Bloody Ell, never heard the second rumour at the time, just remember the first one, then Furner went to Leeds shortly after.

Some saddos about.

Edwards without a doubt.

So what if hes been out of the game for years? Apart from some small rule changes, the game is still the same game and nobody was tactically better than Edwards as a player. John Monie often said it was like having an extra coach on the field when he was playing. Throw the money at him.

Still the same game? I have to disagree there. The sterile stuff on offer these days is miles away from what I remember watching.

On SKY tonight they are saying Leeds will have a pressy Friday 10am to announce who will coach the club to the end of season.
They will also make a significant statement about the coach from 2019.
Barrie McD thinks coach next year will be Furner.

We just have to have confidence in IL and KR to get our appointment right. It shouldn’t impact on us who goes to Leeds unless they have nicked in and snaffled our man but I doubt we’d ever know for sure if that happened. That said, I can’t wait to see who we end up with, I’m like an excited child waiting for a present!

Doesn't Barrie McDermott work for Leeds as part of the youth system? I doubt they would want him revealing the next coach on SKY prior to their press conference. I would think him saying that makes it less likely that Furner will be the Leeds coach. Otherwise he has stolen his employer's thunder by ruining their announcement.

Agree 100%

Sinfield til the end of the season at Leeds I reckon.

For Leeds to be in a position to announce their new coach just 4 days after sacking McDermott suggests they knew for a while he’d be going. Perhaps they knew even before Shaun Wane announced he was going, putting Leeds in pole position for any potential replacements?

Confirmed Sinfield DoR and James Lowes first team coach until the end of the season. Sinfield will stay on and a new Head Coach will come in next season. IMO.

Totally disagree that it's still the same game. It's changed massively in the last 10 years, never mind the last 20. Not experienced enough to be a Head Coach, and would surely want too much money to make it worth him being Assistant Coach.

Totally disagree. He has a pure rugby brain regardless of code. Because he hasn’t been directly involved in RL doesn’t mean he hasn’t watched it and studied it and certainly doesn’t mean he doesn’t understand it. His player management is first class and his experience of managing elite athletes is impressive. With the right assistant coach and Lockers by his side he’d be my first choice by a country mile. Completely fresh view from the top down with some new players to suit it.
