Doubt it be a promotion. I feel nervous at this announcement. Its such a big appointment for the club I don't want to be left disappointed.

Given recent tweets, it seems most likely to be the announcement of the new coach. However, a new scrum half as well would be a most welcome double whammy

Maybe it's asking which members can play scrum half?!

Seems like an odd time to make an announcement......unless......a club over in Australia is about to announce a departure from their coaching staff? In which case the difference in time zones explains everything.

Hmmm.

Rohan Smith 3 year deal.

Excellent news. I have a good feeling about this appointment. Wonder when he will be landing in this country?

Get in!!! 3 year deal too

Funny way to spell Matt Elliott. Sure red bull is on phone to club to sort it

.

Seriously though, pleased with that appointment. May not have experience as a head coach like Morrison or naylor but think being assistant at Nrl clubs is a higher level and should bring a fresh approach and ideas.

Excellent! I've got a good vibe about this. Needed someone not previously connected with the club for a fresh start. Last time we took this route it worked out ok with his dad, won't be an instant fix but a good start. Any new coach is a gamble but this seems one worth taking. Well done Mr green.

I also have a good vibe about this. I am unnerved by the goodness of my vibe about someone I really know very little about.

It's not even slightly the Smith connection. There's just something about his background and the path he's taken that smells right.

I've set an alarm in my calendar for a year from now so I can come back and call us all nobheads.

Ross has tweeted naylor, adamson and morro did apply but cartwright did not. Waiting on visa but should be here within 2 weeks, diskin in charge till then.

Hardly a poisoned chalise just yet then.

Matty Elliott was definitely in line for the role but it obviously didn't work out in the end and he has kicked it sideways to young Smith. I was a site closer than anyone else, who were all praying for Glen Morrison
Dare to dream!!

It's fine to post rumours and stuff on here, it adds to the discussions. But next time maybe just cover your ass a little bit and don't be quite so blind to the possibility that your info might be a bit wide of the mark!

Explain how specifying it was Matthew Elliott and getting it wrong, makes you closer than anyone else... I'm confused?? You didn't say Rohan Smith so therefore you are equally wrong with everyone who said anyone else's name but Rohan.

Anyway... Like others have said, there seems like a good feeling about this one! Tell will tell.

Fair point but it's not so wide off the mark. Ross from the T&A has mentioned elliott recommending him. Why would elliott of been involved at all if he didn't officially apply?!?! Because we approached him.

And if that happened, it was immediately pointed out to the enquirer that he has three media jobs which all pay more than head coach of the Bulls does and he's running his own business. Hence why nobody believed it for even half a second.

Also a fair point but he has said before on the record that he would like to return to coaching at some point.

Anyway I'm actually very pleased with the appointment.
He'll definitely have some useful contacts back in aus in the likes of his old man and matty.

Thanks for steering it back on topic, I've no interest in how right or wrong you were!

So what a blinding bit of insight I got eh



Great appointment

It was always Smith from the start, blew Green away on Skype two weeks ago apparently - my source was on the call and was staggered by his knowledge, ideas and how he wants to play rugby

Redbull, how can you state everyone else was wide of the mark when I told this forum over a week ago who our new coach would be and is?

Poor effort at reflection



Let's not argue and get behind our new bright young coach

Oh, I am quite excited. It's been a while since anything Bulls related has raised a glimmer of excitement.

I wonder what radical ideas he will bring? I bet he is one of these visionaries with lots of harebrained schemes, like a scrum half or other such nonsense...

And it will all be your fault if Rohan doesn't live up to our expectations!

Frank should be given freedom of the forum as he actually called this way before anyone else.
