Nobody seems to know for sure if John actually wants to be a first team coach.

I'd sooner he stay where he's done so well up to now. Horses for courses and all that. We need to ask if we're serious about getting promoted. The coaching appointment will be key to attracting decent talent, which makes me concerned about the lackadaisical manner we seem to be treating the Toovey staying or going situation.

Kear is good short term, he would likely have kept Bradford up last season. However over the medium term, he is too old, old fashioned and will not bring on the youngsters. Bradford will get a youngish up and coming coach who has already been around a bit, and can see the bigger picture.
Toovey wold be fine at this level of course, but will his heart be in it. Playing away to Hemel Dewsbury Stag in front of 1000 mostly away fans is not Origin rugby. The guy that comes in will be used to that but capable of putting it to one side for the bigger long term gain.

Now three new players in that mould would do us very nicely. Even if they were in their final year... just imagine basing your prop rotation on players like that!

Wonder if there's another Forsyth currently under the radar like he was?

Anyway, I'm sure all will be revealed in a week or two. So long as we don't unveil some lame duck coach or a well known ex player with no qualifications or experience. Someone with some experience is vital.

Well done. Very good.

No definitive inside knowledge Gents. I just listen and look and comment on my own rambling thoughts. I have no definitive knowledge as fact and DO NOT claim to have any. Just putting in my two pen'orth for what it is worth.

Two questions:
1. Who is the best up and coming, and most travelled youngish, English Championship coach?
2. Which famous (Northern) photo am I trying to use as my profile, because I cannot shrink it to sufficiently low pixels. Help please?!!!
