You have to be wary to go back and coach the team where you were regarded as a legend. It might not be right for the individual or the club.

James Lowes at Bradford - I'll forever idolise the bloke as a player for us but he isn't made to be a first team coach. He's an able assistant.

Keiron Cunningham - Another hooking legend. I'm not a Saints fan so I don't know how conflicted they are about his legacy given he was one of the greatest players to wear their shirt, but as a coach he appears to be even worse than Lowes.

Kevin Sinfield clearly has quite a lot upstairs to compliment his fantastic playing career, so perhaps he'll go ok, but it's a risk.

that is why he has Lowes to blame things on.

Sinfield won with his ability to con the officials a number of times.

Yes that's why Sinfield had such a great career, by conning officials - give your head a shake.

I'm not saying he wasn't a very talented player, just pointing out one of those talents was practically ref'ng the game. Ask any none Leeds fan, him and Burrow constantly bleated to officials.

Absolute tosh, any none Leeds fans are hardly an unbiased source are they especially as Sinfield led Leeds to many Grand Finals wins against their teams.

You do realise Sinfield was captain and allowed to talk to the officials don't you.

talk, yes, bleat, no.

Anyway, it doesn't matter now, he's DOR with a stooge coach to blame if it goes wrong (which I hope it doesn't).

Lowes a legend at Bradford
Sinfield a legend at Leeds

BUT
Hanley was a legend at Wigan, as was Gregory
Schofield a legend at Leeds
Crooks at Leeds & Hull

where are they all now?

Good luck to Leeds, seems you have a rebuilding phase (not just the stadium), I expect Hull to be in the same position in 2020.

Re: Rhinos sack McDermott : Tue Jul 10, 2018 12:26 pm  

Its easy to support a winning side and be all high and mighty when your club is performing well.

I'm hoping Leeds end up in the m8s and struggle a bit. Hetherington will then miraculously change his opinion on the restructure.

Those Leeds fans that think they will walk the m8s if they end up there better wake up quick. In the very 1st m8s we walked it, the following year we were relegated with arguably a better team on paper. Leeds have an injury crisis and are on a losing streak. Not good signs at all.
