The next Rhinos coach should be
Posted: Thu Jul 05, 2018 6:47 pmJust to gather popular opinion on here.
Who do you all want to see as the next long term coach of the club?
To keep it simple if you like you could name your choices in a 1,2,3 order,or even go into detail as to why you believe that your choice would be the best at handling our transition in order to take our club back to being the best and most successful club in SL for another "Golden Generation"
My choices are:
1:Dave Furner
He has done his apprenticeship in the NRL and has studied under some of the games best coaches
IMO he is ready to show his talents as a head coach again after his tough spell at the Raiders.
Furner also impressed the Rhinos hierarchy with his professionalism and attitude during his spell at the club and that will be an important factor when they compile their list of potential candidates
2:Jason Demetriou
Another coach who has had a very successful coaching career in the NRL lower leagues since his retirement as a player,I don't envisage that he will land a top gig in the NRL so maybe a top job in SL would be his best option
He is also relatively young and is also very hungry to be given a chance to be a head coach
He must have surely picked up a lot of the skills and techniques required from the forefront of the NRL during his time over there in each of his roles
3:Daryl Powell
Daryl has had a previous experience of being head coach at the club and brought numerous players through from our academy that ultimately went onto be part of our "Golden Generation".
Admittedly he was relieved of his duties and was replaced by Tony Smith before the glory years finally came,but IMO Daryl can take great credit for the work he did prior to TS's appointment,Gary Hetherington knows full well that Daryl has now matured as a coach and he will undoubtedly be high up on his list of preferred candidates
Would he ever leave Cas and come back?
I'm not sure as he has turned the Tigers into genuine GF winners and has them up in the top 4 yet again despite all of their injuries.
Surely Powell would like to see a return for his investment there?
If he did come back then he would obviously need a "Witness protection scheme" to keep him safe from the Tigers fans baying for his blood
