Should we be worried that whitecross isn't named?

Not really. He is still being managed with the hopes of being right for rd1

Hawks rotate assistants as their coaches for the NAB, Clarko is there but he isn't actually coach. I noticed them talking about Ratts so I figured he was the guy that got the gig. Last year Bolton had first crack and that was another reason they had so much faith in him when Clarko was sick.

Hawks just take the piss and do what they want lol
