I'd like a proper explanation for why getting rid of Furner now is the answer. Why not give him to the end of the season? We've been winning more of late, albeit not going on a proper run. I'm struggling to see how a new coach can really make a difference when they've not responded to Brian Mac, KS & Lowes, and now Furner.

Hetherington, of course, has a much stronger pedigree as a head coach than Furner. Albeit a few years ago now but let's not pretend he is some clueless interfering board member who doesn't know what he's talking about.

Not sure how he will do that as he has under 2 years service. So unless it's discrimination he hasn't a leg to stand on

As much as I don’t want it to be Wane, i’m fairly certain he’d toughen our defence up.

Wane for me

I'd rather watch Leeds aim for the stars rather than the supporting leg.

I was a fan of range at Wigan. His teams defended with pride and aggression.

The steak was well structured and designed to get the ball to their weapons to maximise their impact. Watkins may not be at his best, but we criminally under used his strike power under McDermott. Same guys with hall.

If back him to bring the youngsters on.

Seems to fit on so many levels

Wane would improve the defence and not put up with some of the feeble efforts we have seen this season, but I would not want him at Leeds.
He is Wigan through and through, and couldn't give the same to another club. He said as much when he came here as a player. Also the style of Rugby under Wane was terrible to watch, those complaining about the entertainment under McDermott's reign would not be happy with Wane.

God if Wane were to come in would the last person out of the new stands turn the lights out

EXACTLY

Rumour in Oz is that Shane Flanagan is on his way.

For those wishing Flanagan...whilst he did win Cronulla the comp (very Tony Smith) he was criticised a lot for a very dour style. He also presided over a supplements programme that potentially put players at risk and was enitrely against anti-doping rules. He then - rightly - got a ban from coaching, only to blatantly breach it almost from day one of his suspension. I'm not saying don't go for him, but he's not the messiah.

Regardless, now is the time when the management have to back the coach. If its right that Furner wanted some players out that GH and co wanted to keep, why would they react any differently if a new coach tells them the same thing? The evidence is clear that a number of our 'senior' squad are either not up to it or only play when they want to. They need to be got rid of regardless.

I don't necessarily think it was a case of Furner wanting rid of players whilst KS and GH didn't want to get rid. I just think Furner expected to be to get rid of some of them far sooner than was possible.

It's clear to me that this is more than just poor results, the spirit and confidence in the dressing room is nonexistent.

If we go for a British option, I reckon Ian Watson would be a great choice.

It didn't look right though a group of players told the club wanted them to leave and to add insult to injury it was all printed in the local news paper.
