The Woden Valley Rams have appointed joint head coaches after the NSW Rugby League stepped in to block their previous appointment.
Rams hierarchy has gone into damage control over their unsuccessful attempt to appoint Ashley Barnes as their Canberra Raiders Cup coach - a year after sacking him over allegedly inappropriate conduct - writing to sponsors to justify their actions.
But Woden Valley chairman Steve Hicks admitted in Monday's email, which has been obtained by The Canberra Times, Barnes' position as Rams coach was untenable once ACT Policing started an investigation.
