Nobody seems quite sure where Leeds Rhinos’ search for a new head coach will end up, perhaps not even Gary Hetherington, but the clock is ticking. Almost three weeks have passed since Richard Agar stepped down from the Headingley hot-seat after admitting his methods were no longer working.
“I just plainly and simply feel that I’ve not had a big enough impact on the team,” said Agar on March 21, the day his resignation was announced. "As head coach, looking at form and performances, I felt I needed to have a stronger impact on where we’re at and what we are turning out. Perhaps I have taken the team as far as I can and they may well need a fresh voice at this moment in time.
“I just feel that in the best interests of the team, and the club, that this change might help them to get out of the poor performances.”
