This is definitely happening, but not sure what the Carnegie link is?

Please let if be McDermott moving upstairs. I like the bloke, therefore wouldn't like to see him sacked as Leeds coach. However, even with Leeds showing improvement this year, he is still holding the squad back from its pull potential. McDermott moving as director of Rugby for both clubs and Furner and/or Dunneman as head/assistant coach would be insanely good news.

Furner is a 5hite coach.

How is he holding the squa...

Ah let's not derail the thread.

This isn't the news anyway so you'll be disappointed.

Yes, this ageing, declining squad is achieving nowhere near its full potential. This is entirely down to the coach, and in no way due to the players who are sticking robotically to his game plan rather than playing what is in front of them each week.

Deary me.

If that is not the news then I won't be disappointed one bit. Just because I think McDermott is still not getting 100% out of the squad doesn't necessary mean I'm calling for his head!!

We're finally going to announce the signing of Jonah Lomu

Founder members of a breakaway hybrid rugby competition?

On what basis? I disagree with you.

If the news isn't about McDermott then it will be something on par with the Leeds & Souths partnership.....

Whoa there everybody...
Has nobody noticed that the date chosen for his "News" is April 1st?
April fool!

His coaching record. Apart from a decent run in 2010 he was shocking at Canberra. He's seen as somewhat of a negative coach too from what I've seen.

To be honest, if we do go down the path of a coaching change (and I don't think we will) I'd go for someone with no previous connection with the club. Jim Dymock was a good shout earlier

It's not April 1st today...

I've just been told what it is. Put it this way, everybody is wrong so far. And it's quite a shocker.
