signed for batley bullbogs on bbc sport... more to come as the its only a headline going across the screen at the top.

......and apparently in talks with Keith Senior for player/assistant coach

Seen it on twitter. . . How can they afford Kear

I don't know why people are so suprised, we have and have head for years, a superb competition that even with little recognition it gets, consistently servers up a better spectacle than the Glitzy sooper dooper all is needed by the RFL league.

Easy. He's on exactly the same money as Karl Harrison was. As for the Senior rumour, I'd be absolutely amazed if there was any truth whatsoever in it. However, I've been told that Kyle Briggs is coming on board.

Suits Kear down to the ground. Has openly stated that he didn't want a full-time role after he left Wakefield. He wants to cut down on his work load and do a bit of media work.

He must be on less than he was, suppose he couldn't refuse what batley offered because he didn't have a job

The championship is a grave yard for Super League British coaches.



Its a shame that Darryl Powell, Karl Harrison, John Kear maybe Brian Noble will never get the chance to coach a super league team again. You could also include hangers-on Dennis Betts and Paul Cullen in that pot.

Millward has left the Championship to coach SDL , not that much of a grave yard.

Millward's not British
