I felt sad for Franny when he went, though I fully understand the reasons behind it. When it came down to it, when we needed people to stand up, he was one of the blokes who stood up, so good luck to the bloke, I hope he keeps the faith, does well and moves back to a higher level.

I felt bad for the guy as the situation we were in when he took over was not of his making. He was behind the 8 ball from day 1 and did his best. It's just his best wasn't good enough for what the situation demanded

A really decent bloke who will forever have my respect for staying without pay. Sadly what we ultimately needed wasn't a nice bloke it was a bit of a git. And in lowes I'd say that's what we have now.

His problem was he had ideas that he was a far better coach than he actually was.

Sounds a bit like another ex-Bulls coach... The one given virtually endless chances by Bradford and England without ever delivering results of significance.

Trust me, the results were significant.

No idea who you could be talking about.
