Hmmmm a tip off or gut feeling?

Think I would of preferred a higher class of coach to get the big names in for next season. Then breed kev for the job over the next few years. But saying that I hope the role works and having full control could be brilliant!

Just seen a valid point on twitter re Director of Rugby. Wasnt Powell made Director of Rugby on Smiths appointment before he ultimately left Leeds?

Pete Smith seems to think not but im not so sure? He definitely moved upstairs for a period.

Wasnt that Leeds Rugby ie both League and Union (though mostly Union) rather than Leeds Rhinos Director of Rugby?

I cant remember. Just thought it was interesting given the announcement as a new position.

Really pleased Sir Kev is back. Hope he doesn't take on too much responsibility too early but for me 100% the right man for the job. The ultimate pro.

He's at an age where the players can relate and respect. He will have an open attacking philosophy which we need and I think he will develop the young players at the club.

Change was needed and I firmly believe were in a stronger position now than last week even if the league position says different

Happy with sinfield as DOR, think its the ideal role for him. Absolutely gutted with lowes as coach, hopefully he's a stopgap until the end of the season until we can get our future coach in.

Re: Sir Kevin Sinfield - Is back : Sat Jul 07, 2018 6:58 am  

I agree. this move gives the club time to find a top coach and sinfield time to find his feet. sinfield will end up with Hetherington job in a year or too.
I just hope we have enough to stay up this season.

In the film As good as it gets? it really seemed like Sinfield was finished with the game and had absolutely no desire to continue being involved in it. Didn't he also say he had no real interest in coaching too? What's changed his mind?

Re: Sir Kevin Sinfield - Is back : Sat Jul 07, 2018 7:53 am  

cam you see him coaching long before he moves upstairs?
I give him next season at most
