That's what I thought. Goes against hoods fairy story about secret meetings in box 8 in t&a too.

Maybe Hood met somebody else in box 8 [don't think we can really say that Roger*]

I would love it,in the Kevin Keegan way,if Jimmy got the job

A coach who insists on, and coaches, the team to do the following would suit me :-

1. Pay attention at all opposition kick-offs and attempt to catch the ball.
2. Attack opposition at opposition play-the-ball, at speed. Do not amble a couple of steps and stop.
3. Rather than a flat attacking line when we have the ball, get some depth so players run onto the pass.
4. Do not pass to a player standing still!
5. Play the ball quickly.
6. Do not kick out on full from our kick off.
7. Support ANY player who has the ball - you never know when line will be broken.
8.Make sure touch is found from free kicks.

That will do for starters,it would curb a lot of my frustrations at any rate but am sure our expert posters can add a few more.

Think we managed to achieve numbers 1,6 and 8; but thats about it.

Not necessarily, the two clubs going down are likely to be fulltime next year and Featherstone and Leigh are also moving to full time from next season and paying the full cap. I read an article somewhere that Halifax are also planning a 'core' of full time players. So competition for players is likely to be greater than ever before even for superleague clubs where guys that might have otherwise have been moderately paid squad players may be able to pick up better deals in the divison below.

Given that more clubs are going full time, Green needs to move quick and appoint a coach. I thought he said he had 2 plans, one for Super League, the other for relegation. He should move on the relegation plan and allow the coach to start building a squad for next year, otherwise we could find a paucity of players, and miss the opportunity to get back to SL1 at he 1st chance

Would prefer him to get the right man to be honest.

Given we have the expertise of Ferres and RHP, don't you think we know the right man now?

I suspect we have a strong idea - though sometimes, someone you maybe consider to be an outsider, can perform really strongly in interview and change minds. That said, past performance probably has the biggest say - unless we are seriously considering a novice coach?

Re: Poll - Bulls Coach : Sun Jun 22, 2014 5:20 pm  

I spoke with rhp today and when I asked him about the new coach he said it was decided and the announcement would be sooner rather than later.
I then asked if it was a former bradford player and he said that 60% of the applicants were ex bulls players but wouldn't tell who the new coach is !
My next question was is it john kear ?
He replied that he had been to odsal this week but wouldn't comment any further.
I think from the way he was talking it's probably lowes or kear.
