  • Makes me wonder if the rumours around Brown were him moving into that role?

    • It's the role he had in 2024 and before no? Won't mind Brown returning there and we get a different assistant. 

      • Brown came in 2022 for an investigation and then Shepherd took over form 2023 I believe.

        • ah cheers.

          • I could be off on minor details. I know Brown did the investigation and found nepotism, that was 2022. Then he suggested the hiring of Jim Shepherd.

  • Well Shepard hasn't exactly set the world on fire since 2024.  We have zero outside backs pushing through and putting pressure on our already depleted first grade side.   Ill say Shepard hasn't been a success.   He's been here 3 years and thats more than.long enough to set up our systems.  Reserve grade is still a joke.   Although we have a few good forwards coming through flegg have also been failures 

  • Good - we need stronger systems in place here and some young hard heads coming through.

  • By the looks of his pic he loves to hit the piss. Honestly wow the bears got him lol. Laugh if you want but ryles should have the wok .. warren ryan hanging around very sharp and could help ryles

    • Ryles speaks to Warren regularly
