Smith? He'd have to be either insane or a fool. Evidence of either is lacking IMO.

Agar's part of their succession plan though, has to happen sooner or later.

Wonder if the fickle cas fans are running around town with pitch forks like some of ours do day after defeat? Not many on here chanting for Powell in today.

To be fair, he's got some goodwill in the bank. His club has had fewer resources than ours, constantly lost good players and still turned in better rugby.

I believe it's because him & Orr was pivotal players & have a good balance of them positions in his squad, I want us to have an assistant with that experience.

There are no fickle fans as you call them just fans that are fed up and disappointed with the continued turmoil we have found ourselves in over the last 2.5 years.
Not everyone can be the eternal optimist like you and a few others.

And as for an experienced assistant why?
Are you supposed to have an experienced head coach that an assistant learns from not the other way round.

I'm not always upbeat that last night was terrible, but 2 points are all that matters, then consistency/entertaining RL hopefully will come, Cunningham/long, Powell/Orr do ok most of the time.

He meant with half-back/pivot experience. Radford knows all about being a forward but nothing about being a half/pivot.

Maybe that's why Pearson wanted Cooke at the club?
I know Horney is involved at some level, but he wasn't the organising/scheming type of half back that often make good coaches.

Im taking from that, you know something we dont. Should we expect an announcement shortly? Cooke to assist radford
