Maybe. Reading between lines I think he may be but that there's scepticism about the seriousness.

Just listened to JJB again. I can’t stop smiling when he speaks. Think that’s a good thing. He uses a lot of complex words, that don’t think he actually knows the meaning of, but has probably heard them in the church surmons we know he loves. Amongst all the gobbledygook he does actually give some really honest and clear insights into what’s going on behind the scenes, and it’s really refreshing to hear. The last coach who was so blunt and honest was Brian Mac. Now I know JJB won’t be head coach, but I definitely want to see him at our club for a long time as he’s a legend and inspiration…..

Even though the jar was open last night our fleas just couldnt quite jump out of it could they? The rusty shopping trollies remain at the bottom of the canal i fear.

In 1926 when Keighley won the cup yeah i read it in a book yeah that they had this scrum half called John the Baptist yeah n what he did what he did yeah was show fortitude, appitude, malieptitude and hisplanitude yeah and what he did yeah was he got his whole team to put their hands in a fire in a raging furness that kind of gave them this fortitude yeah and thats what we need yeah. And im from Bramley yeah and thats what im gonna do.

That’s because you are a radio obsessed Cas fan ?

Ha. Only right on one count!

I always knew you had a telly?

I do. Just don’t know how to work/tune it!

Don't forget, they put some old tat from home in a bin and set light to it then made a mould of jesus out of the ashes. Then thi stroked is ed when thi cem outtat sheds.

It's all opinions isn't it, but I profoundly disagree with you on this one. JJB is one of the coaches directly responsible for the current state of affairs. It's not like he walked through the doors last week. He has no business being anywhere near a leadership position in a sporting organisation that should aspire to be world class. If he wants to be a coach he needs to start far lower down the ladder and earn it (as he undoubtedly did as a player). Agar did the the honorable thing in stepping down and if JJB wants to trigger the kind of cultural change that he is forever wittering on about he should also step down at the end of his hopefully brief caretaker stint. Sorry for ranting.

That result means this is our worst start to a season since 1899.

As for JJB, I understand he was the only viable choice right now, but he needs to be gone as soon as possible. As you say Arthur, he's been around this complete collapse of the club both as a player and then a coach. We need root and branch change. No more acceptance of mediocrity from top to bottom.

That sounds like a JJB line

But thats a clear sign of fortitude, apptitude and ineptitude surely? Its shows the players are keen to put their heads above the parapit while going down the proverbial foxhole to show fortitude that burns in a raging furness like Jesus Christ called for on the streets of Belle Vue when Wakey little Wakey won the Yorkshire Cup in the face of such adversity in 1898. And thats what everyone in Bramley, the big apple of Leeds, says Leeds needs right now.

JJB is bringing out the inner preacher in us all.
‘And then JJB said to his disciples , ‘Wuk ard lads’ and they thanked him for it and were merry…..’

The situation is Shi#e. We have no guarantee of a win in the next 5 games, the next 5 games the opposition will also note that playing Leeds is a game they can win. Last night we had little or no idea, we were way off the pace, 5 try’s to none and they bombed another 3/4 try’s. Clueless.
Am I correct in saying that Furner, ( like him or not) said we need to get rid of the shi#e so they got rid of him. No one could make up this crap. The rebuilding of the team continues for the seventh year, and we are no further forward, in fact we are going backwards at an alarming rate.

We do have some good players. Sadly some of our best are injured, and its just highlighted how awful some of the others are. The new coach needs to identify those just not up to it, and also those who are just toxic, and look to move them on as soon as possible. Sadly we can't buy our way out of this mess, so we'll have to milk the garbage along for some time. But cards need to be marked and no more second chances, or re-signing "good lads" or players who have just been around a long time.

Between JJB elaborated pressers he did say they need to separate the wheat from the chaff it was obvious what he meant

Our lack of depth means we can't just drop half the team. The problem is the 'chaff' know they don't have to perform to keep getting picked. All we can do is try to remember these games and individual non-performances when it comes time to renew contracts, but its going to take a couple of seasons to winkle out all the hangers on unless we can do some deals at the end of the year or threaten some players with ending their Leeds careers in the reserves.

He's going to bake 5 loaves and feed the five thousand at the next home game?

You’ll need to know a secret handshake to get into next home game …

It`s come to something when we are hoping we can get a few wins against bottom 6 teams and not get relegated.
Whilst we have squad fillers who wouldn`t normally get in the 17 if all our players were fit.
We have enough class out there to be top 6.
The fact we are struggling has got to be down to the coaching.
We live in the past and give jobs to the boys and the boys pick their mates Briscoe and Sutcliffe spring to mind where JJB is concerned.
A new coach needs to get rid of the likes of JJB, Walker, Long and insist Agar does not get the DOR role.
They then need to get rid of the players who offer nothing and rebuild for the 7th year in a row.
Only then can we move forward and forget the golden generation.
It happened we enjoyed it but it was a long time ago.
Lets try and look forward and hope the 7th year of asking delivers the goods.

If you believe the rumours, JJB seriously undermined Furner when he was at the club. Furner got sacked because JJB is Kev's best mate of course. If and when the new coach is installed then JJB should be the first one out of the club, followed closely by Long, oh and that guy who seems to have a job for life at Leeds, Davidson.

I’m sick and tired of the phrase “Rhinos DNA” and the constant harking back 5 years to 2017 for the hurrah of it and 7 years since the end of the ACTUAL “Rhinos DNA” is laughable.

These players need to create their own legacy and battle stories, shoving the exploits of players from 7+ years ago down their throats isn’t helping anyone or anything, leave that period where it belongs, in the past and unsullied.

In Know what your saying, but when you’ve been as successful as that there is definite things that can and should be passed on…..
The current lot need all the inspiration they can get!

The things that should have been passed on left the building in 2017 when the last of the golden generation retired. All the current bunch can pass on is mediocrity. I don't think constantly referring to the golden generation will inspire the current crop. Just adds pressure to a group that need to remember why they started playing the game in the first place

I’m really not sure the whole living on past glories thing is true. I’m more practical and think we have a lack of quality and depth, horrendous injury runs year after year , awful luck re-our best player and leader (Ward) and the most promising young player we had (Walker)
