Tony Smith asked Leeds for the job before Agar was appointed. He really wanted to come back to work with Sinfield but Kevin had already offered it to Agar.

At that time tho TS was only in a kind of temporary role at KR
I doubt he would leave KR now he has built his team there.

Maggsy needs head coach experience before becoming Leeds coach. Its crazy to suggest otherwise.

Has McGuire shown skill in coaching, or is he getting linked by fans because he used to play here? Things like "knowing the club" and other unmeasurable nonsense have no relation to coaching ability. This always seems to happen in football and it's so played out. Sentimental appointments never work in the long-term, coaching ability does.

The real trick, I think, is finding the new Tony Smith. A young, ambitious coach with fresh ideas about the game. Not sure if Ryan Carr is that man, but he does seem to fit the profile.

From what I have heard McGuire has really impressed at KR and is a natural. Obviously he has no head coach experience which possibly would count against him. However every head coach has to start somewhere.
I do think there have been some really good gambles in recent years on Australian assistant head coaches and that is why Carr would probably have an advantage.
I am sure the club will have an idea of of who they want. It might be a case of when he might be available.

No mate but know Kev, who told me. He met with TS who was only person he met with but within a week of sacking Furner Agar was his choice. TS rang very late in the process.

I doubt TS would leave KR now tho.

Ryan Carr seems a very able young coach but Leeds is a big job for anyone. Maggsy not for me at this time.

Ryan Carr, I think if I had a few more years of experience coaching the top division team would be a great opportunity to look at but has only managed Fev and been some form of assistant at West Tigers.

I'd have my eyes on Paul Anderson.

Not for me - there is a reason why he applies for every job out there and never gets one. Would be a good head of youth development
