If really pushed I think GH would go for JJB ,in house and had a stab at it once and did ok cheap as chips and familiar with fans covers all bases. Job done ✔️.

I would agree with that - shows the level of ambition the club had that they even gave him a short time in charge in the hope it would work.

After his treatment of Furner no wonder we can't attract a quality coach from down under. I would be seriously looking at Lee Briers - he could be a game changer.

I hate to say it but Sir Kev is to blame for some of the current problems at the club

Maybe we would have a decent coach in Dave Furner if JJB hadn't gone whinging to Sinfield and GH ?

Cant believe sone people actually think this, rose tinted glasses Or what. Furner was terrible and on the way to being worse than Dean Lance, lance should have gone after 10-12 games not well into following season.

This is my my biggest fear for RS, what happens after next year if have only won 3-4 out if first 10?

Briers has done a remarkable job with the Broncos attacking structures and plays without a doubt,
It is certainly no coincidence that they are currently joint top of the NRL table and are playing with such an expansive style of football,He was always a heads up type of player and he has certainly instilled that ethos into the Broncos.

Would Briers leave the Broncos for the head coaching role at Leeds if it suddenly became available though?

I'm not sure that the pull of being the head coach of the Rhinos is on the top of everyone's list of dream jobs anymore.

The life experience that he and his family are currently experiencing in Brisbane is probably a dream job that they will all make the most of before he ultimately heads home for the head coaching role at either Warrington,Wigan or Saints down the track IMO

Briers is doing a great job and will definitely make a great head coach learning his trade in the Nrl people have noticed him and will probably get a gig there, he's no
no doubt on more money now than GH is willing to pay.

I agree with all the above especially the points about Leeds not having the pull it once did and life experiences. Brisbane is a great city and better for not being on the coast. It has a great laid back atmosphere and is sporting centric. Briers will make a great coach somewhere can see him ending up at Saints.

Re: Where do we go from here : Tue Aug 15, 2023 6:40 am  

No way will Briers come to Leeds.
In a couple of years he will probably have his pick of either Saints, Wire or Wigan.
Not all three of those can be successful, so I can see a couple of them losing patience with the coach, especially given the recruitment they are doing.
They are all far more ambitious than Leeds.
We are settling for mediocrity right throughout the club at the moment.

I don't see how sacking the coach is going to help the current situation, other than to further plunge the club into more instability.

If GH wanted to keep JJB in charge what was stopping him doing it last season?

Rohan Smith was given a long term appointment and I haven't seen any evidence that suggests the club or GH are changing their minds on this. The recent issues over the squad are clearly nothing to do with Smith, so I'm not sure why sacking him has suddenly come on to the agenda for some fans.

Re: Where do we go from here : Tue Aug 15, 2023 9:35 am  

because there is no set style of play, no game plans, nothing. we look like a set of strangers thrown together.
top and bottom he was the cheap option. again. more of the same next season
