Quote: Gotcha "Well to look at simply. This whole thing only came out yesterday. Within 24 hours, we are somehow led to believe that Furner was to be offered the Job at Souths, go against his contract at Leeds, and agree a deal, and whilst that has been happening in the same 24 hours, somehow Souths have managed to agree a deal and appoint a different coach who is currently in a different country working on a test match.
I strongly doubt that somehow Souths have managed to tie up that deal in that manner in 24 hours, and have actually been working on that for much longer.'"
To be fair didnt The Mole article say something along the lines of Furner to coach souths in 2019?
As Bennett is only joining them in 2020 I believe so it may possibly have still been accurate and that Souths looked at the possibility of Furner doing a season. Has Seibold taken up the option for 2019 season as yet or Is he still going now regardless.
Something along the lines of:
Souths sign Bennett up. Bennett says won’t come until 2020 as wants to see out contract at Brisbane. Brisbane undecided at that point - Souths explore other options but still want Bennett. Agree to 2020 start but as Seibold thought he was going 2019 they are left with a coach who’s mind is elsewhere or they part ways and find a years cover - who can do this? DF.
Ask DF - DF thinks maybe an option - allegedly quoted as “things happening” maybe asks Leeds if can start a year from now.
GH sees rumours and reminds via press that you are coming to Leeds and players are coming because of you. Now or never etc.
DF commits
