i thought it was a huge gamble. he is certainly a person who divides opinion, certainly the bulls players disliked him intensely, never passing to him if they didn't have too

If we're putting forward some 'out there' candidates, what about Stuart Lancaster? He's built a great reputation in Union over the last few years, and is a fan of RL with ties to club.

I haven’t said anything on this matter yet and just been looking and listening.
I am genuinely gutted for Furner, this wasn’t his fault at all. He hasn’t been in control at all. Sinfield for me is the problem and Hetherington. As much as Sinfield is a legend he is doing what Peacock did at Hull and what Cunningham at St Helens. He has orchestrated huge signings but not sorted the rest of the team. Put doubts in other players heads by pretty much putting them on the market. Our main issue is weak defence, not even weak, horrendous. Under 14’s could get through. We have never been a club to throw money at problems. But in recent years the decisions have been terrible. Our Golden generation has never been replaced just lived in shadow of. Most of our players don’t deserve to pick up their wage never mind be in the team. But letting Furner take the rap is sad. Personally I would like a British coach. Throwing money at this problem isn’t going to sort it out, we need to go back to basics and players need to want to proud to wear the Leeds shirt again. Danny Ward is a good option, Wane is a great coach but our style doesn’t match, Marshall would be ok on a short term as the resources he has he are far better than we he has had, so maybe he could thrive. Agar is ok as an assistant but his past record shadows him. I love this club but things need to change, lastly, not even phoning Lilley to say he wouldn’t be extended is completely unfair and out treating of Golding. Also if we lost to Bradford today and that is a big possibility, proves that relegation is not that far.

You say the Sinfield and hetherington are the problem not Furner, then say defence is our biggest problem, well that's Furners fault he coached theside and the appalling defence.
Golding has been treated appallingly but thats due to Furner point blank not wanting him, back in the side today chance to stake his claim.

There is very little possibility we will lose to Bradford, win by 40 + points. Reagation was looking a real possibility under Furner hence he has been removed. Awfull coach, he will never get a head coaches Job ever again outside Aussie park football.

Well said

Re: New Head Coach - who's it going to be? : Sat May 11, 2019 11:17 am  

How as Golding been treated appalingly? There has been poorer treatment of Luke Briscoe and Owen Trout if you look at it from that angle. If you are not good enough to break in you are not good enough. You can’t just get a shirt because you are part of the payroll. I suggest some posters ought to get down watching a Fev game to see if there is any foundation to these claims.

Golding was dropped before Furner even came in. Lowes made that decision first and was confirmed by Sinfield after, then Furner.

What I want to know is Argar`s dept ,, " Player and coach Development " How is it going? When do we see his work come to fruition?

Exacally, the only difference today was our attack was as crap as our defence.
