Yeah, agreed.

Everyone would like to watch an entertaining free flowing team that win trophies. Both Mac and Waney produced the goods over a period of time with their clubs but both get slated for producing one dimensional rugby. Give them credit for winning the silverware over the years.
If Leeds are contesting finals over the next 3 years people will forgive the employed style.

The next two or three years will be rebuilding. Would have been done smoother and almost finished if we had started in 2016.

yeah, it was crap that bloody 2017

Re: Dave Furner - New Head Coach : Sun Oct 28, 2018 2:13 pm  

The point stands. Yes,winning was good but it led to another year of postponing replacements in players and coach.
It was obvious to everyone but BMD and GH that at the end of 2015 we were coming to a huge rebuilding phase and should start it asap.
Instead they continued with poorer replacements,low spending and extensions for ageing players.
How many times since 2015 have we been in the bottom half and fighting near relegation? Two out of three?

I read in an article about Bennett signing with South's that Furner was their plan B if Bennett didn't sign, but Furner put them on the spot needing an answer last week.
He's coming over here with his son, but his wife and girls are staying in Sydney, hence why he would have taken the South's job if offered - and given those circumstances, I don't see how anyone could begrudge him doing that.
I know he'll be super committed whilst he's here, but it's clear to me, he'll be back in Aus ASAP

Well, to be honest if we get a year or two out of him while we have time to line up someone else, he’ll still do a job. I’m sure he’ll be straight with Leeds if he needs to go back to Aus.

Re: Dave Furner - New Head Coach : Sun Oct 28, 2018 7:08 pm  

Just hope he gives us notice and not a two weeks before a season starts

Re: Dave Furner - New Head Coach : Sun Oct 28, 2018 7:14 pm  

I don't think there is too much to worry about. Furner been out of a top NRL job for 5 years so why would he suddenly be inundated with offers all of a sudden now? If he works miracles with us over the next 2 years then yes, i'm sure they will be chasing him hard and that's to be expected whoever comes over from OZ.

He’s coming with his son in November, and apparently the rest of the family arrive early December, or that is what social media seem to think.
