Well that is strange, coz no one seems to have heard of him in London, he certainly did not figure for the first team (see Gillette Year Book). He has a name that we would remember! Maybe he wished he had played in London!

Yep exactly none of us have heard of Craig of gentle or others that are coming through as assistants, I like the sound of this coach and I'm pretty confident for next season, were making our fair share of signings with paea coming and I reckon another forward I think we will do ok

I agree think we've made a good choice but only time will tell.

Hull have also got a coach who looks like a good choice so next season will be interesting.

If both sets of fans were honest we really don't have a clue as to who will prove the better appointment how could we? Neither have ever been a head coach before so both step into new territory.

I will say though it is an exciting time for Rugby League in the city.

Pretty high risk strategy from both clubs but I guess that money is teh obstacle to bringing in an experienced overseas coach

I've followed Uate's career since he was 17.
The 2008 WC is when he started to come to a lot of people's notice, but even after those games he was not a regular firstgrader under Brian Smith.
He became a regular firstgrader from the first game when Stone took over as head coach with CS as an assistant, and both Stone and Uate credit CS with turning him into a regular firstgrader.
He has always been a massively talented athlete, but he was 23 before he became a regular in firstgrade because he learnt the finer points of the game very slowly and made very little progress under Brian Smith, who isn't the best at working with guys who aren't up to speed.

He is 23 now Roopy...perhaps you need to follow a little more closely....

The new coach wasn't your 1st choice then bazza?

TBH no preferences at all , i just hope that the best man has got the job, only time can tell us but he should be given every chance and nobody should be jumping on his back if things don't pan out straight away..especially given our "journeyman" recruitment strategy...

Is everything alright Bazza, one could almost construe that as positive?

Did you have much choice on recruitment though? When leeds are signing players like richard moore it tells you everything about the current state of the market
