I see Mom as similar to Frawley - a bit of a "holding" signing until out young lads develop through to first grade. Neither player has been consistently good enough for Leeds this year though.

It's possible both might show up better next season after some accilimatisation and a proper pre-season under a new coach though. To be fair to Frawley big respect for the guy, gone from his own crowd chanting against him on the pitch to a string of MoMs, massively reslient.

Well it would bring the uncertainty to an end, so that's a good thing. Where we go from here is anyone's guess. We need another coach who understands the value of hard work in a contact sport. Personally I think it's a year too early for Jamie Langley to take over directly, that would feel like we're going for the easy rather than right option if we did it now.

There is no one out there currently who leaps out as as a suitable replacement, Langley will get the job i reckon, its always a gamble with any coach change I think Langley could be a real bolter. 

Also a question of whether he could stay for 26 given the Perth wouldn't enter the comp till 27. Not sure how much leeway there would be, but a coach can't coach if he doesn't have any players. Perhaps an opportunity to extend for a year if homesickness and planning for the Perth job don't get in the way. Two very big ifs though. 

If, the job were to start after the 2026 season ends in Europe, then I'd consider bringing his kids over for a year (if the meeting next week on OQS and SC both bring developments). I'd feel better handing over to Langley if BA was to do one more year.

I too don't currently know of anyone I'd want to give the job to for next season, but I'm not Ian Blease...
