Interesting that the majority of drop outs in the NRL tend to be go short.

Cushty. Beouf a la mode, as they say in the Dordogne.

Creme De Menthe!!!!! Let's put a stop to this insanity.

Please no  , 


Plays boring rugby , dislikes Leeds and moans that everything is against his team.It rarely works in sport when someone from an arch rival takes over

Just getting back to McNamara, I think I’d rather eat my own Shoite than have him as Leeds coach. He’s not up to it, would be a monumental step backwards.

Interesting comments


Unfortunately I heard it from a 2nd source that he is being lined up. I for one would not renew my season ticket if he is appointed and would revert to being a sky watcher. 


Please Ian Blease and JJB have more sense. 

Surely we can do better than Richard Agar Mk. 2 with a grumpy demeanour. It really will be like replacing Murray with Lance all over again, except with a Hull accent "a can drink farve parnts' (to quote Tigertot). 

A more fitting place for him would be back at the Bulls, reprising his role as Noble's assistant - after all, Noble was far more successful in terms of trophies and win/loss.

If Arthur leaves and we opt for an Engliish coach we should strongly consider taking a Peet style leap of faith and going for Jamie Langley. Clearly very plugged into the modern game and very articulate. Check out the latest club podcast for an excellent listen.

I wondered a while ago if Langley is going to be the replacement.  It may explain why there seems to be little pressure on Arthur to make a decision.  If his replacement is already employed by the club then Arthur could leave it until later in the season to commit or otherwise. 

I’d be happier with Langley if BA were to do 1 more year, then I think it takes away the risk because the culture will be fully embedded by then. What I don’t want to see is someone who will break down the culture we have now created, that would be a big step backwards.

I'd be happy to go with Langley, though my ideal would be BA for one more year, with Langley to take over in 2027. With the amount of NRL coaches under massive pressure, I can't see that happening, as BA could be in with the Gold Coast, Manley or Knights jobs quite easily this year.


As Arthur says, he speaks incredibly well on the podcasts. The fact that he's up for doing so many tells me he is angling for it.


The other factor is bringing in an external coach would mean we'd possibly lose the momentum in the squad and playing style. I'm sick of this 'change in philosophy' nonsense, and the new coach needs to build 'his squad'. Langley would provide the best continuity from what we've already got IMO.
