Given the high turnover in playing and coaching staff, I won't be expecting 5* performances from the team at the start of next season. There's a lot of familiarisation and getting everybody on the same page to be done.

Does the announcement of Kevin Sinfield (an arrival) mark the end of announcements of departures?

You expect so. Done all players, now done two staff, before annoucing one coming in.Cagey Tiger wrote: ↑Thu Jun 17, 2021 11:33 am Does the announcement of Kevin Sinfield (an arrival) mark the end of announcements of departures?
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Great coach...no real evidence so far, can't argue with the other statements
To win is not as important as playing with style!

Yes the proof is in he pudding. 4th meanest try defence and over 20 less tries conceded than last season. Good luck Mike!RagingBull wrote: ↑Thu Jun 17, 2021 11:23 am From Mike Ford POV
He came here with his reputation a bit battered IMO.
And is leaving IMO with it restored in some way.
I still think Craig was the most at fault for Baths problems.

Yes I was! But mostly as an attack coach,had that one diamond play that was ruthlessly found out by Sarries and had all the “toxic” baggage surrounding him with extra marital relations and the Burgess circus. Been a good servant,he deserves a chance at another big clubRagingBull wrote: ↑Thu Jun 17, 2021 11:41 amand you was one of his biggest detractors at the start!Scott1 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 17, 2021 11:37 amYes the proof is in he pudding. 4th meanest try defence and over 20 less tries conceded than last season.

given the feelings towards the Star wars sequels I'm feeling a move is in order to another world.

Harrison stays as Scrum coach
Smith is going to be an assistant coach in the senior side (doesn't say if he's the attack coach or not) that I can read (dyslexia may mean I missed it)

Yep it says
Harrison continuing his role as scrum coach
Whereas with Smith it only says assistant coach no mention of attack/backs.
Could potentially be a similar case to Deacon with the forwards?
