Can anyone confirm if that's a surprise / concern ?

Can anyone confirm if that's a surprise / concern ?

or where he's gone to?

Makes sense, especially short term as the U18 move up with Wilkinson. Also explains the appointment of Reiss.

 

[TonyM]

Pity. I loved having a Corkman there. Best of luck to BBM in his future career (once he stays away from the usual horrid scumbag clubs).

 

[oldius]

Good luck to him. Wilkinson shows real potential so his promotion makes sense.

 

[Mike N]

Surprised by this, I quite liked BBM and he seemed like a good bloke. Hope he’s got a job lined up.

 

[Asa's left peg]

He can't be going over the road, can't he?

 

[blue whippet]

It always seems a bit odd when an announcement is made like this when there is no mention of where he is going. It makes you wonder if it was sudden or not, he appeared happy with the EDS.

Back to back titles in his first 2 seasons here but then 4W, 6D, 10L and 23rd out of 26 last season. Yes, we had long injuries to key players and lost others and they were a very young team, but they're always young anyway as play them up a level or two and injuries happen. I don't know if he jumped or was pushed but something seemed off last season.
