GH visits Australia most years on the lookout for players.
Think he`s missed his little jaunt these past few years though.

COVID has been a problem. Australia's borders only opened up very recently. He wouldn't have come looking for a coach had he visited this off-season in any event.

So, Hetherington is off to Australia to interview coaches.

Who do we want?

My choice - in order would be:

1 - Shane Flanagan
2 - Cameron Ciraldo
3 - Stephen Kearney
4 - Paul Green
5 - John Cartwright

UK wise - Shaun Wane as an absolute last resort.

Knowing us, we'll end up with Ian Millward or Tony Rae.

Reading club comments and media stuff it does seem more than likely your new coach will be an Aussie. Be interesting to see how quickly the successful candidate can be in place to how fast your season gets back on track because the current incumbent seems to be no better than his predecessor.

I think John Morris would be the perfect fit for Leeds. He is such an underated coach and dont forget, it was he that guided the sharks reserve team to the minor premiership. He also managed two 7th placed finishes in the NRL despite having no money to spend due to salary cap. It speaks volumes that when he was sacked, the senior players of cronulla wanted to go on strike.

It’s an important call, but there is far more factors to come into play to revive our fortunes. Possibly the only thing we fans can control is to keep the faith and keep turning up. ‘When the going gets tough….’ And all that.

Re: New Coach : Thu Mar 31, 2022 11:09 am  

It's being reported by Mat Shaw that Flanagan is out of running, wants NRL not SL at this stage.. not seen anything quote wise from Flanagan though..

Re: New Coach : Thu Mar 31, 2022 11:35 am  

Cartwright was poor as head coach (he was there when the party gang developed from whom we signed Beau Falloon), Kearney's record wasn't great and Green had no idea what to do when JT retired (a bit similar to Leeds post Golden Generation). Flanagan won the comp but there's a lot of suspicion over the peptide saga.

I'd rather go for an assistant coach who wants to prove themselves than one of the many failed head coaches around. Whether Ciraldo fits the bill or wants to move is another question.

Re: New Coach : Thu Mar 31, 2022 12:02 pm  

Kearney, absolutely no thanks, awful record as a club coach. Don’t know much about Ciraldo,
The rest not filling me with much confidence either.
Flanagan is the only one if real quality on that list, but a bit iffy and doubt he wants to cone over here.
