He's not travelling over the hill daily then. I expect him to be Rhinos coach after impressing at Cas!

Blackmore arrived in Manchester airport at lunchtime today - A club official picked him up. He may make a 'surprise' appearance at the Fans Forum tomorrow night

he has just been seen at LSV in reception

Spot the Blackmore competition. Where will he show up next? It's a pity Bernie has moved out of the area, I'm sure the stalker would tell us his every move!.

I wouldn't know what he looked like tbh.

Just had a pint of blonde witch with him in Tommy Burke.

in there then Leyther till death.

Knowing LTD I'm surprised it was only 1 pint

And he's on his backside by the time he's halfway through his second one

You know him too well Matt!

Got to be fair and give him credit for managing to navigate not only the 1.2 miles from the Melting Pot to our hotel in Toulouse while on his tod and bladdered, but also managing to lock me out of our room

heard ritchie blackmore will be at the fans forum tonight.

Along with other unqualified coaches !

So no qualified coaches want to coach us...but good on Ritchie for going to the fans forum in what must be a really strange situation

Leigh are being coached by one of the most highly qualified coaches in the RL, Paul Rowley has a level 3 coaching certificate together with Neil Jukes's level 2 (studying level 3 at the moment), the 'new guy' if he is appointed will either take the title General Manager with duties more than team one's and will work towards the level 3, that will be either of the antipodeans or the 3rd guy who is already based in this country.

Seems good to me.

It really is a ridiculous situation that you have to attain a ' badge ' to say you are capable of coaching at pro level , and that this applies to players who have spent years competing at the highest level of the sport

Well said

Folk are so bl**dy negative at times and one would think Dave Woods's agent was on here.

So are the aussie and the new zelander only over here to visit family and to watch the 4 nations and leighs actual new coach is paul rowley?

What concerned me a little was Keith Freer making it very obvious that of a field of three coaches they only really wanted two of them. Now if the nightmare scenario comes true and neither get a visa, we will have a coach who knows that the club don't really want him and will probably replace him when someone better comes along. What kind of job is he going to do?

Tact, diplomacy and winning hearts and minds has never been a strong point at Leigh.
I'm sure Trevor sees it as very much a work in progress....along with the gazillion other things that need doing.

But they're the best people we have - so why not cut them some slack now and again.

We lack in the forwards so sign Blackmore as a player he's a monster
