As this impacts Leeds as well as Fev am putting the link up here. Think this has been fairly well known for a little while now but confirmation he's returning to Australia for family reasons. Had a tremendous year at Fev. https://www.featherstonerovers.co.uk/ne ... home-VZZ2b

Firstly hope the family reasons aren't too serious, secondly the team should be appointing specialist attack & defence coaches.

From our perspective of maybe losing Carr as Assistant, this is disappointing.

Getting the right senior coaching staff in place is just as important as getting the next couple if player signings right.

Yes it's a real shame he's not joining us. He made a difference to us when he came in

We have not had a really good assistant coach for about 8 years, we must appoint a really good assistant for next year, chev walker is glorified water carrier, Burrow is maybe a couple of years off as is cuthbo who has done a great job with womens team, playing some lovely rugby. Carr seemed ideal fit, hopefully can get a really good replacement an up and coming coach from championship or Nrl reserve grade.

The reality here is that nobody knows what impact the assistant coach has compared to the head coach. It's just an attempt to sound informed.

Webster will be the part time assistant, as Carr was

I'm certain a couple of players mentioned in the press about the positive impact of Carr

Carr was highly regarded by the players he coached and Leeds, but if he's going home, so be it.

If that happens it really shows the club has simply become a place where jobs for the boys really does apply. Webster has been a disaster wherever he has coached

He's the coach of Fev, so it'd make sense to have him involved in some capacity.

Like I said last week Carr was heading home probably as an assistant coach.
Carney spoke about it after the Toronto game.
Maybe if Agar fails Carr will come back as first team coach if his family issues are resolved?
Is Poching worth a shot as assistant or has he now got a gig?

Poching has replaced Webster at KR

Cheers mate missed that one.

This can hardly have been a surprise for the powers that be at HQ.

James Webster. And everywhere that Mary went, her lamb was sure to go...
