Sorry to see him leave York.

Interesting move, was always going to leave York for a Super League job - Welcome back 'spuggy' !!

Indeed welcome back. Great guy, great player.

will he be coaching the full backs or stand offs though

indeed, coz he's stuck in the 'non promotion league' WELL DONE THE RFL !!!

Great news, I think!

I'm happy with this, he was great for us and helped us move up a level, great leader and glad to see him back in a coaching role!

this is a good move... a team leader and always tried his best when playing at the giants.



so does this mean no purtill??

Think this is a progressive good appointment.



Liked his attitude and work rate - will be a good role model too - and a good link between pa and players.

Bit unsure on this really. Good player, and still in the making of being a coach. Only thing that concerns me is experience. Anderson stepping up to a new role, thorman stepping up to a new role in higher league. He knows the club but can thorman + anderson take us to the next level?!

Paul Anderson has years of knowledge being a player I think it was 17 years as a pro??? Added to which he has served along learning curve with Nathan Brown. Anderson in my opinion will be up to the job.

We've not had many at the club as good a leader on the field as chris thorman. Its an area we have been sadly lacking this season. If the only thing chris brings is that experience as captain and passes it on its enough for me!
