Coaches aren't on the salary cap.

Think you misunderstood. I read on here recently we didn’t have the financial resources to spend the full amount on players wages due to money being spent elsewhere rather than on the field,

I wonder if the club could actually replace Tony Smith with Tony Smith (Our previous head coach) for 2025?

That's me totally guessing by the way,But IMO he could be the ideal fit to be the head of our clubs academy

Chev's socials now state '' Academy Head Coach at Leeds Rhinos and player transition and development facilitator"

Does that mean Tony Smiths gone?

Maybe Langley is being groomed as head coach when Arthur inevitably departs these shores he gets good reviews and when playing was an ultimate professional.

Unless he's seen as Reserves Head Coach?

It doesn't take much thought to know it's utter bollox though, does it?

It's pretty well documented that we are utilising all the available allowances/ loopholes in order to spend over the cap. Was it 600k over? Arthur won't have come cheap either. I don't think it's a lack of finances or ambition. It's the output of the spending that is very much open to question based on recent seasons.

Arthur doesn't seem to have done much media since the season ended. I'm interested that Blease seems to be doing most of the articles / interviews. Not reading too much into it, but interested to hear BA's thoughts on the up coming pre-season.
