I'm rooting for Greenwood, and a completely fresh start from the last few years of turmoil, and to avoid harking back to a past era.

Neither Sharp or Anderson are good choices to take us forward.

I'd like to see Greenwood given his chance. I think a young coach wanting to progress in the game would be a better choice than some older coach who has coached at a higher level

I have no idea where the T&A got the story from.

Well Matthew Shaw was adamantly saying that the deal was done on Twitter, backing up his earlier story on Total RL

I'd say 'lazy journalism' by the T&A. But given they don't employ an actually Bulls correspondent anymore this is going to happen...

That's exactly where the T&A got it from. It was Shaw that first "reported" it. The T&A just recycle everyone else's stories and if there isn't anything to recycle, try and make something out of a player's recent tweets (see Joe Keyes injury story from last weekend). They're far from a reliable source.

Matthew Shaw actually tweeted to say that he'd had it confirmed that Sharp had the job. So somebody somewhere is telling porkies.

Can’t workout if you’re trying to judge reaction before employing him or... so you can say “told you so” once you employed him??

Can we really afford to “give someone a chance” for the season ahead?? Given the strong likelihood of structure change in the next couple of years, I don’t think we can afford not to gain promotion back into championship at first time of asking.

For me it has to be a proven coach this time round and someone that’s not going to stand for continuous lacklustre performances(I accept there will be the odd couple as with any team)

To be fair Greenwood is a proven coach in this league. Did wonders at Gloucester.

We are going unbeaten next season so shouldn't be a problem

Oh of course... I forgot the owners have stupidly tagged us with that line! Much like talking about having a party when we hit “zero” points!! Idiots

If we go unbeaten... I will do the Odsal nudey run! Not that anyone wants to see that
