Only way to look at it.

Duffy could be a bit of a gamble but he is a good young coach who will be desperate to succeed and everyone knows how good a job he has done at Swinton.

One thing about former half backs coaching is the Fev attack should come to life.

And to improve on last year without adding a load of new players and with a part time team for me is down to how he has got the best out of them.

I think Mark Campbell and his bank balance would question that we didn't add a load of new players - Ulugia, Mariano, Moore, Walton, Knowles, and Carlile were all added this year and they're all players that plenty of other Championship clubs would have wanted.

Pity for you that HKR snapped up the halfback you would probably have got with Duffy.

If he had only paid the going rate for those players then I guess it might have been ok but as it stands with 1 game left Fev are the best part time team in the comp so other than that im not sure what Campbell is expecting. If Fev were to finish behind a Fax team on probably half their budget then its time to start asking questions......

Come Saturday evening we will all know how the new Fev coach has been initially accepted. Well done to Duffy on a makeshift budget for his work at Swinton. I really enjoyed watching their fluid attacking structures.

Ah right. If I'm honest I would sooner have had Grant Gore. But it looks like he's had a career ending injury

Ben White looked better against us.

I would expect the Fev team to really up the effort against Toulouse - I could hear Duffy sat at the back of the stand at Sale - he certainly wasn't coaching quietly and the players will only have one chance to make a first impression.

I think they can turn them over.
