In all honesty, I don't know how anyone manages to rank Rohan either way on coaching ability based on his time at Bradford. I won't say he was good, because not a lot happened. Similarly I won't say he was rubbish, as he was lumped with a lot of poor players and attitudes and never got chance to bring in his own people or coach a full season, save for a few hasty additions to the squad last season.

The way he stuck by and still worked with a positive attitude after the admin is a credit to him as a bloke, and you feel for the way he hasn't got something from that. But actually judging his ability as a coach from his time at Bradford to me is totally impossible to do.

I agree 100%. Shame we never got to see how good he was (or not).

I agree with both of you. It's not that I believed Rohan would automatically be a good coach- he just gave me that feeling that he knew what he was doing , understanding not only the game but how to manage people. I was pretty confident that with a full pre season and his own selection of players, he had a better than even chance of making a significant mark.

I think, that as said before, the missing numbers in the squad list suggest some people are already in the frame. Have to agree we need them as soon as.

Phoenix looks a very talented and handy player but I fear the contrast of playing in the Dubai 7's on a dry wide pitch against just 7 players in nice dry weather conditions may come as a reality shock when playing up the slope at Batley in winter against 13 players with 6 battle hardened forwards waiting to knock this "little cocky buggers" head off may be too much to handle. I really hope I'm wrong and he goes on to be the legend that Robbie became but I have my reservations.

Out of interest, where did you watch the game? Bulls TV no longer exists as far as I know? I couldn't attend due to circumstances totally out of my control so would quite like the opportunity to see the match.

Above the 20 mtrs the defence wasn't too bad, but a bit religious close to the goal line, attack was o/k and I could see why Leon was giving the Team some stick at times and in these circumstances the right thing to do!

Someone at the club told me Cas are signing him now he is a free agent. Just because they can.

Excellent, thank you. I never realised stuff like this ended up on YouTube. This modern technology eh?

Will have a watch of that this evening before the Cas/Leigh game I think.
