You don't need one. You're doing a top job at everything so far. Except maybe drafting Hargrave.

I can confirm that those images are entirely fabricated. 8)
Stoked to announce that Adamant will be staying on as an assistant! :))
Going to go and pick now. ~
Plenty of things ready to plaster on to that OP. >:D
I suspect I should have this revealed some time in the next few weeks but have some other design stuff and RL issues to take care of so no promises.
Watch this space though. ;)
Have started using this thread again. Will combine with Sid's when back on deck.
Press Release
The Newcastle Falcons have finally lodged their 2013 list. Some late trading has resulted in a substantially younger list than was originally drafted, giving the side a premiership window extending several years. Co-Coach Spinking was quoted as saying "Our goal this year is to play finals, and to get an extra year into our kids."
Sid has stood aside, so looks like I'm coaching the Falcons on my own now.
I'm interested in picking up some quality, high scoring depth - and am willing to trade young guns including Jack Martin, and any draft picks to get them.
Send offers my way.
