Oh.

Not a bad choice. he has been the assistant with Wales so hopefully has the nouce. Also might have his eye on a few up and coming sheep and daffy lovers

He coached a team to a 76 point defeat the other week. GH has made a mockery of rhinos fans over last few weeks saying they were doing their homework and scouting the globe.



Good luck to Gibson, but i can not see how he would be a better appointment than the ex Bramley lad now coaching Fevs academy. More so how is he a better appointment than Adamson who many moaned about.

For a start he's done well assisting at international level and proved his worth with the u18's whilst Adamson has'nt been doing any coaching recently has he?

How does this make a mockery of Rhinos fans if the eventual candidate to get the job is someone the club know well enough already?

Whilst i would'nt of minded someone like the Bramley lad ,Stuart Wilkinson or Gary Thornton that's not to say that Gibson hasn't rightly got the job following teh recruitment process.

A few years ago no one would have thought of touching Sheridan or Powell but you'd have them in the fold again now wouldnt you? So Gibson might be a good bet. Instead of blaming them already lets give them a chance. We have a new fresh line up with new ideas, lets see what they can do

Heatherington goes on a scouting trip every year. He also stated before this one that it was mainly to have a look at 2012 and beyond. He did meet up with Dunneman and no doubt would have had chats about the future. Just because he failed to bring someone over this year doesn't mean to say it was a wasted journey.

So this means that if you search a certain site, you can find our ENTIRE COACHING STAFF discussing tactics during a 1997 semi-final.

Quality observation, were they all on the field at the same time?

They're all in the same frame. Lowes acting half, Brian Mc playing the ball, Gibson getting punched, and Barrie Mac next in.

Just wondered why if Barrie was on the field (he was a sub that day) someone didn't get seriously hurt.

Oh and ms, it's Damian not Damien. I once made the same mistake and it took me weeks to sort out.

I wonder how the Under 20's boss will feel working for a bloke that chinned him a few years ago?



Interesting appointment, if a little left field.
