I'm a little stuck here. For me, a coach coaches. A coach gets the players on the training area and shows them how they want the game played. A coach gets what he wants out of the players. For me, Graham Murray was a perfect example of this.

A manager, manages. They look after the discipline, conduct, availability, timetabling, organisation, press commitments, the day to day running of the team that allows the Coach 100% bandwidth to Coach the team.

A Director sits above these two and Directs operations, makes sure sufficient resources are available for the Coach and Manager to do their jobs. A Director can be Financial, Operational, People, Marketing, etc etc. In this case Rugby.

I have never seen this not be the case. GH was Director, there was always a Manager, and always a coach.
It seems now that GH has separated his role of effectively MD to allow him bandwidth to fill Caddick's responsibilities on the board. Is Sinfield the right person to fill what effectively is a role for someone to figurehead a process that up until now was working very well, his Masters in Sports Business would suggest so. His experiences similar.

I would suggest time will tell. BUT. To quote G1 (in a nutshell) from a decade ago when Leeds were struggling and recovered to finish 5th then win the GF, twice. If Leeds are there or thereabouts come October, this thread will be a distant memory.

As a 20 year old half I'd say his critics would be seeing a more consistent player truer to his capability, if he was playing alongside a fit and in form Gale.

So what do you think will be seen when he is with Richardson?

Yep not a flat track bully, got plenty of time to develop, but potential does not always equate to real talent, one great game against a dire Hull side does not make him the world beater some are making out, see where he is at when he is 22-23.

We have a fair number of young players of a similar age and younger who will frustrate sometimes. There is some real good talent coming through across the game at the moment which is great to see - you look at players like Welsby at Saints and he has England FB written all over him already.

Isn’t this thread kinda dead now by the way...?

His CV dosnt just consist of one great game against Hull, he's had plenty of good games aswel as a few bad ones, theres a clear middle ground between flat track bully and world beater, at 20 yearold, Truemans at the higher end of that middle ground for me, certainly ahead of the curve of where you'd expect a 20 yearold half to be.

As you say, potential dosnt always equate to real talent, but thats nothing new, it applys to every young player. Hopefully Trueman goes on to fulfill his potential .
