Last December's floods provided the ideal chance for GH to dispose of the body! Why didn't I see it before??

He was too busy disposing the body of season 2016 instead?

Umbridge?
Is that where the "Urchers" is located?
Or is the use of that selection of letters your dead cat on the table tactic?

My understanding is as follows:

Sinfield was discussing his future with GH and suggested his future was more in sports admin than in coaching and his ideal job would be CEO of Leeds Rhinos. GH took umbridge and the two fell out.

Soon after Sinfield was at a press conference saying how much he wanted to play RU!!

Since his retirement has he been seen at Leeds - no - very strange for a club that prides itself on looking after players who have been loyal to the club - read into that what you will. You would have thought he would be an ideal person to support the side during the dark days of 2016?

Kevin sits behind me in the Carnegie Stand hospitality at Rhinos games with Barrie Mc, Lowesy and Redpath. His mum and dad Ray and Beryl still attend Rhino games on regular basis even tho Kevin no longer plays.

There was no fallout whatsoever in fact Gary basically got him the job with the RFL after it was evident that the role he wanted at Leeds wasnt available.

Surely not!!!! Surely the imaginary story which conveniently happens to once again pour scorn on the club must be true???

A job at the RFL is not GH's to give to anyone, is it?

Unless GH runs the RFL?

Re: 2017 | Gary Hetherington Thread : Mon Jan 02, 2017 7:45 pm  

The job with RFL wasnt his to give but he wanted him to stay in league when big money jobs with Stuart Lancaster in Union was the alternative so GH pushed RFL to create a role which has done.

Interesting. I'm not sure what the situation is at the club. We can all see how much we miss the leadership of Kev and JP. Let's be honest it's huge. In my opinion (and that's all it is) to make the transition easier surely a deal could have been struck to have JP and Kev close to the team for the next couple of years after 2015. Seems crazy now that the two both walked away. Maybe long term it will turn out to be the right call.

I'm sure some of you have heard it before but it's new on me. In the U.S they have a saying along the lines of "it's easy being a Monday morning quarterback". I know I'm guilty of this.

Propaganda optimism or a state of intent?

Re: GH letter/email : Wed Jan 04, 2017 4:35 pm  

I suspect you already know the answer to that but it's is of course optimistic propoganda. I remember a similar open letter last year, that didn't turn out so well.

Oh, and the frickin cheek to try get people to spend more money by trying to increase travelling support. I know it's his job but jeez, isn't he getting enough out of us already.
