About our new coach. Hope it's true. Had to edit this post. Sorry to Steve for any inconveinience caused.

Well? spit it out

Shearings Executive travel, has an onboard toilet!!!

Sworn to secrecy!

So why put it on here ?

Exactly

I actually had to edit my original post if you look closely as I was told not to say what i'd heard yet.

You know you're not always right, don't you?

Jon , have you heard the the term ' rumour mongering ' ?

It's like what kids do , like " I know something you don't " , " Nah nah na nah nah "

Chill jon , it's not serious , just that I tend to to think sometimes it's best to leave things alone and let the people at the club get on with what they need to do , we still have a couple of games to play this year under our existing RL coach , once they are out of the way , then away you go

As long as it's not PR I'll be happy. Even if it's DA...

Don't start me off

Did you just use the word 'chill'?

Come on Steve, you're too old for words like that!

Jonny, in your edited initial post you apologised to Steve, was that Menzies or McCormack

Paul Cullen.

even our board isnt that daft

Once I heard the news that IM was leaving us, I was disappointed that the inevitable had eventually happened and then I worried about the next process, i.e. appointing a replacement. IMO we do not have anybody at the club capable of making an appointment. Tell me what the current directors know about such an important job and who is a good candidate and who isnt. AT appointed IM, they had been friends for a long time and it didnt take long for Arthur to persuade Ian to return to coach the Centurions. Arthur has now left us, Rowley followed him and Ian is now on his way. We have a chief executive who works his cobblers off for the sport at both amateur and professional and will, as a former copper, know about crowd control and likely problems at Featherstone which I have noted he is investigating, but will not have sufficient knowledge or experience to go through the process of making a coaching appointment from advertising the post, drawing up a short list and then making the appointment. Also tell me which Director you could pass this important job to, or even as a unit. They havent got the capabilities or experience in my view to handle such an important appointment. I hope and prey that Ian will offer his expertese and experience to tell the Board what is needed and the correct procedure to follow. I have every faith in Ian, everything about the man is ideal and he will be sadly missed.

everythin'll be awreet me'n our Dave are doin it

top of the list of qualifications
He must like fast wingers and big props, owt else?

No nothing else.

You have convinced me that you are the right men to head up the selection process

What ' Qualifications do you suggest somebody needs to appoint a coach ' ?

Who appointed Darren Shaw, Paul Rowley, and Neil Kelly as head coaches ?

.. Or the inexperienced Kiwi U7's coach and proclaim him as the worlds best?

Or words to that affect.

As Starbug said somewhere previously, lets get the next 2 or 3 matches out the way before we speculate or worry. I personally believe that experience in being involved as an employer and in that particular field are "experiences" needed rather than qualifications in appointing a coach. I cannot work a sewing machine very well but I am more than capable and have evidence to prove that I am capable of employing one to work at the highest level.

Shaw , consortium

Rowley , AT I think

Kelly , AT

Thank you. Now these hardly challenged the worlds best lets say, so getting IM was kind of obvious one.. Even I could have made that decision.
