6 years ago, he was stale at FC, anyway, KR board is the next one down......

Why would i want to go there? I was just questioning your statement that we never troubled the playoffs while BM was conditioning coach, which as you probably realise now is completly un-true. in fact as our league finishes show in recent years it is quite the opposite. I have no axe to grind either way, but also pointed out that the quality of the player is quite a major reason for success or failure.

More details on the appointments on the club's website:

Should we be looking forward to a big week next week, wolfie?





The new conditioning team seem to have experienced a lot of different environments at least with plenty of academic qualifications. Interesting that he's not into the flogging the team to death idea and is a bit more progressive than that. Would still have preferred an NRL conditioner, just for someone more proven at the top level in RL, but hopefully this will work out well. If nothing else, having a clearout pretty much across the backroom staff, could in itself provide some energy and impetus to the squad.

I hope that at least some of those who say they are "underwhelmed" by his appointment will read this and think perhaps he ought to be given at least one day with the players before they judge. It would appear that his CV is probably not that bad after all. Perhaps he needs to revisit his LinkedIn page.

"Being tired at the end of a session is not a yardstick anymore. We can't just flog them, we need to see every aspect of their performance improve. There must be a strong rationale behind every part of our training process, we'll work them hard and monitor their progress to know each and every player is getting better."



This comment in the Mail is something I welcome very much.

The days of them been flogged are long gone! - Sick of been plagued by pathetic injuries... Train them well and train them right!

"it simply isn’t acceptable anymore to have players running around a field.



“Being tired at the end of a session is not a yardstick anymore, we can’t just flog them."



Billy will be up in arms.

Is David Howes now writing the club's press-releases too now?



Devlin may prove a good appointment, who knows?



...but to describe him as "vastly experienced" is, quite frankly, an insult to the fans' intelligence!

Yea no more ten mile runs on Brantingham Hills! For no apparent reason! Silly old bugger!

I admit I was a bit underwhelmed after the Jennings rumour but its done now so I welcome them on board and really hope them every success.

I'm not in favour of husband and wife teams working as closely as this. Who's gonna get his tea ready
