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....

Set up for a fall, hasn't had financial backing, I suppose we'll just hand on to James Chapman and leave him with the farce. As a contributor to it I don't see any new coach bounce. Cheers Mokko, a seriously nice guy, honest as the day is long and just as responsible for recent good times as Linners, wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a deal to be done there! Meanwhile who will want this, who's available with any pedigree and player pull to it round?

We don't want or need to know,Dog Bawls? I certainly think we do need to know if supporters are to continue contributing. We were promised a Q&A meeting months ago which didn't materialise, all we've had is the continuation of the Secret Society.

The 'academy fodder' will be walking away; Hepworth, despite great performances, was overlooked when we had no second row so walked away. Parsons and Dean good enough to earn places, again being overlooked, along with Atkinson will soon follow unless they've signed new contracts. Players, alledgedly, unless playing are no longer being paid,Trinity haven't set our team alight with capable DR's, the fact that Shaw went to Hunslet shows how attractive we are. There are many who have reached the end of there abilities if not their hearts, just bring in more 'academy fodder' and set 'emnon their way.I'll be there for reunion day then that's it. Championship 1 is a long, lonely, way away, there is now no foreseeable future with the current set up, board downward, we need a buyout and funds. If, as we are often told, we owe nobody then it must be a proposition to someone, advertise it down under, up and over, do something.

Trinity forum seems to suggest Hunslet. Just watch he'll play out of his skin.
