Strong rumour that Steve has quit Gateshead and will be unvealed as the Barra coach in the not to distant future. Shame for Gateshead but they're in a mess. http://forums.rlfans.com/viewtopic.php?t=434565

I'd have thought that him quitting as coach (if he has) would only strengthen Gateshead's bid.

Makes our case a whole lot stronger if he goes to Barrow.

Nah, seems a nice fella but you only had to look at Sherlock's blog in the world cup to see there wasnt much training being done.

Makes sense in someways... as a nice guy Steve McCormack always struck me as being someone who could easily be manipulated whether that was from the players or the man holding the reins. You only need to look at the bizarre set-up we had coming into the season this year.

I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't sworn in and made to take the oath of allegiance to His Royal Majesty Des Johnston in the near future!

Correctimundo!!!!

I hope they get McChoker then all we need to do is camp down the middle of the field and hey presto, he would suit whitehaven again but cant see Stokes leaving as hes done a great job.

Still wont forget the P.rick gritting his teeth and punching the air to the widnes fans when Gateshead beat us up there.
