Who has Dunemann been coaching in Oz?

I see what you are saying here and in part agree. However could he be another Willie Poaching et al who turn out to be great servants and add that little bit to the team thatwe have been missing?

He coached "Northern Pride" in the Queensland cup comp for a yr then last year he was assistant at Newcastle Knights.

That's who i'd liken the signing to rather than him getting compared to Ali.
Only time will tell how it turns out and although he's far from a "marquee" signing i think he could be decent for us but i still hope to see the likes of Pitts and Clarkson get more game-time this year.

Thanks, just found that out myself too.
Is that the Buderus connection again then?
He always seemed to me to be a player with a good head on his shoulders, could be just what we need to complement McDermott.

I don't know about the Buderus "connection" mate tbh but he was very highly thought of when he was here as aplayer and i agree with your last sentence completely and just to add he could add more creative spark to our halves.

Arguably personally less talented & slower than either Burrow or McGuire but made the most of his talent by using his nous.
Though he did cause anguish on occasion by running backwards, sideways & forwards like a headless chicken, confusing everyone including his teammates & himself it sometimes seemed.
Couldn't be faulted for commitment however.

He could, which is why I said I would support him if he did arrive, but wouldn't be dissapointed if he didn't.

Who's to say that Pitts and Stewart couldn't be Willie Poaching style players also if given the chance? Just because they are not pacific island guys does not make them any less worthwhile.

You could be right and he could end up been an absolute super star, but to me he is gamble that I would prefer to do with the youngsters if given the choice.

He was as instrumental as anybody in our 2004 success.

He has worked with the systems at Headingley. Was versatile enough to play 3 pivotal positions, and has worked with players currently in two of those roles.

Ditto!

Being.

If its that close then I would have thought Leeds would have held the squad annoucement back a few days until this one is complete. It does issue a slight doubt.

warren jowitt according to todays papers

Stevie Wonder?

In League Express or League Weekly I forget which one, Jowitt denies it.

i would rather have a previous "back" as assistant coach to brian mcd tbh
i would have been happy if the dunneman rumour was true as i believe he could bring some inventednous<bouncebackability> to the team

Thank god for that

I've just tried to look again at the squad no.s on the Leeds website and can't find them! Am I going mad or has the article been removed??

I for one hope the Jowitt rumour isn't true.

He's not got the greatest reputation for looking after the kids coming through the ranks in the lower leagues. Very much a chew em up and spit them out attitude, which won't help attract or keep the local youngsters. Working as an assistant might mean he doesn't have as much influence on the kids, but i would still prefer to stay clear. We want an environment where we can nurture the young players, not crush their confidence if they have a bad week - that's the fans job....

Ryan Sheridan.

What about him?

Wilkinson is available again.

Do you think he'd come back?
I'd have him back doing the u20's and 3rd assistant straight away.

Looks like it won't be Dunemann afterall and the search goes on! www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/s ... 6623030.jp
