Not for next season anyway.

The rumours doing the rounds was that McDermott would come to the Rhinos primarilly as assistant coach for 2011 but with a possible view of taking over from Bluey in 2012 when his current deal runs out <and if he doesn't get a further contract for 2012>

There's some rumours of this on the quinns board as well.

Good move for us,I think,if true

I would be happy for him to come and be an assistant.

Well from what I've been told Bluey isn't the most popular person around Headingley, and there's more to Poching and Cummins' departure than meets the eye.

Coaches aren't employed to be popular, they're employed to mould a team capable of winning silverware.

Was told something similar. Poaching in particular wanted to stay and has been somewhat "forced out." Never know to what extent these things are true though.

Strange then that it's Cummings and Poching leaving and not him!

Maybe GH felt he needed Bluey more than the other two.
Be interesting to see if Bluey carries on winning trophies and wants to stay on.
Will they promote the second in command if the rumours are true?
I know what I would be doing if I were GH.

Care to divulge then?
When all these rumours surfaced about Lance he was axed yet this time Bluey is staying which implies to me that maybe he isn't as unpopular with the players and staff as 1st reported.
