Mick Potter still believes that most Players in a Squad should be able to do other positions, mainly as a back up due to injuries either on the field or ones that come to light later in the week! also occaisionally I would think, that thanks to Maguires success with Inglis, that all Coachs will...

I like this supposed true story from Gallipoli Group of Diggers were waiting in a holding area not far from the front line, when a British Colonel and his Subaltern appeared riding their Camels, as they came through the men parted and as they passed by there the usual low mutterings etc, just...

Rothfield is a typical lazy Hack, the 3 new Coachs are all putting their respective Squad Players through the Mill, its a given when a Club has had a poor season and the Coach is replaced, the Players know that pre season will be a little tougher than usual, but if a Hack asked the majority of...

Its going to be interesting, both Mick and Symmonds Coached at Saints, and that Clubs philosophy was to attack but also had a fluid scrambling defence , when it worked it was great spectacle to watch as long as it wasn't your Team on the receiving end. Mick didn't try to change it too much...

That reminds me of Ellery Hanleys quote when he was St Helens Coach just after they had lost a game. "They didn't use the Space!…......The Space between their ears!" :slight_smile: He wasn't there much longer after that! Mick expects all Players to use common sense and their RL nous when on the...

I reckon all the Tiger Fans should have a modicum of optimism in Mick & the Squad for the coming season. The Roster says on paper you have a capable top 8 Team. Mick has already intimated that he feels the Tigers should be in the Play Offs, but it is tempered by his time at Bradford in which the...

In the UK some of the SL Coachs like to take players for 1 week of warm weather training in January usually somewhere like Lanzarotte. Will Mick decide that the Squad need some cold weather preparation and take them to the Artic to say hello to the penquins? :wink:

Its not Ron & Ron http://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/nrl/daniel-anderson-appointed-as-nrl-referees-boss/story-e6frep5x-1226515282295

I suspect that Mick asking Benji is like a two edged sword, on the one side are you good enough for that position and does it benefit the Team or are you saying the position is just good for you?? Where players end up playing will be a game of musical chairs while the Coach decides who plays...

Thats all you will get at present from the UK http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/20180141

Shaun is coming over to work in the mines and play as a semi pro, its been arranged by a certain Frank Endacott now his agent/manager! If Mick was going for him because of his Bradford connection he may as well have gone for Dimitri Pelo because of his Catalans connection. Pelo's defence is no...

You may also find that Mick likes Players to be able to play in 2 or 3 different positions, to cover for unexpected injuries on the field or a lot of injuries that pile up sometimes! So you will probably see some interesting line ups pre and early season, some seem obvious others not so!

It also says to the Playing Squad that if he is prepared to do it because it is important so should they!

Bradford have one of the best training facilities in the UK, that was built during Steve McNamara's tenure and the Club have taken the sports science on board, so it was in place when Mick joined, it's no surprise he wishes the Tigers to invest in it as there are benefits, although the Bulls...

The Super League Fans in the UK will let you have D o R Stuart Cummings for free :wink:

I wouldn't worry about the Squad lacking fitness at the end of pre-season. Mick is an extremely fit guy and I think the Players will either be shocked or pleasantly surprised by his level of fitness. He will already be aware of where the Squad is as far as levels fitness, preparation and also...

Really pleased for Mick and that will go for the Bradford Bulls Fans, The Squad will get a Coach who is strict on discipline on and off the Field, a good tactician and someone who is willing to try different things , but they also get someone who cares and will look out for them when times are...

SMH seem certain http://m.smh.com.au/rugby-league/league-news/polished-professional-potter-to-take-reins-from-sheens-20121023-283jk.html

This word Kridditch is this an Aussie version of the original Quidditch??

As a Bradford Bulls fan, while sad Mick left the Club after bringing it through a tumultuous period of administration by being the focal pivot for the Players. Volunteer Staff and the Fans. The Tigers Board would certainly be getting a man who is a tough non compromising and very good Technical...
