Rob is Reserves HC and Chev now coaching Academy.

Looks like we’ve got a new asst coach coming in soon.

Cheers for the info.

Interesting that although you'd want to provide a coaching pathway through the first grade ideally, I'm not totally convinced that the skillset required to coach U18s is the same as open age actually.

Anyway good luck to Rob with the Reserves and Chev with the academy - should be a strong season for both sides you would think/hope.

Happy with them appointments for sure. Interesting who comes in at assistant.

Also, glad nothing came of anything with Rob Burrow, although, they were obviously right in saying he’s left his role at the academy

JJB confirmed as full time assistant coach

Leeds gone cheap again with another unproven coach. Jobs for the boys.

Given we went cheap with Agar, I was hoping we might recruit an experienced assistant.

yep

Well lets face it you are highly unlikely to get an experienced high profile coach to come as an assistant to Agar

Not a reflection on JJB as a person but disappointed with this.

Despite obvious enthusiasm and an understanding of what a good Leeds culture looks like JJB has no experience. I can see a role for JJB in a coaching set up or as a player liaison type role but not as the assistant at this point in his or the teams development.

The coaching set up lacks experience and that is my biggest worry.

Not sure on this one but let's give the great man our backing and see where it goes.
