Dennis will be a skills coach - which is quite some way below the position that he had with Wigan. I think that he left purely because he didn't get on with Millward.

As with Faz, at least Betts did not go to another Super League club - as much I do not rate him as a coach it would have been strange to see him as the away coach at the JJB; as he was always one of my favourite players.

As for regretting the move - I live near Gloucester (and worked there for a while) and it's a dump. The home stand at Kingsholm (Gloucester's ground) is called the shed - and that basically sums up the whole city (cathedral aside)

I agree with Dave0 in this one, a great player but i felt he acted like a spoilt little brat at the end. He was very fortunate to be hannded a role as Wigan Coach with so little experience, and then to be offered the assistant job was very fair indeed. I think he has shot himself in the foot with a move to Glouster and i think he gives the impression of a little boy taking his ball home. Lets not forget that Bett's showed little loyalty to us when he upped and moved off to Auckland, and was given a second chance at Wigan. I also here rumours of a legal dispute he has slapped against the club. Well if this is true i think it's good ridence.
