There's an article in this weeks League Express which links Graham Steadman with a move back to us as our defensive coach.

We have the worst defence in the league (except for Salford and Celtic)

I think that speaks for itself

True but i wouldnt mind betting that we leapfrog a few sides in that department in the last round.

Although i dont think we will lose to Celtic, i wouldn't write it off as being a walk over

What worries me most about Matterson is the way he bangs on about defence being the key and how we work on this the most, yet when you look at the tonking we got off Leeds and then our 3rd worst defence in the league it doesn't make for good reading

I for one would not like to see Steady back at Cas, he ruined a lot of good work by Raper and also ruined his own reputation in the process. I wouldn't like to think he had a hand in anything that the team does in the future

I think he will have moved on a bit since then, and think he as a lot to offer as a back up coach. as a player he had a good kicking game and could play a bit too.

The problem with Steady appeared to be recruitment/management of players rather than coaching. I always thought that if he was presented with a squad he would work it effectively eg the hammering his unfancied Yorkshire team gave Lancashire at Odsal some years back.
Anyway we hardly seem to have one of the strongest backrooms in SL so an extra bit of experienced support for TM wouldn't hurt.
