Lee Greenwood gets the sack at Dewsbury.

If anyone can be bothered looking back through this thread they will see people were calling for him to be our next head coach.

Just goes to show the level of RL knowledge on here these days i guess

Yeah Lee Greenwood was highly favoured before Kear arrived after he did a good job at Gloucester All Golds (wow, how soon we forget they even existed)

It shows that you can be a good young coach, but if you don't get the resources to take a club forward, then you're screwed. Since we are obviously skint, it doesn't matter who the next coach with the Bulls is, really. We could get Kristian Woolf or Tony Smith, but if they aren't given the tools, resources and authority to really deliver, then they're bound to come up short

I’ve heard it’s Tom Tsang the former Coventry coach now head of Huddersfield’s academy. I called it earlier this one.

Not necessarily a bad move

Interesting.

If Dunning gets the results and the performances then why not him? I know he's relatively unknown but there's something to be said for giving him a go. I reeber way back in 89 when we had a perfectly good interim coaching team of Hobbs and Smales and we binned that and appointed aussie Ron Willey who was a disaster. Whoever it is needs to be absolutely the right man for the job. We can't afford another mistake.

When Kear was sacked I was absolutely against Dunning being given the job as I felt we needed things freshening up and it would just be a continuation of where we are at.

However he's convincing me so far. There are visible changes to the way we're playing. We're putting on some good attacking moves. Even Baldwinsons "barge over" try, it was him actually running at an angle back on the inside that created space for him to crash over. We're actually grubber kicking into the in-goal and forcing drop outs. He dropped the captain and even when he came back in, he was only in the bench. I know we've all be calling out Crossleys performances on here, but it's still easy to call for the captain to be dropped, but it's very different for the interim coach to make that call.

I know Widnes are in a state, but they were gash last year when we lost by a point and threw away a home play-off spot because we played so negatively of trying to hold on to a lead for 80 minutes. The culprit then walked straight back in the team for the remaining games.
As daft as it sounds, I think we could have still lost that game yesterday under Kear as when Widnes did score, the crowd lifted and they did improve. If we'd have just been a try ahead, we'd have got sucker punched like we have been multiple times. But because we'd actually attacked and built up a lead, as soon as we got that penalty it killed them off.

Sheffield is an acid test as they are a decent team this year. I'd still maybe prefer someone new and fresh to come in, but I'd certainly be ear marking Dunning for a couple years time.

How long has he been here for? He’s been assistant to Kear, Toovey, Rohan Smith, Lowes at least. Bastian & whoever preceded John Bastian on the youth side. A range of coaching styles there. This is his chance to put it all together as his own man.
