ALLEN JOINS COVENTRY

[Dangerous4]

It has been announced that Anthony Allen has joined Coventry as a coach.

Best wishes to him.

I think that's a sound more and will allow him to develop as a coach gaining experience outside of Tigers at a level where he can do so that is suited to his experience.

He always struck me as a smart guy who could well coach at the very top level in the future.

I am sorry to see him go. I have known him for years and he is without doubt a great chap.
I can never forget the time he was knocked out against Bath and a fight kicked off .
He was stretchered off, much to the distress of all.
That he retired too early as a player is cause for great regret as he marshalled the back line with
a considerable rugby brain.
This seems the right time for him to try his arm at coaching away from Tigers for which I wish him the best of luck.

I don't think we've managed to replace him in the team yet either, Toomua for a season maybe. Shows how important he was.
