Lee Gilmour has joined Wakefield Trinity Wildcats on a 2-year deal as assistant-coach + could also play. Had been on loan from Cas Tigers.

Think Gilmour still has something to offer on the field, as his knee injury may prolong his career for another season.
Much the same as Ali's injury has been a blessing in disguise.
Probably would have signed a one year deal without picking up his injury.

A good signing- he's let no-one down while he's been with us, bags of experience to pass on and a handy card to have up the sleeve if required to play.

Wonder how he'll compare against Willie Poching, Chris Chester's new assistant at Hull KR?
Poching has more history with us and might have been a better fit. Coaches do seem to pick some strange and unpredictable assistants, although I suppose it's better than the old day's when it was just their best mate.

For me the question is
What qualifications have they got?

I'm not particularly aiming that at Poching and Gilmour.

Having been a player at whatever level and working under whatever number of coaches is OK but no where near enough.

In modern sports, Coaching at professional level is about so much more.

I'd be very surprised if anyone was allowed to coach at professional level without being qualified. Lots of players get themselves qualified whilst playing so they're ready to further their career when finished as a player.
