I think the fact we hated Wigan so much makes people say they played boring Rugby under Wane. This isn't acctually true. I've never seen a team play more attractive rugby than in 2012, with Tomkins in his Prime. Wane trusts the kids and gives them chances. Think we need someone prepared to do that. Bringing Donaldson and Thompson off the bench is absolutely pointless imho....

Not a Leeds fan and not a Wigan hater but the Wane tactics around the PTB and the attack being highly structured just makes it dullsville in my eyes. Plenty of teams have played better rugby albeit not always won the comp e.g. Cas, Warrington, Saints etc.

Wane only just inherited the side from Maguire in 2012, so perhaps that is some of the old style rubbing off on him. Don't forget that quite a lot of Wigan fans didn't like the way they played under Wane either.

TBF,
Mumby was a great defender at FB in his prime, not so much by mid 80’s mind you.
Agree with bullseye Peter Fox never got the cash to spend like coaches that followed.
I think though the game was moving beyond Fox by then.
Not sure many Leeds supporters warmed to him much but I lost it when he played 9 of the team that drew 24 all with HKR, the very next day v Bradford. Not surprisingly we lost easily and then 3 days later lost the semi replay after being nil nil at half time, we completely ran out of gas.
The selection v Bradford 24 hours after a semi final was impossible to understand , suspect he was trying to prove something v Bradford but we lost 8-28 and i think that was it for him really at Leeds.
From The first semi Leeds played 11 games in 29 days, won 2 and drew another v Bradford in a fixture pile up nightmare

We got some really big calls to make for next year.
Martin
Mellor
Prior
King
Myler

Could all potentially be moving on.
Think someone needs to make a call on Walker too.
Exciting times. I would trust Wane to make some big calls. I would trust Agar and Sinny too to be fair, but I honestly feel we need a serial winner in (and someone who wants to be a head coach for a few years) to see us through the next transition.
Wane would have my vote from the realistic options available. We'd need to start negotiating now though as it's clear he's looking up tie a contract down.

Myler is not off contract and neither is Walker

Wane is not coming to Leeds end off.

If Agar does move aside it will likely be Long taking over

That would be a disaster. We've tried untested head coaches before, didn't work

Powell
Furner

IN[/fimg]

Yep, getting stuck with macnamara when Radford's available doesn't bear thinking about

I said if, but 100% wane will not be next Leeds coach completely incompatible.

Long is not untested Powel was thrown in not long after retirement, Furner been a head coach but was just a massive mistake.

Long has done his apprenticeship and is experienced number 2, if the club think he is now ready make the step up i’d trust them on it. And its not the same as Furner as he already at the club fits in with the playing group so not a culture clash

Wigan fans hated the way they played under Wane, even if they liked some of the results. I've seen the continuous fall in crowds there attributed to this.

Certainly never seen Wigan under him referred to as one of if not the most entertaining teams in SL history. That doesn't really make sense.

Think your confusing Furner with Price.
Furner was assistant at South's. What has Long done in his glittering assistant coach career to get a mention even?!

Furner was head coach at Canberra wasn’t he?

He was. But our Shabino is not one to let the facts hold him back. Of course, if we are looking for a serial winner with superleague experience there is one available candidate who's resume towers over the rest. Who could it be? For the record I'd stick with Agar and go for a young and hungry Aussie when the time is right.

No
OK yes
