has been released from his contract at Warrington today. Guess we should expect an announcement on Monday then regarding our assistant coach?

Interesting.............

On his way with Adamson taking Poching old job if rumours are correct.

Lives in Leeds, so would make sense. Him and Adamson would be great additions to the coaching team.

lowes has been confirmed as your assistant by martyn sadler on his twitter.

This could be good if true.

He has a lot of potential and I'd like to see him achieve this at Leeds.

On His Twitter Page

Of what Martin Sadler has tweeted it must be true otherwise he is risking a hell of a lot posting something like that. So now we have to ask ourselves, do we welcome Judas back with open arms?

Great...!!!

Sent a few texts out regarding the impending appointment....

Every reply was far from complimentary!!

Great news if true

Did wonders for Wire, he got us Tony Smith.

Mac has given a job to his mate. I suspect most Bulls fans would have loved to have had Jimmy on our own coaching staff. Maybe some for reasons more sentimental than objective. I would probably have fallen a bit into both categories.

My only real observation - and question - is: is there a risk that Mac and Jimmy are too alike, in personalities and temperament, and maybe - given their backgrounds, although I don't really know one way or the other - in coaching approaches? Maybe that could be an advantage, outweighing the benefits of an alternative point of view?

Some of you lot will have to get over thinking of him as a "Judas", same way as a load of Bulls fans will. He's got to provide for his family and to do what is best for his long-term career. No-one should ever have an issue with that IMO.

I never considered him Judas,he was offered much reduced terms to resign for a team that was in free fall so I don't blame him for signing a much better deal at the Bulls.

FWIW I never regarded Lowes as a Judas figure.
I was sad to see him go & felt that he was pushed out rather than deserting us.
He certainly paid us back in spades for the Bulls.
If true I think it reflects well on him & GH that they can forgive & forget for what they perceive to be for the good of the Rhinos so why should we as Rhinos not welcome him back?
At least he's a young British coach who seems to have been well regarded wherever he's worked. Not as a head coach but as a capable assistant which is how he'll be employed with us.
Both GH & B McD know him very well so I'm happy to take their judgement over the armchair experts on here & other forums.
