Changes to back room structure : Fri Oct 19, 2018 5:45 am  

The article on the Rhinos website is very interesting. Reaching out further into the amateur game to better prepare coaches and therefore young players, and possibly most importantly for the next season, a new strength and conditioning coach.

Good stuff Kevin.

Much needed.

having Kevin in charge for the last few weeks has opened his eyes. he's certainly being ruthless which is great after the last few years

Seems he wasn’t joking when he said there would be changes behind the scenes, Sinfield was meticulous as a player and I’m sure he will be in this role.

I’m going to give GH some credit as he’s obviously putting a lot of trust in Kev and letting him get on with it.

From the announcement it appears Davidson has become the kit man?

Re: Changes to back room structure : Fri Oct 19, 2018 11:02 am  

All really good changes and very pleased.

Still think Furners coaching support looks light with chev and Lowe's but perhaps that will change once furner sees what he has and what he needs.

There's already an "equipment manager". I read it more as "man who books the team bus"

I think Davidson is lucky to survive the re-organisation at all, probably the most unfit looking conditioner I have ever seen

he gets slagged off but we've won plenty of grand finals with him as conditioner, including 12 months ago
