"Let's keep it to ourselves" – Garry Usher
"I'm almost frightened to give 50 Great Backs Moves a recommendation because it is superb and a great aid for any coach, but if other coaches use it they'll have all the advantages this book gives you at their disposal. A great book, but let's keep it to ourselves!"

"Thanks to these great moves we won the grand final" – Kas Kafoa
"I was coaching 2nd grade for two years, made semi final both years but didn't make the grand final. I decided I needed more help in finding ways to score more tries, then came 50 GREAT BACKS MOVES. It was easy to implement because of it's simplicity. The layout of the manual is outstanding, it makes so much sense. We finished the year with best for and against thanks to these great moves and WON THE GRAND FINAL. Thanks Dan."

It was great to have a lot of pre-planned information that the guys could see and understand. Thanks Dan, keep the great information coming."

"Newcastle University has benefited greatly from the 50 Great Backs Moves report in season 2005. The moves have been shared from First grade to Fourth Grade including Under 20s and the Women's team, and with inspiration from these moves, the University has had it's most successful year in more than a decade with four of its six teams finishing in finals contention, with the other two teams just missing out.

"I could not be happier with this purchase" – T. Scott Adamson
"50 Great Backs Moves" is a great tool for communicating WHY a play should be called! Each play is detailed with:
1) Points to coach for execution
2) Why you would call the play based on personnel
3) What part of the pitch the play can be most successful
4) Easy to read and understand diagrams
I am continually learning more and better ways to use this tool to improve play calling. Keep up the great work Coach Cottrell! I could not be happier with this purchase."

"An excellent resource" – John Sherratt
"Being a coach from New Zealand, in particular Crusader-Canterbury country where our standards are set reasonably high, I have been very impressed with all the information that Dan, you and the team delivers, so keep up the good work. As a backs coach (both of club and representative teams) I found the 50 Great Backs Moves an excellent tool to use to give variety to the backlines I have been coaching. With the way the game is today, the backlines I coach and the backlines my teams play against most of the moves used are very similar therefore not only is there a focus on executing the moves properly but you also look at ways of stopping the said moves if they are used against you. What I have found is that I can either use a move as described in your document or I can modify the move to suit the skill level of the backline I am coaching to gain a significant edge over the backline we are playing against. Dan, what you and the team provide, especially the 50 Great Backs Moves, is an excellent resource for coaches like myself to use, so keep the information coming!"
    - John Sherratt, Christchurch Football Club, New Zealand

I have used some of the basic moves for our Under 9s and will use the more elaborate moves after the backs learn to execute these moves well. The moves can be used for all age groups from Under 9s to seniors."

"Has helped me enormously" – Tony Todd
I am coaching now at a small town in the south west of France.

The diagrams, which I feel are tremendous have helped me overcome some of the language problems! It was well worth the money."
    - Tony Todd, France

"I find 50 Great Backs Moves extremely helpful in designing each week's game plan. I have tried to include at least one new move in each week's match, particularly when the situation calls for a change of pace. The diagrams are easy to understand and the accompanying text explains each move and positional responsibility clearly, and suggests when each move would be best used. I recommend 50 Great Backs Moves to all coaches looking to inject some variety into their backline play."
