Bobbie Goulding is hoping that life really does begin at 40! After six long months on the sidelines, the former Great Britain scrum-half is desperate for a return to rugby leagues professional ranks.

Bobbie feels he has been the outsider looking in for far too long. He is hungry to resume a career in coaching and seeks an opening.

He has already thrown his hat into the ring for jobs at Oldham, Dewsbury and London.

Goulding feels he is now at an age where he can put something back into the game he loves and made his mark at the very top.

All I need is a chance, says Goulding. In my view, there are far too many overseas coaches in our game and thats not right.

I have confidence in my own ability. I know I can put a club on track and soon send them in the right direction. I certainly have the experience.

I feel we have far too many schoolteachers and men from similar professions now holding down key coaching jobs and thats also wrong.

To win at this game you dont need an expert knowledge of physics or mathematics you need to have been at the coal face and done it.

I have and I have a team in place who are ready to go alongside me.

Maybe it is more than coincidence to see Featherstone, Halifax and Sheffield going so well right now in the Championship with three former GB players in charge.
