How can it be good for kids to be coached in the Mainland set up for around 3 years by the same coach. In other countries, the kids move up a year with a new coach and their old coach get a new intake of kids at that age group. These players need exposure to different coaches and new ideas to improve their developement.
Also I hear from one of Danny's boys, they all went to a meeting�with Woolston Tech �on Monday night and were being brainwashed into playing for Tech under Danny.

Agree. Too many dads coaching their own kids through the age groups - Danny, Ceri, Terry, Glenn. None specialising at any age group and then passing on that know-how. Poor coach development really.
Hopefully Dannys boys realise they won't be able to play together as a team any longer now they are in the real world.
