Out-of-favour Paul takes a swipe at coaches
January 26, 2002

Henry Paul's switch from league to union is not working out the way he would have liked.

And he has allowed his anger to boil over after being left out of Friday night's Parker Pen Shield quarter-final victory over Ebbw Vale.

Paul, who joined Gloucester from Bradford Bulls in a six-figure deal last October, accused the Gloucester coaching staff of sub-standard coaching methods.

He was dropped for failing to make an impact in Gloucester's Powergen Cup defeat by London Irish, but he claims the fault is not all his.

"I don't think the coaching at Gloucester is good enough," he said. "Moving here from Bradford feels like I have taken a step down. There needs to be more technical work, and I feel it is holding me back and the side in general."
