I'd love Noble as a number two, I think he has a good rugby brain but he'll never coach at Leeds as 1. he hates us and 2. what he allegedly said to Peacock when he left bradford

When/where has Nobby ever said he 'hates leeds'?

From what I've heard in the past (and just read on George Riley's BBC blog) Noble would be keen to have a crack at the Leeds gig - and why wouldn't he? He's a super ambitious coach

Now - whether he'd be 'wanted' at Leeds is a different matter altogether...only GH knows the answer to that

Take it from me Nobby hates Leeds.
I would doubt for one minute he would state that publicly nor would he turn down a job working at Leeds if an offer came around providing he couldn`t get a better offer elsewhere.

Don't know that he hates us, but I've always got the impression when he's commentating, that it really sticks in his throat when he has to say something favourable about Leeds.

This is what I'm getting at - all this talk that 'Nobby would never take the leeds job' is wide of the mark. He, like players, has a 'professional' take on the game rather than the parochial outlook we fans have.

From what I heard - if Brian Mac hadn't been handed the gig on a plate - Nobby would have put his hat in the ring, in a flash. Whether this is a good thing, is a different story altogether...

Anyway - back on topic:

Burrow to the Bulls? With DM out injured until mid-summer, I can't see it happening. Going into a new season without your starting halves from the past few years (through injury/transfers) would be a risk I'm not sure Leeds would take - especially as seeing as though there can't be many quality replacements available at this stage (unless of course GH is going to splash the Canterbury/Eastwood cash).

Obviously I don't see Leeds as much as you lot, but I honestly think that Leeds would be a frightening prospect with a proper organising 7 alongside Danny McGuire.

Replacing Burrow with such a player could see Leeds step up a level IMO.

Hang the feck on!

McGuire out until mid summer? When did this happen!! I thought he was out until April.

I'm with you.

See my summary on the 'Burrow to Cas' thread. He has had a season too long at Leeds already IMO.

Wait up. That was a slip. Sorry!

I had heard a rumour that he was going to be out of action beyond April - but this is just hearsay* - and not really 'news' as with any serious injury, as we all know, 'return' dates can shift over time.
