Positive words from Rochdale there.
Any word on how Matt Calland is doing with the youth development?

I knew he was no longer with us. I didn't realise he died so young.

extends into the amatuer ranks...great fun being smashed by a Figian in NWC Div 6 when they'd been in the Fiji World Cup training squad a year before!

Well, he's not been there very long, but as he has coaching links to Hopwood Hall College and England Students, he's pretty well placed.
