Well, it seems although the Club has had some good applicants aleady they're in no rush & if the perfect applicant doesn't appear, the money may be used to strengthen the squad. On what JK did when he was here, CC has saaid this. On a day-to-day basis he assisted me with Lee Gilmour and Stuart Dickens. Lee and John headed up the defensive side of it and me and Stu did the offensive stuff. It worked pretty well. We were all a little bit shocked at the start of the week as we were quite confident John was going to stay So as most of us thought at the time, Jk was involved in the defensive side of things and CC the attacking side with Glimour assisting Jk and Dickens CC. Hopefully, the likes of CC, Gilmour, and Dickens have managed to pick JK's brains enough while he was here that we see no downturn in our defensive structures.

OUR DEFENCE WAS a major key to our success last year, we can't afford any drop in that part of our game. In order to win games you need to prevent the opposition from scoring!

You also have to score more than the opposition too!

We do have Gilmour that fits that bill to some extent, although he moved into the pack. I generally agree though, I think finding a former good halfback/back who's now moved into Coaching and wants to continue his development at an SL club would be beneficial . Tbh though I've really racked my brain to think of a coach/ex SL players who's moved into Coaching that could do that job and it's hard. Most of the guys that come to mind are former Coaches that are out of work and I don't think that's what we're looking for.

Anyone got any names just to kick things off while there's not much to talk about and what you think they'd bring to what we already have?

What about Bobby Goulding ???

Garry Schofield may not be a bad shout. Although the bloke didn't quite do it as a head coach a specific job as a skills coach may be the right niche for him. Say what you like about him ( I don't mind him at all, there's no denying his passion) the bloke has been there and done it at the highest level.

You may be right but JK was defensive where as I suspect Schofields skills would be more attacking?

Morrison was a great defensive player so maybe he's worth a shout.

Paul Cooke would be a great coaching acquisition, he’s been outstanding at Doncaster and Leigh.
