The article on the Rhinos website is very interesting. Reaching out further into the amateur game to better prepare coaches and therefore young players, and possibly most importantly for the next season, a new strength and conditioning coach.



Good stuff Kevin.

Much needed.

having Kevin in charge for the last few weeks has opened his eyes. he's certainly being ruthless which is great after the last few years

Seems he wasn’t joking when he said there would be changes behind the scenes, Sinfield was meticulous as a player and I’m sure he will be in this role.



I’m going to give GH some credit as he’s obviously putting a lot of trust in Kev and letting him get on with it.

Director of Rugby: Kevin Sinfield

Head Coach: David Furner

First Team Coaches: James Lowes, Chev Walker

Team Manager (Operations): Jason Davidson

Physiotherapist Team: Alex Morrell, Gareth Robinson

Head of Physical Performance: Chris Black

Head of Analysis: James Bletsoe

Head of Player and Coach Development:

Masseur: Steve Clegg, John Stevenson

Equipment Manager: Glynn Bell

Head of Medical: Al Jones

Sports Scientist: Dan Weaving

Nutritionist: Debbie Smith



I’m guessing that’s how we stand now then.

From the announcement it appears Davidson has become the kit man?

All really good changes and very pleased.



Still think Furners coaching support looks light with chev and Lowe's but perhaps that will change once furner sees what he has and what he needs.

There's already an "equipment manager". I read it more as "man who books the team bus"

I think Davidson is lucky to survive the re-organisation at all, probably the most unfit looking conditioner I have ever seen

he gets slagged off but we've won plenty of grand finals with him as conditioner, including 12 months ago

Did we win it or did Cas bottle it? I take your point though, but his methods have got tired as the squad stopped pushing on for better/higher/faster...

we won it.

I don't think macdermott flogging players or playing injured players helped him, however it was time for a change. possibly it got to comfortable for him and the players
