| Quote: bewildered "Francis Cummings as the new Bulls head coach, he is after a head coaches job after all
Cummins is in the same group as Tony Smith (not the talented one) & Andy Hay as someone I would never consider as a SL coach. IMO he lacked bottle & I cannot imagine him having the balls to deal with player issues. Similarly, Graham Steadman, while significantly better as a player, also lacked bottle on occasions, which prevented him becoming a successfu SL coach.

Perhaps useful as an assistant though? |

I feel that Poaching might cover an inadequacies that Cummins has in the 'bottle' department.
Seems to me that they are being lined up as a double act somewhere. |

That's the feeling I got too. That Cummins would be a head coach with Poching as his assistant. |

It might be, depending on which people, and who they are saying it is . . .  |

"I'm 49, I've had a brain haemorrhage and a triple bypass and I could still go out and play a reasonable game of rugby union. But I wouldn't last 30 seconds in rugby league." - Graham Lowe (1995):20201.jpg |

Does anyone actually know anything or are we all whistling in the dark?
If someone is in the know, can they confirm it's NOT Cummins/Poching that would be a relief. Only the timing of Leeds' announcement is a little scary!

People on here or elsewhere, and who are they saying? I can't imagine it could be worse than a Cummins/Poching double act, but then I am open to being unpleasantly surprised. |

I've heard from two different people today (One a Rhinos fan, one a Bulls fan) that Iestyn Harris will now be getting it  . |

Good, he can play 6 whilst Sykes is banned and then switch to hooker and L'Estrange can play scrum half. If we can get Deacs back on a short term loan we could really challenge for the top 8.
