Assume Williams is carrying on in his existing role?
so JK, Rowntree, Easter and Osborne gone, just Gustard and
Codling in on coaching front (I know we have the GM as well).
Hopefully fewer voices will be a good thing

The other key appointment (and David Morgan was already very
impressed with his impact at the Quinssa dinner) is Billy
Millard, whose job is effectively to allow Gustard to focus 100%
on getting the right team with the right coaching onto the pitch
on match day. That should free up a significant amount of
coaching time.
In some ways it's a shame that we didn't make that change a year
ago - JK was regularly referenced by coaches outside the club as
being a highly respected Head Coach and might have done a better
job without the off the pitch stuff to worry about. It reminds
me a bit of Andy Robinson - great as England Head Coach, dire
when given the additional responsibilities of selection, media,
club and RFU relations...

Well, give credit to the club (and possibly JK) for recognising
the problem and addressing it. Am trying not to get my hopes up
too much after the disappointment last year. On paper, we had a
really good team. On grass....

Seems good to me! I hope that we'll see some improved
performances and a better finish than last season.
I'm not going to pretend that I think we'll make top 4, even
though on paper we should be able to compete, but I hope 8th or
above, 6th would be nice if we get top 4 I'll be ecstatic!

JK did the review that brought about the break up of the DOR job
so we do have a lot to thank him for particularly if it works.w

I would imagine that the demotion of MM to Attack from HC will
save some money. I actually like the look of the set up now a
blend of experience and newish. Think that the ship will steady
this season and with a few new additions next think we’ll
compete again.

Interesting. Much leaner than previous seasons. 4 let go
including JK and only 2 brought in (and one of those is now an
admin role). It did always feel like we had too many cooks.
HARLEQUINS HEAD OF RUGBY PAUL GUSTARD HAS CONFIRMED HIS COACHING
TEAM AND ROLES FOR THE 2018/19 SEASON.
Alex Codling - Forwards Coach
Nick Evans - Skills and Off-the-Ball Coach
Adam Jones - Scrum Coach
Mark Mapletoft - Attack Coach
Commenting on his coaching team, Paul Gustard, who will also be
responsible for defence in particular, said: “We have a coaching
team with a balance of new expertise and experience who are
