Remember when Ellery was appointed the GB coach?

Who did he pick as his assistant?

Our very own Gary Hetherington.

Perhaps there's something in this rumour.

I hope so. I'd be much happier with EH than McDermott.

I'd be happy with him as coach.

Wouldn't be a "yes" man like Tony Smith and he certainly did well with St Helens.
