Luke to his mates

[RogerT]

It's Louis Jouffret 's dad and ex CEO of Catalan Dragons.

[doggystyle]

Has something been deleted? Why are Phildog and Roger talking about Christophe Jouffret?

[RogerT]

On this page doggystyle, phildog talking about it , RPH reacted to it with an emoji and I answered by stating who Christophe is,

I was also confused as to whom Kevin was …. because if its KN then he needs more than passing note...he needs a direct PM or text/phone call….

Figures it's like the retirement home for Batley & Dewsbury OAP (Old Age Players)

Its about right though isn't it? Nobody goes on forever (insert obvious joke here).

[TC25]

I’ve seen a page saying we are likely to sign Ben white half back use to play for Halifax now plays for Barrow I don’t know how true this is 

[RogerT]

I will only add players to the list once the club and or Bissa confirm them.

Good move experienced head in karl and Craig batley through and through 

[Piggy's mate]

He should be given a chance and think it a good appointment. Craig is one of our own

[Piggy's mate]

Interesting that Karl H will also be involved

[Batley Bob]

I would also like brev and maunny as assistant managers and John Heaton as conditioner please  

[buford t justice]

I like the idea of Karl being there to help Craig develop in the role, its something Matt Diskin certainly needed so its great to see the club have learned from the gamble on Matt.

welcome home Craig, best of luck to both him and Karl.

[phildog]

That'll do me!. I know we've bandied names about but I would say that this has been on the cards since the turn of the year after Keighley babbed on him. The really interesting and valuable appointment is that of Karl, who we thought was well seated at Bulls but he clearly still has some pull towards us. Hope he has some pull for 9ne or two decent players. Just waiting now for CL to announce his coaching team. 

[Chris_T]

Good appointments, a mix of youth and experience and both know the club inside out.  I don't think we could have done better for knowledge of the part time game. Roll on the rebuilding and next season, well done to the board for moving quickly so that recruitment can start. 

[C Hemmins]

Good appointment now let's get behind them! Aiso the people who might have been staying away get yoursElf back

[Tony F]

How predictable. 

[9' oller]

I don't think we can gauge linners on his cougar exploit. It seemed they didn't treat him well and solvency woes hit all paid employees. He knows what he is up against with a mount job.

Is it a one year try out or another 3 yr gamble. 

Welcome craig.

Those who dont remember him off the field he is the polar opposite to diskin.
