BOLD BOND VOW TO GET MOJO BACK

- CONNOR O’BRIEN

NEW Bond University head coach Grant Anderson has promised to deliver a style of rugby that will wow fans and re-energise the side’s finals dreams.

Anderson (pictured) was moved into the top job during the Christmas break after work commitment­s restricted Adrian Thompson. The former Gold Coast Breakers champion prop is excited about the opportunit­y, having previously coached the club’s colts to success before stepping up as Sean Hedger’s Queensland Premier Rugby assistant in recent seasons.

With Hedger now in a director of rugby role, Anderson has his chance and will have a strong staff behind him featuring Hedger, Thompson, ex-National Rugby Championsh­ip coach Rod Seib and long-time The Southport School mentor Ray Thomas.

Hurt by their wooden spoon last year, Bond are supercharg­ed to bounce back this season.

A productive recruitmen­t drive has netted them livewire back Pierce Fitzgerald from Brothers and the Robina club are set to unleash their talent in the most explosive way possible.
