A telling sentence referring to Mr. Philpott in the press article
"World champion Baby Blacks head coach Philpott has made no secret of the fact it's his intention to guide the Shield Snorters back to the Premiership.
It's time for his troops to show they are ready for that quest."Significantly it does not refer to when, or which year, his intention is to met.
If you are reading this Mr. Bishop please mark it down in your diary...................
