That’s Leon’s prerogative at the end of the day. However I think Jonty has plenty of experience himself, a good knowledge of local players and is Town through and through. The sort of person the club needs. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree but in Leons words "im new to coaching and i need to get someone in so that i can get advice from a very experienced coach" I like jonty and wish he could have stayed along side this experienced coach but maybe its funds or something but its answered some questions, because the conspiracy theories on here sometimes can be stupid! 1 Quote go **** yasell ya little **** gain NL1 then take ya **** out ya dads **** then speak proper rugby talk. you jameating little spotty ****...itchy waa waa 2008...

If that's the case fair enough, but the club should have kept Jonty in some capacity, he is the only guy that club had that is fully respected and trusted by the local amateur clubs and players. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
notasdaftasilook 212 Report post Posted June 15, 2018 Maybe Jonty didn’t want that? He was obviously miffed by the way he went on twitter immediately . The reaction from some of our players and ex players although understandable was unprofessional. As far as I can see this club or players haven’t commented on that debacle down the road but true to form they had a bit of fun over this. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gillmeister 780 Report post Posted June 15, 2018 I think between his role in the amateur game, cumbria storm and work at sellafield hes gotten to know alot of people Its a shame that hes left the club as hes a great coach and a great bloke but whats done is done, an assistant coach from a previous regime leaving isnt an alien concept. Hopefully whoever comes in will bring a fresh impetus to the team Quote Forget Chuck and Chad I am the real legend killer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carlisle1921 217 Report post Posted June 15, 2018 Is Craig McDowell not our assistant coach? I thought Jonty was just a coach alongside Gus, Butch and Johnno? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair mate, none of us know who does what behind the scenes and Leon certainly doesn’t seem to be the type to bring sentiment into his decisions. If the coach dosent think there was the experience there to support him then the call is the right one and hopefully his coach brings what is needed to push this stuttering season onto the next level 1 Quote the futures bright,the futures blue and white Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

notasdaftasilook 212 Report post Posted June 15, 2018 I believe the children are the future. As someone says very few know what goes on and quite frankly it’s not love island - we don’t need to. Everyone has an opinion and has heard something or other about everything. Key for me is that the current lot look like they’re avoiding situations like those down the road and have the ability to pay people through the books to play rather than get a freebie. I’m happy with that. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He’s strong minded , obviously knows what he wants , has high standards and expectations to no doubt , for himself so by definition for us . Instills discipline to . Couldn’t really fault him so far in a first year , he’s had a go , some work some don’t but that’s the game .
