Quote Trojan Horse="Trojan Horse"I hope so.
For a new coach debut season to have lost a number of stars (TJ, Fifita, Orona, Miller, Tupou) and be last to the party for recruitment he almost got the job done but for some close losses or a slip up vs Cas.
Looking at the longer picture. He probably learnt a lot about himself and being a coach. Learning under Powell for a few years would place him more ready and likely in a better position to sssist as an assistant.
I do think some continuity is needed and Mash has knowledge of players and the club from scholarship to first team. I’d be fine with it.'"
What purpose does keeping him serve?
Darryl Powell will be well aware of Applegarths duplicity and his role in removing Willie Poching. Any Coach in any sport doesn’t want an assistant who will act behind his back to undermine you.
Even if he does stay as assistant, what are we going to do, offer him the Head Coaches job in a couple of years because after his shocking performances and poor delivery of the last season I for one wouldn’t want to see him as Head Coach again
You speak of continuity, well what is it that you saw this last season that you want a continuance of?
