I don't think Navarette is fit to lace Bowden's boots, and although Amor's ok - he's only average. I agree with you about Sao and Satae, the odds are that one of them will flourish, and one will disappoint. I personally much prefer younger fringe NRL players to veteran first teamers though.

I meant as back up, no probs with Josh.

Back up should be the likes of Masi and Brown, it's a salary cap sport, that's what Leeds and Saints do, look at the Wigan youngsters who have been given a chance recently.

I agree if they are good enough, the point was regarding an opinion we are a quality prop short, which we are.

Too hard to say, if Bowden gets his form back and Sao looks as good as he has from the few games I've seen him, then Taylor, Bowden, Sao and Satae are good enough for a team wanting to challenge IMO. All if and buts I know.


Good to see the club close to appointing two new coaches, if these are the right people these could be our best signing for next season.

where have you read that?

I hope you are right Dave, we want the best for our side.

You may be right about the coaching changes, new innovation in our style is required, it won’t be easy, but with more bite in our pack, and options in the backs, Radders has to deliver again.

So long as they are decent quality coaches and not done on the cheap. Good to see our strength and conditioning coach has moved on as we looked pretty unfit last year imo

I’ll be surprised if either are of any proven quality. Having to bring in an attack and defence coach says it all, like Dave says, could be the best signings yet! Just need a motivation coach now and pipe and slippers for Radders

hopefully the club will announce something soon

Cough ,Cookey, Cough.

I have a healthy distrust of HDM "journalism", am pretty sure they get their stories from here!

I guess you didn't read the full article.

Yes, every word, my post was in jest.

Amen brother

Taking his leaving FC to one side, what has he done as a coach to convince us he could help FC now? (genuine question, i've only seen him at away games, no idea of/where he is coaching)

My post was also in jest.
On a serious note,like you I don't know enough of his coaching history to form an opinion of his suitable ability.

As the club haven't announced anything, and reading heavily between the lines, at least one of the new coaches is likely involved with one of the playoff sides, but that is wild speculation.

I know of one former player (non-local) who was showing interest in joining the coaching team. Whether he actually applied, I'm not sure.

Without digging for a name, would you be happy if said former player joined the coaching team?

Leon price possibly, seemed to be good for moral around the place. We do seem to be lacking in team bonding, Pritchard and price seemed to give us that
