He will be like a football manager rather than coach. Lowes will be Brian Kidd to alex Ferguson, lowes is a good coach just never been at the rigjt club, with Kev overseeing should go well.

I think its the extra responsibility that’s lured him back, he will take over GH at some point

Deary me.

Some thing to get the fans back onside.

Just think it's too soon for Sinfield and as you say, the cheap option in Lowes. We need a proven coach that can build a new team

Interesting times ahead for Leeds. Does Sinfield have any coaching experience at all? It's a hell of a first appointment for someone new to coaching. There are plenty of examples of former players moving into the coaching role and things ending in tears.

Absolutely over the moon that he's back. As all Leeds fans are. Very interesting to see how he goes as a head coach now. Along with other duties.

Kev really is the hero we need. He always answers our call. LIGHT THE SINFIELD SIGNAL

As I suggested on the other thread just what is needed right now - minimal disruption but a figure head who has been in the trenches and knows what is required to win the war.

So if we win the next 4 games does Lowes get the job next season?
Let's hope the old friends act doesn't take effect when Sinny keeps Ablett, JJB and Delaney for another season and hopes Moon will eventually become the SO we are looking for and Sutcliffe is given another chance in yet another position in the starting line up.
Whilst I'm delighted Sinfield is back I would prefer to see an established coach from the NRL working alongside him.
Apart from Sinny apparently doing all the coaching alongside JP when he was playing. Does he have any official coaching skills on his cv?

Yes, Saddleworth under 13's

Did they win anything ?

I wonder how similar some of the posts in this thread are compared to the Saints one when Cunningham came back.

If McGuire is right and it is a player lead club, and the players are on board with this appointment, it could work out a treat. Fully expecting you guys to run Cas close this weekend.

I’m very happy with this. James Lowes is a highly rated coach. Kev will be making the decisions, speaking to the media etc

Our lass said to me this morning, as i sat upon my throne "Kevin Sinfield, i hope its him".

I said, "nah, i hope not. We dont want another Kieron Cunningham situation. I dont think Sinfield would go for it and hes not a coach".

Not sure how i feel about it.

I did however think that McDermott would be sacked after the Wigan game and Lowes in charge until the end of the season.

Well it looks like my informant from last week was spot on

He isn’t coaching, Lowes is. I think this is great news
