Amazing appointment for many reasons. Top level coach taking charge of a team on -12 points in the second tier of rugby in UK, with very few players, no time to train, whilst not forgetting their financial history.

It makes you wonder what has attracted him to take the position. £. Surely there is a slot in Aus possibly NSW league or similar.

This is the second greatest coaching appointment in the history of the Championship.

It will mean that in 2017 former Manly coach Geoffrey Toovey (Bradford) will be up against former Australia and Wests Tigers coach Timothy Sheens (Hull Kingston Rovers) in the fabulous English second division.
