What's Graham Murray doing in town? : Sat Apr 18, 2009 6:11 pm  

See he's at the Huddersfield v Rhinos game - long way to go to watch a team that sacked him

As mentioned in the commentary, he is here for a 1999 Challenge Cup reunion dinner with the Rhinos team from that year. Nothing more, nothing less

I don't recall Leeds sacking him, he was offered the job at the Roosters so left a year(?) earlier than he was contracted for IIRC.

Yeah it is convenient. Should have come two weeks later huh???

Oh like Asim said, he wasn't sacked. He was, and still is, held in very high regard at headingley.

HTH

As others have observed, he was not sacked. I've never heard anyone at Leeds speak bad of him, and understandably so. For me, he was one hell of a coach.

Suspect you are getting mixed up with the muppet Lean Dance?

Now Dean Lance was a muppet. You are right. Heard he liked basketball players though!

If your chairman uses his loaf, he should tap him up and get rid of the bloke you currently have impersonating a coach !!
