Why? Lowes is head coach now isn’t he, as I say coaches tend not to be great in France nt of the camera so letting Sinfield do it may be a selling point.

If the head coach isn't in charge of tactics and isn't in charge of picking the team then he's not really the person to carry the can for poor performance. However, that is exactly the setup at present. Unless that changes then I don't think any coach of high repute will want the job. The media stuff is neither here nor there BUT a current high-profile coach, or someone aspiring to be may see that as another big negative. However, GH said he'd review the setup at the end of the season, that might be a bit too late though.

James Lowes is very poor in front of the camera. It could well be that he himself asked not to do that particular role. If we bring in an experienced head coach Sinfield should not be speaking on his behalf, nor should he be involved in team selection, coaching etc. He has no proven ability on such matters and all it will do is undermine the coach. It could also be a reason for a potential head coach to turn us down.

No decent coach would want Sinfield or anyone else speaking for them - its part of the job.

I’m hearing Furner to be revealed as the new coach today.

Interesting. Presumably with Lowes as assistant.

I'd love to know what Lowes has on GH.

Would be underwhelmed unfortunately. Want someone who is proven in discipline and developing youngsters.

I'm very happy with that. Things will improve no end.

I was told last week that had offered Furner the job but he seemed to be wanting a higher wage to come over.

Furner knows the club is a very reliable steady guy but if I'm honest I wouldn't want another forward as coach. Just my opinion though.

Ive no problem with Furner tbh but i would hope he has at least a good ex HB/Back on his staff who is capable of instilling some new attacking ideas/structures

Furner was never just another forward, always a good footballer.

He had a very tactical mind - played a big role in us winning the 2004 GF

The next coach will not be appointed until we have confirmed a place in super league It will not be David Furner who I admire and would be a good choice. The new coach will be an even better choice and will be the best coach in super league.

Moley via twitter thinks different & his strike rate is 95% ish bang on.

Who is he saying will be our coach ?

But Sinfield is not good in front of the camera, his monatone voice comes over as a bit boring and his nervous interviews typically start with "Yeah...." followed by a lot of short meaningless phrases that do not reflect the reality. To keep pretending 'we have made giant strides' and 'we have improved the attitude of the players' is simply not borne out by the performances on the field. I would have expected more honesty.

If we do recruit a top coach the supporters will want to hear him speak directly and to be fair most Ozzie coaches are intelligent and verbally fluent.

Exactly and will also demand full control over recruitment and all aspects of the first team

Which I’m sure they will get, but given that the current incumbent struggles to string a sentence together without swearing, we have little choice right now.

Come on we all know Sinfield is really the head coach now with Lowes as assistant.

I’m not sure any head coach gets full control over recruitment in any sport. I can see that they would put together a “shopping list” but they don’t get to dictate who is signed, unless they are Pep Guardiola...

Will be the best coach in super League ! Does that mean he's already in Super league ? Or the new coach WILL Become the best coach in Super League ?

Who is it?

Furner on a 3 year deal. Sinfield and Lowes are both stopping on in roles too... https://www.therhinos.co.uk/2018/09/08/ ... g-in-2019/
