Didn't he go back to NZ only last month?

Can’t blame Thompson for retiring if it’s due to his concussions. Runour has it that Leeds were paying most of Thompson’s wages. With Baitieri coming in I think we replace like for like in terms of experience. Not a huge loss for me based on what I’ve seen this season. Just the experience which hopefully Lawrence, Baitieri and Segeyaro bring anyway.

Is Donaldson featuring much for Leeds? He'd be the kind of player I'd like to see back, he ran his blood to water versus Fax.

Why would Leeds pay some of Bodene’s wages? He was out of contract at end of last year so absolutely no reason to pay anything????

I [ithink[/i Thompson has a job working with the Rhinos Foundation alongside playing for us part time.

I see Connor Wynne is in the reserves this week. Will be interesting to see how he goes.

Thompson is in the 21-man squad for Sunday, so he's not exactly rushing out of the door...

Bodene has worked with the Bulls Foundation this season. as has AJ.

Give it to Nobby icon_wink.gif

The way things are going would we be happy with Greenwood/Nobby at the helm for the rest of the year?

Not at all greenwood has said multiple times he doesn’t want it Nobby Dosent want to even make his role official you would have to hope and pray interim coach can bring players in for 2024 coach… ultimately new coach needs own players not recruiting in November

Featherstone announcing Leon Pryce and Martin Roden leaving their roles.

Hopefully not pryce he’s the Steven Gerard of rugby league

Well Stevie won the league unbeaten with Rangers, and beat their rivals home and away. That sounds pretty nice.

It's easy though when your assistant manager takes all the coaching sessions and picks the strategy.

Wasn't so good when he lost that said assistant.

Eamonn O'Caroll linked in the media
Catalans assistant coach
Was at Newcastle for 2 years.

Not sure how I feel about that one

I'd be livid if we got O'Carroll when we're assembling a decent squad. Didn't exactly pull up any trees at Newcastle.

Would anyone have pulled up trees at Newcastle? Surely he's learnt something while he's been assistant to Steve Mc

3 years assistant at Catalans
I don't think we can get better than a SL assistant coach
Newcastle went FT and back to PT so didn't have chance to build a settled squad.

Nobby & Greenwood until the end of the year.

Hands up if you're shocked!?!

Such a poor call…we can’t really retain/ majorly recruit for 2024 as you don’t know who the incoming coach will want… we never ever learn

Unless Noble is waiting to see how we go on if we get to the play off's as to whether he will step up and put his name to the job for 2024...
Fail miserably and its "well I was just helping out" get to the MPG and it's "Brian Noble is your 2024 coach"
