Flanagan was a bit like Brian McDermott in that although he won the comp I know quite a few sharks fans who didn't like the way they played under him. Even winning the comp didn't make him that popular.

Also you cannot ignore his negligence (at best) in the rogue drug program at the sharks, and his subsequent breathtaking arrogance towards his ban which led to him getting fired.

I wouldn't be upset if he became our coach, but there are fairly big reasons why he's available.

I just think it’s the wrong choice for Leeds when we’re trying to rebuild the culture for lasting success again.
Have to say I think Powell would be great, he gets his halves working and the team playing as a unit.
Demetriou seems highly rated but would be seen as risky in our current state.
Watson’s done a good job on limited resources but I think Leeds is s completely different fish.
Holbrook seems happy at Saints (and yet again they have out-recruited us there).
When Murray and Smith came in, they had a quality of character about them and that suits Leeds, especially with a young crop coming through again.

Said it before, although not suggested he should be coach, but Woolford at Huddersfield, with the resources, seems to have done just as good a job as Smith did. That is one poor squad on paper, and look at the turnaround he did.

For me I have said Griffin since before McDermott left, and stick by that. I do think Furner had he been backed would have took us forward long term, but Griffin is the perfect one for me.

Can't see Flanagan here,his image is well tarnished.Agree with Woolford,doing a fine job

Seems like Pete Smith is pointing at Powell. Makes sense that the target is currently in a role otherwise he’d have been appointed by now.

My money would be on him.

got to be someone in a job. it's getting silly now

That in Yep? I found it v interesting that Barrie Mac publicly voiced his hopes for Powell and Sheridan.. it was as if he knew something

The clues have been there all along for Powell...

Rumours circulating for weeks...
Barrie Mac's comments on Sky...
GH's comments in the ?Sun/Star...
The lack of movement on obvious targets out of work...
Now Peter Smith is at it!

Will be interesting if we actually manage to get him.

It does look like Powell is the target. It would make sense on a number of levels, and I think he’d enjoy working with the academy lads coming through.

If Agar dan keep us from drowning this year we have a chance at making progress next.

It is. Agar.

But can Powell achieve at a big club ?

Absolutely
