This. Why we moved away from something we did so right, just to suit someone else's power building I do not know. What a backwards move.

What coaching structure , at the moment we don't have one. That's why we finished up propping up the super league table .

Can't argue with that. We seemed to be hoping for a miracle play every time.

Etc.

I don't think there's a set answer to this, but it is about having a range of skills in the back room staff. If you look at Wigan they have Wane, but IMO they played better rugby with Deacon as an assistant.

Not entirely relatable but I used to play in the forwards and when I've took up age group coaching there are some stuff that scared me to death, like kicking, until I found someone to involve who had this as part of his skill set.

But that's not to say that's always the case, good coaches not only put the right people, but they also can always learn themselves. Ryan hall gives a lot of credit to Bluey (a former half) for teaching him how to attack a ball in the air both to have a chance at scoring or feed a support player.

You can often get too caught up in a coach's former position to form an opinion on him.....note Morley's appointment.

Graham Murray at Leeds was famed for his aggressive pack but what position did he play? In the halves.

Would you say the best bit of Tony Smith as a coach is the centres? I wouldn't.

Assuming nothing has changed since I was last at Kirstall These are the people I can name off the top of my head as the clus has loads of coaches and assistant S C and Phsios.

I really dont see the point of this threads attack on lack of structure

Two many cooks

because there's none on the field. it's a shambles

Oh and there was me thinking with a thread title Coaching Structure we were talking about Coaching my bad, unless you mean Leeds are so poor they need n under 7s style coach on the field aswell

We are talking about our Coaching structure but writing a list of names nest to job descriptions doesn't show or prove a "structure" & given that we don't have one ON the field either id say it's failing from top to bottom.
