What is needed here isn't harder work on the training field its smarter work on the field. JJB ethic is all about hard work and commitment not quality and skill level. The former will not deliver the latter. Most 22 year olds with a modicum of intellect can see that. Leeds are losing games because they play dumb rugby - JJB has been an integral part of the preparation of the players who have delivered that dumb rugby.

So what’s your solution, sack JJB aswell?

We needed an interim coach who’s your suggestion. You’re talking as if JJB is the clubs answer when it’s clearly not, they are looking for s new head coach and you can’t magic one out of thin air.

Why not wait until he’s been in charge for a bit rather than a.writing him off and B. Guessing what young players think of him.

You couldn't write it Christopher could you. Some of what i am reading on here is laughable.

We shouldn't sack JJB lol.
I think a lot of fans ( myself included) are worried the same mistakes will happen again and that we will be here again next season with the same coaching / player/ squad issues and deficiencies.

So seeing JJB promoted and the rumoured list of replacements being OK to meh is frustrating many.

I'd love to JJB develop into an excellent coach,but that takes time and would be helped by being understudy to a good or great coach.
It won't be helped if he's in charge of Leeds before he's ready

JJB is the interim coach, people are talking about it as if he’s the new long term head coach.

Who would you have put in charge in the interim?

And who would you want as Head Coach that isn’t on this rumoured list?

Im as worried as any one by the way but will give JJB s chance before writing him off

There is no one else to fill the interim position. It was always going to be him. I just hope we get someone in to take over, if that means JJB is coach this season,all we need to do is not get relegated.
It's after this season that worries.

Ward,McGuire,Vowles,etc. Very few mentioned could be considered top drawer. Some stink of straight up bottom draw/ cheap option.
We have been "rebuilding" for what feels like 7 years now and we are still waist deep in that process. It has to start moving forward and we need to move towards being a top 4 club.

We don’t even know if that ‘list’ is genuine so it’s pointless assuming were going for a cheap/bottom drawer option. We can’t do anything but wait and see who get’s the job, even then we don’t know it’ll be a flop or not.

The problem with these ‘rebuilds’ is nothing is guaranteed, it’s utterly frustrating i admit.

Agreed regarding the authenticity of the list(s) , just saying that real or not they don't really sound that good.

I'm hoping the players will buck up and start playing with some effort and heart.

I just hope we don't stick in a rut again.
With hindsight Brian should have gone sooner.
With hindsight Agar should have done so too, especially so given he wasn't meant to be a long term solution. Just hope that interim coach JJB doesn't become a permanent fixture in the absence of a proper plan.

Well said.

Some people really do over react if you say anything negative.

JJB has been a great servant to Leeds, hes passionate and enthusiastic. He played a much bigger part in our success than given credit for. He was a key man. He deserves huge credit as a kid in having the brains and foresight to follow Sinfield and not go down a different path as some others did in the academy in those times did. I really respected Jamie for that and always have until recent times. Hes not my cup of tea as a person these days, i cant take him seriously, I genuinely cant listen to him. Thats my own personal issue but I hope he can get us playing in the short term.

I really think the last thing this current team needs is to be constantly reminded of how the golden generation did it. They are under enough pressure as it is.

I’ll be happy if I never have to hear the word ‘middle’ again from a coach. Just so lazy and unimaginative……..
