To be fair the next coaching appointment is vital, they shouldn’t be rushing it just to get someone in.

Look on the bright side Bullseye,two full houses and neither of us will have to go to Canada!

Good grief and God help us

Perhaps Hetherington thinks that the cheapest way of getting rid of all of the dead wood that are still under contract is to actually get the club relegated so that all contracts are null and void

Actually probably wouldn't be a bad solution long term.

If we get another shambles on Thursday it could speed things up

didn't he backpack round the world learning coaching till smith stayed on and he went to carnegie

When the Wane rumour first started going round, I said absolutely no way, we don’t want a die hard Wigan born and bred fan in charge. But having thought about it, this is no time to be making decisions with the heart based on pride. Wane would certainly get them fired up for games and toughen up our defence, this is exactly what we need. He’s already said he’s interested in the job, let’s get him on board.

We need coach who can get them motivated for a quick surge to safety then Sinfield should break this lot up and then some serious rebuilding .

Sam Allardyce

Hes one of the very best coaches out there and certainly the best British coach there is. He wants to talk to Leeds about the job. No brainer for me and should have happened already.

Sinfield is making a huge mistake keeping Agar at the helm, the club needs a huge boost. Wane or indeed someone like Flanagan would do that.

Long-term, I don't think Wane is the answer, but short term, he's exactly what we need.

Really? Personally I'd pick Powell over Wane, given the choice. McDermott has a better record at trophy winning than Wane.

The longer this goes on, the more likely it isn't going to be Wane. Otherwise GH would have picked up the phone by now. Depends how desperate we are though, and how things are going with their #1 target. Lose to London next week and we'll see!

Personally, I think Ian Watson would be a great choice if we want a British coach.

Yeah not a bad shout. I rate Powell very highly but for me Wane is the best British coach. We need to get a move on to allow whoever it is time to turn things around before it's too late.

Negotiations may be going on behind the scenes ,any new coach will want guarantees about breaking up this squad and the kind of quality to be signed. No quick fix statements will do now the situation is desperate

Long term is all we should be thinking of, or that term becomes longer and longer.

Agree. If we keep chopping and changing we won’t get a grip of the culture. Would be risky but maybe a Demetriou... if I was a coach approached by Leeds I would want a lot of assurances after seeing what happened to Furner.

I'm as anti Shaun Wane as anyone... I hated him at Wigan...but that might be because he gave his players a determination not to be beaten.....at all costs!! But he doesn't take any crap, and he would toughen the defence up a treat!! We can score tries at the moment, but can't defend for toffee!
I'd take him in a heartbeat.

Coaches are responsible for systems but Leeds are just not physical enough. We have experienced players with poor technique and junior players lacking in strength.

I don’t think changing the coach is going to paper over these cracks. This squad needs another overhaul, and time.

It’s like people have no memory at all. Wane took years to put in place what he did at Wigan, starting lower in the coaching order, and working off Maguire did, then developing. There was no short term magic done. He went for decent money in union, and is already not succeeding, hence the desire to return.

Precisely ^^^^^

IF the rumours doing the rounds are true about Furner trying to rip everything up and starting afresh with his new ideas are true and that the players didn’t like/couldn’t cope with it are true, then what makes people think our current squad are going to be able to suddenly accept and cope with the demands Wane would put on them? They currently simply don’t have the appetite for the defensive demands Wane would want to introduce and like you say there is NO way our squad are going to be able to pick this up quickly.

Also people seem to have forgot about his time here as a player when he later admitted he had no desire to be here and his heart was never in it as he was simply Wigan through and through. I just don’t see him coaching here and if the players were shocked at Funer’s methods they would poop themselves at the demands Wane would expect of them

Next appointment has to be given 3yrs minimum and FULLY BACKED im hoping we get Flannagan or Griffin or as an outside bet Tony SMITH but it needs sorting asap.
This !00% backing Agar drivel is doing us no favours either.

What do we do? If the players are going to sulk and moan about anybody trying to change what needs changing, who do we hire? Somebody whos going to let them carry on the way they are? Mayswel keep Agar and continue to be garbage.

Any coach worth his salt is going to give this lot a kick up the backside because a good coach will see that its needed, if they didnt like it under Furner and if they wouldnt like it under Wane, theyr not going to like it under Flanagan, Demitriu, Powell, Marshall, Ford, Griffin or any other decent coach in the world.

Andrew johns made similar comments re the Panthers - its up to the players. In their game vs the Warriors he said they lost every collision and a really telling sign was that in almost every tackle they made one or more of their players was left on the ground as the ball was played. He reckoned that was a sure sign of lack of effort. Sounds remarkably similar to our efforts in recent times. .
