Meet the Coaches Part 2 2014/15

Ffidel Bennett wrote: Could Frizzell play on the wing or 15 - that is, is he fast/ skilful enough? because that's the only position we might argue that we sometimes need. Am I also the only one who thought Finau was a poor player, initially using his power to brush opponents out of the way, but as opposition players got to know him he became less and less successful. And his lack of pace a real liability on a par with his straight arm tackling.

not sure about him as a wing/15, doubt he has any sort of kicking game, ever been tested under a high ball or ever played there before no doubt he could give it a whirl.

He is clearly a talented guy, aussie schools rugby union player (centre), top class RL player possibly someone the ashtrays or the blues could go after.

They need a centre more than us

We've got backs coaches coming out of our ears, but if Pivac is doing so many other things and Phil John is only a scrumaging coach then maybe it's a full time forwards coach that would be the best value for money.

So to summarise:

We've had a Rebels prop training with us
We've started recruitment earlier this season
Barclay had a role in DTH recruitment
A new conditioning coach has joined
No further recruitment at outside half
Delve is too expensive
Emyr is available for Edinburgh

Any more info much appreciated!!

He has been very impressed with Lewis Rawlins and couldn't praise him enough. He reckons Jack Payne, Wyn Jones and Ryan Ellias are really going to be players to keep an eye out for. He really wants players fighting for their positions..

He didn't mention his name. Could be a youngster. He gave that out there for us nutters on here to try and work out who he is. He has real.dry wit and was as open and candid as he could be.

In a general sense he was as open and candid as he could be. For obvious reasons some things could not be divulged. Both him and Hayward came over really well they both seem.to be singing of the same hymn sheet. They seem to get on really well together

Simon struggled with the 'public face ' of the job and plainly didnt enjoy it naturally and Pivac has got a strong presence and confidence. Lets hope for a big run in to 5-6 spot. Finding the odd WQ overseas is also excellent stuff. Mind you look at Tomas ? at Exeter -another possible gem. They are still out there-sending Gareth out to Patagonia searching  for few massive Welsh qualified South American style forwards next I hope?
