I agree it would have been great if GH said here is Kevin Sinfield and here is Craig Bellamy - that would be revolution - the club needs evolution.
Will Lowes work - I hope so and I genuinely think it will he has the correct leadership in place.

| Certainly didn't see this one coming. I'm really not sure how to feel.I mean, of course i'm happy Sinfield is back with the club but he has no track record at all in coaching (unless you believe he coached the team with JP for several years, which i don't).
There are still a lot of Sinfields old buddies knocking around in that squad too, a fair few that need moving on now in one way or another.i would have liked to see him work alongside/ over looking an experienced coach first for a few years who can fully see out the end of the previous era and into the new one.maybe that will still happen, but i get the feeling that GH is looking for any reason to make this permanent now and save money so expect any spin possible to polish the ending of this turd of a season be it finishing top 2 in the middle 8's or a couple of 'excellent results' in the super 8's.

| Lowes will achieve nothing hes totally the wrong choice. K S appointment seems a bit of a smoke screen to promote a coach not of the Leeds standard. G H doesn't get much wrong but his last two dissensions will bite his bum. Tides of change .

| It was an interesting comment that Barrie Mac made on Sky, Lowes is a great coach but doesn't want to do all of the other 80% of the work that a coach does when off the field.
This sounds like a bit of a smoke screen to get Sinfield to do that 80% and allow Lowes just to have that 20% input with the players. Announced in such a fashion to make it appear that Sinfield will be doing all of the work and will definitely be the focus of the media.
Could be a good combination as Lowes has the coaching background and Sinfield has the ability to front up to the media.

| Quote: batleyrhino "The appointment of Sinfield is clearly a first step into retirement for GH. The fact that he comes in now is simply to placate the worried masses. I'd fully expect another coaching appointment to be made at the end of this season for 2019 and beyond, along with a number of new players.
I did smile when Gary said that "all of our players have performed to outstanding levels over their time here, but not necessarily this season". No 5h!t Sherlock...
As an outsider looking in on the Leeds situation I think your point of GH bringing KS in and developing him with the aspirations of eventually becoming your CEO is pretty much the nail on the head.
Do question the timing of Mcdermott s departure. However I do feel he's lost the dressing room and has been skating on thin ice for a while now.
Maybe GH has gone down this avenue (for now) as your coach isn't immediately available due to paperwork or logistics. I did also hear from an Ex Pro Dennis Betts was already lined up for the position (does this fit with the Sinfield England link?)
I do also think that there's been no real players in abundance to take over the responsibilities of your golden generation. One or two yes, but not the quantity of the void left.
Makes Sunday interesting for you guys though I'd imagine the following week against Wakefield will be a better gauge for the rest of the season.

This would seem to make sense.

| Good start, all we need now is for Sir Kevin to contact Claire Balding to do the PR

| I'm delighted to see Sir Kev back at the club but i really don't know about Lowes. I'm prepared to give them him benefit of the doubt and prey that it will work and keep us out the bottom 4, that's the only thin that is important for this season now. Of course a CC win would be nice ;p

| Delighted that Sir Kevin Sinfield is back at the club, slightly concerned that his first coaching job is head coach. I guess Lowes is the best person we could get to come in as assistant, I presume Barry Eaton will also stay on as assistant.

| Why not give Barry Eaton a go instead of James Lowes ? (for the remainder of the season) Eaton already works with the current squad, whilst James Lowes doesn't have much time to familiarize himself with the entire squad.

| Perhaps Lowes was only willing to leave Yorkshire Carnegie if he was number 2 to Sinfield. Eaton can continue his work with the squad anyway.

| Well, it'll be reviewed at the end of the season, so if Lowes is just an interim coach then I don't mind.
