Kevin Sinfield joins as defence coach

Post by CJ »

BBC reporting that Leeds Rhinos rugby league legend has joined as our defence coach. Sounds good to me!

For those who don't know too much about Kev - there is a good video available on Amazon Prime called "As good As It Get's" about the rise of Leeds Rhinos and Kev's role.

Let's hope he's from the Shaun Edwards school of brilliant defence coaches, interesting times for sure.

Potentially, this could be the key to projecting Tigers into Top 4 contenders next season. Sinfield clearly has the pedigree to be a top class Rugby union coach and if he'll be as influential as Shaun Edwards then the good times will return to Welford Road sooner than expected!

Being as good a defence coach as Sean Edwards would be a big ask.

How England let him go to France is bewildering.

I wasn't a fan of Mitchell joining as defence coach but he has built on what Gustard start well to be fair. England have some issues to iron out but the defence by and large is excellent.
