Any word on who the new coaches joining the back room staff are? https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/r ... ch-3359706

Why do I feel as though I’m going to be underwhelmed.

Genuine question, what sort of appointments would overwhelm you?

Agree mate people will moan regardless

Paul Cooke and Gareth Ellis would be my guesses of underwhelming coaches

Re: New Coaches : Thu Sep 26, 2019 12:05 pm  

Why would either be underwhelming? We won't be signing NRL assistants to minor coaching roles. Cookey had a great rugby brain and Doncaster fans think they played their best attacking rugby under him, and Ellis has played under loads of great coaches, and in the latter stages of his career has been a defensive beast. If Leeds, or most other SL teams signed Ellis as a defensive coach I reckon they'd be over the moon.

Genuine proven coaches. I’m not being snide but Radford has supposedly said he doesn’t need anyone else, he’ll have to agree any new personnel plus I can’t see him working amicably with outsiders, so appointments from within. Ellis? he’d be a player coach, too pally with playing staff, a major concern with Radford. Cooke? is he up to date with the modern game.

Don’t know if Cookie is up to date, but he has a past history of not signing stuff
