Cas were (and are) 5hit when Ellery went, and with all respect to the big family down the road, Leeds are a damn site better proposition than NL 5hite.

With Mercer returning from Scotland as assistant

would be good to see a GB legend back in top coaching job

Would be delighted if it were Ellery - think I'm right in saying he's from Leeds, but most importantly he would have the respect of the players and not accept any mediocrity or prima donnas. As stated earlier he probably gets on well with GH which would also be a great help.

Can't really see any downsides to this one - fingers crossed.

I remember the last time Salary Hanley was employed by Leeds. The gate prices went up, the beer got more expensive and the burgers became a luxury purchase - all to pay his monstrous wages. And we still won f*** all.
Having said that he did break the tries in a season record for a forward (Bob Haigh's 40 I think) one yaer and he did help us to our first CC final since '78, and he was pretty awesome at times. Oh bollox, I'd like to see him here as well.

And he did that strange try celebration when he scored under the sticks against Wigan.

I put little faith in these rumours, but IF it happened I WOULD be well pleased.

Pleased enough for BIG letters.

Could this lead to the dream team being re-united



Ellery with Schoey as No.2

JESUS H CHRIST BUDDY, WHAT DID YA EAT???????

Surley if leeds are true to their word Daryll Powell who took a sideways move to accomadate Tony Smith and was promised he would be reinstated as first team coach when Smith leaves should be reinstated, and infact built the team that Tony Smith inherited.

Where were you two years ago when that plan was kyboshed?

If it's true then I wonder if Hanley is going for it so he can maybe become the GB coach once Smith goes?
