Redford would not be my first choice, that'd be Morgan, Radford has coached Easts for years as he not plus he runs quite a few pubs now so the guy is obviously no mug

He runs pubs? Oh, why didn't you say so earlier? I take it all back, he'll be a great appointment. I reckon we should get Andy Dannatt in as his assistant.

Personally I'd have Kingy as assistant to Radders

Have to say I would rather keep Gentle as head coach than have Radford. If it is true that PG has walked out is it player power? Or does he feel he is not able to take us further?

The worry for me is we have been here in this scenario already and it's never worked well, Kear moved up from McRae & Agar from Sharp. We an experienced coach with proven ability.

Radford will no doubt make a good head coach at some point but still feel he needs more experience if coaching at this level and senior players.

Stepping back and looking at the season as a whole and what's happening now does make me wonder if the tail is wagging the dog so to speak.

You'd have a bloke who wasted his career because of his love for a pint or 12 involved with the coaching of our squad? Why on Earth would you want to do that?

Experienced coaches aren't exactly falling from the sky are they? Why would an NRL coach give up his job and move to the UK?

Maybe so. I've had something of a sense of humour failure this morning for some reason.

Well they wouldn't.

Nor would the majority of assistants.

Watch some NRL mate, it's looking like a great game.

Lets face it, Udders was a sackable offence. Gentle has to go, so do some contracted players, and before anyone whines about contracts in place, i think we all know now they are worth zip. Ask AP and Koukash.

I dont really care at this point who is the talk of coming in, as if/when the post becomes available, those who really want to be here will be applying, then pick the man.

Hopefully on the players front, Langley has a MOS season at Rovers, just to show AP we should have signed him. He has more medals than Ellis, DJ, Yemo, Westy and various other damp squibs
