There has been a lot of mud slung at McClennan and his time at Leeds, but his record speaks for itself, and he didn't do too bad a job with New Zealand either before that, so he must have something about him. If Cummins and Poching were the brains behind it, why did neither get the head coaches job at Headingley when it became available.

Coaching that Leeds team at the time would hardly have been rocket science............basically just get them fit and tell them to carry on doing what Tony Smith had already told them to do in previous years! I'll say this for Poching however Smith took him to Warrington so must rate him in some form.

They are only short listing this week anyway. No names guarenteed yet.
...........from what I've heard. I have no insider knowledge with anyone's cousin.

Does anyone know for sure who has/has not been interviewed for the job? I've got a funny feeling we'll end up with Cummings, which although not ideal, I could live with.

Latest comments from AG

'The coach is the next signing, should be in the next week (hopefully). Still a few to speak to, until it's confirmed'

So seemingly all those in the know, know more than the decision maker.

AG and JE can not be accused of rushing into it.

Happy hunting
