coaching?

how to kick direct to the fullback?

how to do the same old drop off inside?

does he coach at junior level?

even the under 7s have worked out his show and go now

Horne will NOT be a first choice player next season

That's ok with me but I still think he would be a useful squad member, until his contract expires.

or a coaching spot either, what can he teach ?? does he have qualifications???
No no no it just keeps the old boy routine going round in circles
bring in new blood which in turn brings new ideas.... the old ideas from old players clearly dont work as we see week in week out

Having a go at Radford are we.

Re: Rumours Ad Infinitum : Fri Jun 29, 2012 4:17 pm  

As Bradford are most likely going under, what about Sammut as a fullback? His weakness is his defense but at fullback he won't be making many tackles per game. It would also allow him to play to his strengths, namely his running game. He could do well there, linking into the attacks.
It's a position that he played during his time in the NRL, I think.

Obviously we'd also have to sign another halfback but Pearson has already said that they're looking to sign up another half and prop.
I wouldn't want Sammut in the halves.

to be honest yes it does include Radford, may well be a great coach and well respected but we need new blood and new ideas from outside the black and white spectrum..... and if I was to be honest radford didnt inspire me as a player so will not as a coach either...
wonder why he wasnt the one out of the assistants chosen to go on the coaching fact finding mission trip to Oz i dont know the guy but i know as long as my plumbs hang south he will never be a top flight coach

Pulling out of a deal for McDonnell might well mean that the club have secured the services of a new half back and Richard Horne will be 1st choice full back

Well, all we can do is hope you're wrong.

Radford's done well in all of his previous coaching positions.
You say that we need new ideas from 'outside the black and white spectrum'.....what the hell are Gentle and Hay bringing then?
Not every assistant in the league was chosen to go over to Oz. Andy Hay, another coach at FC, was selected to go but don't let that get in the way of you having a moan. As Hay is 'above' Radford in terms of our coaching we should be pleased that he's been selected to go.


Radford may not make a top flight coach but, then again, he might. He hasn't had enough of a chance yet - this is his first season in a top flight coaching set up - and so surely can't have done anything that warrants you writing him off already.

We'll get both.horne will be a back up player next year(if he's still playing)

Any idea on who the new full back is . Heard were not getting McDonnell now so does that mean Kearney ? Prefer McDonnell if it's a choice out the 2 .
