Gill got tries 1 and 4. Although James Chapman and Benny Kaye were still in charge, clearly JK had impressed his requirements on them and the players and the game followed the Kear pattern we are already used to. Watch the highlights, some keep telling me they're not convinced about our no1, but he dealt with every kick, even the one coming down with an ice spiral on it and watch the pass to put Gill in at the top corner....

White, always looked for the break and handled superbly today.
Brown, immense up front display, rolled a few years back today, probably the oldest man on the field and spent a good amount of time out there in the heat.
After much consideration of several names; Walshaw.
The whole back line in my opinion was very impressive, Gill threw everything at it, I don't think he knows how to play any other way, who ever he's playing for, Liu didn't get much ball but was impressive in the tackle. Both we could use for longer than a fortnight!

Neither High nor Myers played for Trinity.
-
So what did Render pick up at Bradford? Is Woods going to do it?
-
I hope that the new loanees are ready to put a shift in, some of the others have simply turned up. JK can run the rule and see who he thinks can do the job he wants or if he needs to look further.
-
We got our DR coach after all!!
-
Although Kev says he won't be immediately involved I think he should be in the dressing room and dugout on Sunday. For all we take the rise, Kev has done exactly the right thing, he's brought in the best motivator in the game.

Sn arm-wrestle KTF, as was his favourite phrase!!
-
A usually reliable source, fortunately wrong this time.
-
On the piece where Bateman came off, the lad sat down was Render, rumoured broken leg.
-
It depends what appetite he has left. Seeing as Trinity are our partners though ....we could get a DR coach!!
-
Well, Friday has passed, has it started yet? Adverts in trade press, phone calls in (or out) Chinese Whispers....watched the highlights of Eagles/ Don's this afternoon, commentator alluded to the rumour of JK coming back! What does he know?
-
Was High in their squad?
-
Why are there no DR's tonight I wonder....maybe not requested, assume Myers couldn't play anyway?

Your usual votes 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

Topic now closed.

So, we lose a couple of teams from Div1....or approach last season's ballot runner-up to Goole to come in.
-
As soon as David Ward was mentioned I thought of Danny!! Anybody know of any decent coaches doing nothing? It might need one of Kev's phone calls....hi....do you fancy coaching Batley? Steve McNamara doing nowt Kev!! An Aussie? ....
-
Did ok at Bulls, but somebody with good pull of players would be preferable. I had thought about Chris Thorman but he's gone to York as assistant as part of a 3 way York/ Newcastle/Oz tie up, Graham Steadman gone to Thunder as Director of Rugby and Coach. We don't want a continuation coach though, too near to players to give a good ollocking, needs a new face.
-
But who 9' oller? That means a SL player of around 30/32 stepping away from his well paid contract. I would go completely left field; McNamara given a 3 month job, has contacts to bring in say 3 players to do jobs. He's not short of a bob or two or he'd have already been back in a job somewhere, a little bit of work keeping his hand in before he gets back into a big job next season. Or we see if JK still has an appetite for coaching.

Ifyou're old enough Grinder you'll remember East and West with cross boundary games. A united division could easily work. The problem then comes in not protecting perennial bottom teams so maybe National Conference could become the next division.

Just read a TRL print out of Kev's comments; says the search will began after Friday for a few coach....
Sheffield Eagles (H)

Agree BullyXL, if you look back to JK's previous tenure it was an exact copy; stick with the plan, performance intensifies at the game goes on, strangle the opposition into submission then just take over. It worked on Sunday, Eagles were blowing by about 50 minutes their forwards didn't come after that, not as a pack anyway, just individual efforts.
