Seeing as Dennis Lawrence left after the Wolves game it seems to have gone a bit quiet.

Could be key to shoring up that leaky backline.

Any murmurings @Saddlebrains?

Looks like it. Once again, England took an early lead and then were second best for the rest of the game. Amateurish, never gonna win s major tournament like this.

Apparently we might be adding more than 1 new coach (replace Lawrence) to the 1st team.

Easy start - just don’t use Eccles for corners - he was as good Gallagher last night

Really hoping they are far down the line with appointing a new defensive coach as preseason starts next week.

I think our defense is mostly there, maybe 1 other addition, so we need a coach in from the start to make sure they are all singing from the same hymn sheet.

Defensive Coach? Adi Viveash was a defender and reading interviews with him he implements drills in training that replicates what the opposition will do in the coming game?

I’m pretty relaxed about the fact the new coach or coaches are not yet on board. The first few weeks of pre season are all about fitness and conditioning and introducing the new boys to the squad ….. if we get to mid July and we are still waiting then I agree that’s not ideal.

Ultimately we are seeking to appoint them for a number of years so the critical aspect is their quality rather than whether they join us for day 1 of pre season.

Well you and I are obviously available! Oh hang on?

Employing someone is easy. Getting the right fit is more difficult.

You can either build infrastructure or you can throw it together.

I'm surprised that we haven't replaced Lawrence already.
