| Choosing the best candidate between Paul Rowley, Brad Arthur, and Jason Demetriou for the head coach position at Leeds Rhinos requires a careful evaluation of each coach's strengths, weaknesses, and fit with the club's needs and strategic goals. Here's a comparative analysis to determine the best candidate:
### 1. **Paul Rowley**
#### Strengths:
- **Experience in Super League and Lower Leagues**: Rowley has had significant success with Leigh Centurions and Toronto Wolfpack, demonstrating his ability to build competitive teams.
- **Innovative Coaching Style**: Known for his innovative and aggressive coaching style, which could bring fresh tactics to Leeds Rhinos.
#### Weaknesses:
- **Lack of Proven Success in Top-Tier Competitions**: While successful in lower leagues, Rowley has not consistently demonstrated the ability to win at the highest level.
- **Inconsistency**: His teams have shown fluctuations in performance, which could be a risk for a club like Leeds Rhinos.
### 2. **Brad Arthur**
#### Strengths:
- **Extensive Experience in the NRL**: Arthur has a decade-long tenure with the Parramatta Eels, including multiple finals appearances.
- **Resilient Coaching Style**: Known for his ability to rebuild and develop teams over time.
#### Weaknesses:
- **Recent Performance Issues**: His recent sacking from the Eels due to poor performance raises concerns.
- **Lack of Premiership Success**: Despite several finals appearances, Arthur has not secured a premiership, which is a key expectation at Leeds Rhinos.
### 3. **Jason Demetriou**
#### Strengths:
- **Experience in Both NRL and Super League**: Demetriou has experience in both leagues, giving him a broader perspective.
- **Strong Assistant Coaching Record**: Has been part of successful coaching teams and has a reputation for player development and tactical acumen.
#### Weaknesses:
- **Limited Head Coaching Experience**: His head coaching experience is relatively recent and less extensive.
- **Adaptation Period**: Still in the process of proving himself as a head coach, which involves a learning curve.
### Comparative Analysis:
1. **Track Record of Success**:
- **Brad Arthur** has the most extensive experience at the highest level (NRL) but lacks a premiership win.
- **Paul Rowley** has had significant success in lower leagues but less in top-tier competitions.
- **Jason Demetriou** has the least head coaching experience but brings a blend of NRL and Super League exposure.
2. **Fit with Leeds Rhinos’ Needs**:
- **Brad Arthur** brings resilience and experience but may not align perfectly with immediate high expectations due to recent performance issues.
- **Paul Rowley** could bring innovation and a fresh approach but may struggle with consistency.
- **Jason Demetriou** offers a balance of fresh ideas and experience in different leagues but needs more time to establish himself as a head coach.
3. **Player Development and Team Culture**:
- **Brad Arthur** has a mixed record in player development.
- **Paul Rowley** is known for his aggressive style which may not suit all players.
- **Jason Demetriou** has a good reputation for player development and could foster a positive team culture.
### Conclusion:
**Jason Demetriou** appears to be the best candidate for Leeds Rhinos considering his blend of NRL and Super League experience, strong reputation for player development, and potential for long-term growth. While he has less head coaching experience, his exposure to successful coaching environments and understanding of both leagues make him a promising choice. His appointment would bring fresh ideas and a balanced approach, aligning well with Leeds Rhinos' strategic goals and emphasis on youth development.

| Interesting article by YEP with Blease, who seems to be saying it could be a few weeks yet before someone is appointed / announced. Seems to me if it were Rowley then the point would be to agree comp with Salford and he would be able to join, that doesn’t sound like a long task to complete. This leads me to think it will be someone from Aus and Arthur would be the favourite there I think. Getting Visas and agreeing the details around a family move isn’t as quick to close as a simply comp conversation with Salford. I’m expecting it to be BA.

I can see why the delay with Rowley compensation would need to be sorted out which may take some time.Surley with Arthur Blease could confirm without a visa plus I'm I think I read that Arthur said his family were up for a move to UK.It could also be that Blease hasn't made his mind up knowing this his first and most important decision.
