After hearing all the rumours and speculation I am suprised that nobody has suggested a coach who in my opinion is one of the most under rated english coaches around Karl 'Rhino' Harrison. A local lad who has always stated he would be happy to coach at the Rhinos, I think he would make an axcellent assistant to Brian Mac and fill the bill a tee.

Any thoughts ?

Is he willing to negotiate at a motorway service station?

There would be no rebelling or cliques within the team, and I like Rhino, but I think we need someone who has been closer to the top of the game over the last couple of years.

I'm sure I heard him in a tv interview, when asked about a possible return to a SL coaching position, he replied that he was doing nicely outside the game and wasn't that bothered. Whether that was simply a throw away line, or perhaps a reaction to his time in management, I'm don't know. I don't honestly think that Rhino and Barry Mac would be a marriage made in rugby heaven.

Good luck to the guy with his businesses, but I think we should go for someone who would relish the opportunity of coaching at Headingley, and maybe be a tad more eager for the recognition that SL success would bring him.

He'd be cheap, so it's possible.

Only is he agrees to stop pronouncing the word 'defence' as 'dee-fence', and remember that it's 'attack', not 'offence'.

Only problem with that would be both coaches would be power house hard hitting forwards.

I don't have a problem with Harrison, and would be fine with that. 3rd coach would need to reflect the 2 props though so (for example) I would suggest that having both Demetriou and Harrison under McDermott wouldn't be the best idea. Unless they gave Sinnie a more defined coaching role.

It's all speculation. Should be an interesting few weeks!

it mentions in a paper the other day that jimmy lowes name has been mentioned.

If you mean the piece by Dave Parker in the League Express take it with a massive pinch of salt. He's got literally all his information on that piece about Leeds from this messageboard.

So far then we have Jason Demitriou, Nigel Wright, Karl Harrison & James Lowes.

Any more?

yes i dir mean the league express, duly noted looking for the salt now.

I think on one of the other topics Graham Murray and Brett Kimmorley were mentioned.
