Leppa heads north

[Quack]

Leppitsch confirmed as Brisbane's new coach. Question is - will Dusty follow him to the Lions. Plenty of want-aways as potential trade bait.

 

[Tigertool]

Congrats to Leppa. He was highly rated by us from reports.


Dustin won't follow Leppa there though.

 

[Browndog]

All the best Lepa (except for when you come up against the tiges of course). Has done a good job whilst at the tigers.

 

[Tenacious Tiger]

Well done to Leppa, but I hope this doen't turn their form against us around.

 

[jimbob]

Good luck to him - was good for us.

 

[pahoffm]

Congrats to Leppitsch.

Good, we now have an opportunity to recruit a TOP KPP development coach.

I wish Leppitsch all the best in his future projects.

 

[Ice]

good luck to him - I have always been a big fan of his

RFC needs some fresh eyes into the assistant coaching panel - I think prospective assistant coaches would find Richmond an attractive place to be

Big decision for the club - who are the likely candidates?

Personally, as I have stated previously, I would favour a key forward coach to come into the group. With Chaplin, Grimes, Rance, Houli, Morris I think the back line is in pretty good shape and don't need to much specialist coaching

best wishes to justin.

obviously without knowing the facts it seems very strange that brisbane sacked voss in the manner they did, and when they seemed to be travelling ok, to end up going with another favourite son untried coach.

 

[The Mole]

I see Brad Miller has been appointed to an assistant role at Melbourne. I always thought he could have been a good coach - not much of a player but got the best out of himself.

 

[Tigers of Old]

Did a good job with Rance in particular.

Time for some fresh blood and new ideas.

Good luck Leppa but not too much.

 

[zippadeee]

No huge loss. No talls developed while he was there

It is a risky move, but in Leppitsch's favour he has at least been in the system as an assistant coach, whereas Voss had never coached in any capacity when he was appointed.

 

[loto]

A completely different and greatly Tigers backline since Leppa arrived at Richmond. Best of luck

I agree with all of this. Best of luck in role, first job is to retain all players that want out.

 

[smasha]

Best of luck except us Leppa.

 

[nswtiger]

[Ian4]
