It was a good article. One thing he has to take responsibility for is the shambles the club had become outside the first team. He alludes to issues and having to replace all the backroom staff. Not all of that was down to the coach for sure.

Agree on Newman. I wouldn't be surprised if his attitude is a problem within the club as well as on the field. GH didn't sound like he's got a huge amount of time for him.

Newman could be a ticking time-bomb for the club next season if not handled carefully re: contracts. The recent criticism of Newman from Wane probably helps the club's agenda though.

We're in a strong negotiating position with Harry. He hasn't been able to get on the field with any consistency and as a result the realisation of his potential has only come in flashes. He's also not done himself any favours by making himself a bit of a target and laughing stock within the wider game. He just needs to get his head down, stay fit and perform. If he does that his future at the club, or away from it, will look after itself.

Newman will not be signing a new contract with us.

Lancashire bound perhaps?

Doubt it will be Wigan if Wane has anything to do with it.

He'd be lethal at Saints! Just need him to think that our new signings are capable of winning trophies!

Nene Macdonald playing for PNG next week, what a bizarre carry on

I hope we are fining the pants off him.
To think Smith gave him the opportunity possibly due to their friendship and he sticks two fingers up at his friend and the club.
Disgusting attitude to have.
Out of interest if he is still a Leeds player one would assume we are covering his insurance.
What if he gets a career ending injury?
