We just need to get some hard running and durable forwards in and sort out the scrumhalf position and we should look loads better going forward

Does this mean we have somebody lined up or will it be Chev until the end of the season ?

Chev is unfortunately part of the problem

Nice guy, rubbish coach

Hopefully Blease has got someone lined up already.

Re: Smith has left the building : Wed Jun 19, 2024 4:32 pm  

It's the right decision for the club and for Rohan himself we couldn't have gone on any further with him as head coach.


How many times are we gonna be in this position though the next man coming in has to be right it's been said for the last 6 or 7 years now.

I'd personally like either Paul Rowley, Brad Arthur or Justin Holbrook from the realistic candidates that are available

Re: WHO IS NEXT : Wed Jun 19, 2024 4:35 pm  

With Blease now in place we are only looking for someone to coach the first team, I'd be happy with Arthur even if it's just for a couple of seasons. The SD can then ensure succession as needed. Quality required not longevity.

I'm glad this is the only social media thing I have. People do really need to take a good look at l themselves. Good luck Rohan hope you find success.

Whoever it is we need someone with proven quality and skilled at integrating / bringing the kids through the ranks with good skills.

Honestly I'd prefer Arthur out of him,JD and Rowley

Re: WHO IS NEXT : Wed Jun 19, 2024 4:57 pm  

Im not convinced Rowley is the right choice. But ultimately that’s now Bleases call and he knows him better than most

Re: WHO IS NEXT : Wed Jun 19, 2024 5:00 pm  

Brad Arthur, he knows how to develop teams, players and has great connections to the NRL so we can bring the right players over, not those like we have for the last however many years. Has no prior connection to the club so cuts all ties with the Rhinos DNA BS and the jobs for the boys stuff. No bad coach coaches NRL with the same team for 11 years.

He'd be my pick.

I've thought since we signed Croft and Ackers that Rowley would be the next coach. Now that Blease is on board it does seem the logical outcome. However, if Arthur were to come he'd be the first bona-fide head coach from the NRL in a long, long time. Would be a major statement of intent. Ultimately, there are pros and cons with either. Would be less happy with JD given the fall out at Souths.
