Reports in Wigan suggesting that Lam and his lad will be there in 2019, so perhaps that may increase the chances of Furner coaching Leeds next season.

How? LUFC have still been getting great crowds despite being rubbish, and the Rhinos still manage to be profitable.

If they were to get into the PL you can add 15-20k a game and as we all know the young ones are primarily interested in soccer - that will hurt Leeds RL - money can only go so far

Leeds averaged round about 29/30 thousand last couple of years. ground holds 38.

LUFC averaged 31k at home games last season, Elland Road only holds 38k, so even if they get promoted the gates won't be too different.

I'm convinced we will have an Aussie coach next year.
providing we are still in SL.....

Tad I am no way in the know here but I was told from someone closely connected to the club that Dave Furner was our next coach at least 4 weeks before Brian Mac was relieved of his duties and I was confident enough to post that info on social media

I hope that it's true
