Mike Forshaw is Tigers new defence coach, Ant Allen joins as an assistant coach as well.
Very pleased with that. Forshaw built an incredible defence with Sale and Allen had such a brain for the game as a player.

Good for Ant, hope he has a better time than with us
What’s the story there? Didn’t realise he’d gone in to coaching, but seems the right sort of fit given the way he played.

Been coaching pretty much since he retired, been around the blocks a bit; he coached defence and the backs for us for three years and was interim head coach....pretty short straw in fairness, but it was a tough time for all. Lovely bloke, a better assistant coach at this point.

Yeah, Forshaw is a quality addition. Good defence coach with plenty of experience. Shame we couldn't keep the one we'd seconded from Japan for consistency but this is some very good work from the club to get Forshaw in.
Ant Allen was at Cov coaching initially then I think he took a break to do other things before coming back into Champ coaching with Banquo's Boys. Be interesting to see what sort of role he has.

Think Ant actually started coaching with Tigers academy, where he became head coach (working with some of the current seniot squad), before moving to be part of the senior coaching group then off to Cov, then a break, then us....whilst doing some work in schools and other gigs.

Correct.
