Re. cost we've no idea what he'd want or what his current position is, as well as the level of his involvement...if he came as a troubleshooter/adviser he may be a lot more affordable than if he came as an assistant coach with a remit for say...defence. Plus none of us knows what's happening with Toronto and/or how quickly the situation may change there regarding new owners etc

I just think in our position it's an idea worth pursuing & conversations worth having - an alternative to approaching JK to do a similar job

We got to do something the Coaching staff have lost there way big time .Think it's too late way behind every team in S L

Given we have limited funds and can’t be relegated suspect we will do very little

Cant see him getting any kind of wages from toronto at minute wilkin says hes not been paid since may so would think his contract is null and void and if he wants to keep his hand in and his hometown club in a better position why not try and get him on a part time consultancy basis cant be any worse prepared than we were last saturday so any help to chester should be considered

Love Marmite


Hate Brian Mc

I can see him ending up back at Headingley. .He knows the set up there and somehow Agar looks rather out of place, and I don't think his coaching style suits Leeds.

He's never spoken of Trinity in a good light and I don't think he'd settle here because of that. Strange attitude bearing in mind what a good servant their kid was to the club, or am I correct in thinking that The McDermott family fell out with Trinity for some reason?

Personally couldn’t give a monkeys who came in to help as long as they pointed us in the right direction again. Love em or loath em if they can help turn things around it’s a thumbs up from me .

sinfield won't let that happen, he inherited a quality Leeds side and twice had poor seasons, when he left complaints that the future players wasn't up to scratch done nothing but whinge at Toronto won just the single game against a young shudds side nothing else to shout about, Ward would be a better prospect

agree if it is the right price - we need to do something because what we have is not working

A lot of coaches have inherited quality teams (Saints, Wolves, Wigan) and not won a single GF, never mind 4 - I'd accept a couple of poor seasons if I was gonna get 4 x GF wins and a couple of CCs to boot

Last time I spoke to Paul he was still an ardent fan.

Agree

When I first watched Trinity it was with my brother, we were young and he was a bigger fan than me.

He stopped going about 20 years ago. The last game he attended was the 2006 relegation game and I swear he was quietly supporting Cas.

Hasn’t even bothered with the last two relegation deciders let alone any other game. Only ever brings up Trinity to take the mic or be snide about them.

Why I don’t know but family is no guarantee of loyalty to the same causes, even those you once shared.

Something Trinity did in the past offended young Brian and that will never alter. Whether that would affect him as our coach who knows. Oddly there is every chance it would be a good thing, a lack of emotion and an I’ll show them mentality might just do the trick and then again it might not.

Think I'm like a lot on here for my disapproval, even though I think CC desperately needs some impetus and input from somewhere..
I don't think we could afford him anyway so it's probably hypothetical.

Dunno probably on universal credit at minute so will be cheaper than our loaning of senior from shudds!!

Why not John Kear for a few months?

Because he’s the Bulls coach!

And? They're not playing either.

Oh come on. It’s always been the rule that players, coaches and owners can’t have an interest in more than one club.

You can loan players however as far as I know there is no mechanism to loan coaching staff. Kear would have to resign from Bradford, why would he do that?

I’d of thought an expert like you would know the rules.

Rules of course can be bent by the likes of Wigan but they would crucify us.

Dont think kear would come back for another stint now which is a shame cos we looked better with his input but cant see why mcdermott wouldnt do a similar job suppose we will see what happens after cup game tomorrow if carter decides chester needs to go or get some help in

James Webster is Leeds assistant coach while also serving as Fev head coach.

I know John Kear is contracted but so is McDermott

If hes not been paid contract should be null and void so a free agent

It’s all good and well suggesting a DOR or an assistant but there’s one massive stumbling block and that’s Chester would he really want Someone of MACs calibre stepping in ? Personally I think it’s a great idea but I’m not sure who , there’s not many out there who would fit the bill as DOR but plenty of assistants and just because there local dosnt mean they would be any better or any more loyal
