dkw Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 (edited) This forum is saintly and good compared to the cesspit of social media, some of the things written about and at Cornwall RL is embarrassing for the sport, and makes a mockery of our claim to be all inclusive and friendly.

ChristianB Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I completely understand why there may be impatience in some quarters. But, seriously, just hold on for details soon (I simply do not know when that will be, less so even allude to who or what.) 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Father has told me of when Fulham RLFC started there was no player signatures announced, other than Reg Bowden, they nicked about half the Widnes side, and trained up north, and only went to London on match days, he asks, was Ian Van Bellen the only Londoner? That was 41 years ago. 1980. There is still animosity in the League fans ranks against them, so we shall slowly build. Nothing new in RL.

I look forward to various people on this forum belittling the appointment, even if it’s Trent Robinson. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian van Bellen was a Yorkshireman from Huddersfield who we signed from Bradford Northern as they were then. Out of the initial 17 players signed, 5 were from Widnes.

Scubby Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Very good appointment. Kelly temporarily came out of a school job to help out Dewsbury a little while ago and showed that he still has that ability to get a team playing. Best of luck Neil. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done Cornwall It seems a good appointment for this level. He will have a lot of contacts and will know what's expected. I'm certainly glad they haven't gone for a Noble or another big name for the sake of it. He doesn't seem to have been in RL for years though so it will be interesting to see how it all turns out. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took over as caretaker coach at Dewsbury no so long ago and lifted them out of the mire IIRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelic Cynic Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Looks like a very shrewd appointment to me bearing in mind his experience of coaching in the other code which may be vital if skills are to be transferred to local Cornish athletes. It should prevent the ignominy heaped on former head coaches at West Wales Raiders where the job was either too big,or it was too soon for them. https://mobile.twitter.com/WWRaidersRL/status/1452599847626870784 It may be safe to look towards travel and accommodation, now. Good wishes to Cornwall.That's a very interesting start. 5 No reserves,but resilience,persistence and determination are omnipotent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulwalker71 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Yeah, I think this looks like a sensible and clever appointment It's good that they didn't go for a so-called 'big' appointment who would know nothing about RL at that level. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
