I'd take Reynolds, arguably the best young half in the country.

Big rumour at minute, Leeds have offered Toovey a contract as assistant to McDermott. Toovey has NRL and Super League coaching offers.

That would be interesting should it be true & if Toovey does come.
But I don't see that McDermott likes to have people under him who could threaten his position.

Assistant to McDermott

. I bet NRL fans in Aus will be peeing their pants with laughter if that happened. Of course for us it would be excellent.

Would really like the London coach at Leeds, personally.

Not sure why he would come to us as an assistant unless he has been promised more in the next year.
If he has SL offers who could that be?
Wire, Wigan, Widnes, Catalan/Leigh if they stay up

Catalan would do well to get toovey in. Been watching there games since we signed myler and got to say theyr absolutely terrible. Mcnamaras got them playing some of the worst rugby iv ever seen. He's taken 5 drives and a kick to a new level,its like he's been brainwashed with the aussie style while in the nrl but without any of the intelligence or nuances that make it work for a decent coach. Im not a big fan of mcdermott but id have him over Mcnamara any day of the week.

Regards Toovey, i would sooner see him come in with his own team, new broom and a big thanks to Brian but 7 seasons at the helm is long enough for any coach.

Isn't that what was originally meant to happen with Mac and Bluey, Mac was gonna be assistant for a year and then take over but Bluey got word of it and jumped rather than being pushed?

Bluey is a legend.

spot on

his time was up though. very poor on the training pitch, in fact cummings and poching did the coaching, but what a motivator. the players loved him. in fact everywhere he's coached his players loved him. you can only motivate so long though.
same with brian mac, you can only listen to the same voice for so long no matter the success.

Yes and to be fair to him he saw the writing on the wall and went with no fuss, moved aside, let the next guy have a go.

His record speaks for itself though over the three years he was here.
