Had a beer with a mate last night who is also well connected at Glaws board level. Word on the street is a big clear out of backroomers (coaches, trainers, med staff etc) is on the cards. Only people deemed safe it would seem is Brainer at the top and the kit man at the bottom! Office admin hangers-on at CG also in firing line apparently. Seems opinion at the top is that coming months is best time to clear out deadwood from bottom up. What this space....

I am aware of one backroom incomer for next season, but this is from a while ago.

New head of strength and conditioning announcedtoday , comes from Exeter

So does that confirm that Barney Allen is leaving?

Yeah Anson - our old academy boss. I presume this means barney is either just staff or going - shame never had a beef with the way barney went about his work - players were lathargic end of this season but was this conditioning or all the mind games?

Though Anson seems to be a very good call

From thisisgloucestershire

So now we need:

DoR
Head Coach
Forwards Coach
Backs Coach

Defence coach

Attack coach

52 seater?

may be big enough for next seasons's ST holders at this rate

I hear 1 possibly two ex academy stallwarts will also return to oversee the aforesaid academy

also a coach who can coach kick offs and returns!!!!!!

and line outs and scrum halves................... how many coaches?????

Forgot, a coach who can tell them the rules of the game , like binding in the front and releasing the tackled player( just 2 common ones) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Half a dozen more players also!.....surely there must be more players to come in!?!.....we have nowhere near enough quality in the squad for next season.

If some of you had your way we'd have more coaches than Castleways. As I said in another post a new lock would be handy, other than that we're fine.

If you can find fifty to one about us winning the championship next season, I advise a small investment.

Short of quality props as well ...
