“There’s a few guys that played with Tawera and we were all shocked by the news. I felt for the Nikau and Briers families and for Darryl and Warrington.”It’s no way to approach a game, it must have been a very tough few days for them.”The Warrington coach, Darryl Van de Velde, declined to attend the after-match press conference.. Dean Lance’s rocky relationship with Leeds has ended just four matches into his second Super League season. Leeds yesterday announced the premature departure of their coach after a series of meetings with the club’s chief executive, Gary Hetherington, and described it as being by mutual consent. Dean Lance’s rocky relationship with Leeds has ended just four matches into his second Super League season. Leeds yesterday announced the premature departure of their coach after a series of meetings with the club’s chief executive, Gary Hetherington, and described it as being by mutual consent.
“It has been a roller-coaster ride with the Rhinos and I firmly believe I am leaving the club in a better shape than when I arrived,” Lance said yesterday. “There is a wealth of young talent and I am sure they are going to blossom in the future.”I am sad to be leaving, but having given the matter a great deal of thought over the past few days I believe the time is right.”Lance, previously coach at the now-defunct Perth Western Reds, succeeded his fellow Australian, Graham Murray, at the start of last season and his reign was one of highs and lows from the start.Leeds lost their first five Super League games, amid rumours ­ which have never quite gone away ­ that he had failed to win the respect of the Rhinos’ senior players, but reached the Challenge Cup final at Murrayfield and later went on a club record 13-match winning run.The season ended in chaos, however, with Lance in an industrial tribunal defending himself against accusations of racism levelled by one of his players, Paul Sterling.

He was found to have been guilty of “unconscious racism” and talk was rife over the winter that he and the club were discussing the termination of his contract.This season has also been a typical Leeds mixture of good and bad signals. Leeds played some brilliant rugby in reaching the Challenge Cup semi-finals, but lost there ­ albeit narrowly ­ to St Helens last week.A squad depleted by injury lost its second Super League match of the season, 18-16 to Hull, at Headingley on Friday night, but Lance gave no hint that he had decided to leave the club.”I know that Dean was very disappointed that we didn’t reach the Challenge Cup final and the recent spate of injuries hasn’t helped,” said Hetherington. “He leaves with the best wishes of everyone at the club.”Names linked with the Leeds job even while Lance was in situ included the Australian national coach, Chris Anderson, who has left Melbourne but is lined up to take over at Cronulla, and Castleford’s Stuart Raper, whose achievements there Hetherington is known to admire.But Hetherington appeared to rule out the possibility of appointing a successor from outside the club when he said: “Mick Cook, Daryl Powell and Steve Anderson are all involved in the coaching and preparation of the first team and it is likely that Daryl Powell will be promoted to first-team coach when the board of directors meet on Tuesday.”Powell was Hetherington’s captain and right-hand man at Sheffield Eagles and retired as a player to join the Leeds coaching staff at the end of last season.. Salford continued their Super League progress with a solid if unspectacular victory sealed by Michael Hancock’s first try for the club yesterday. Salford continued their Super League progress with a solid if unspectacular victory sealed by Michael Hancock’s first try for the club yesterday.
A dour contest was in the balance until the last 10 minutes, when Hancock, an Australian Test winger brought into the game in the second half as an extra forward, took a pass from Andy Coley’s excellent break and went over for a touchdown which, with Bobbi Goulding’s goal, put the Reds eight points clear.In the last minute, Goulding’s kick ahead, further held on by Kris Tassell, created a try for Malcolm Alker for a final scoreline that might have flattered Salford a little, but which, coming after their win at Warrington last week, puts an altogether more optimistic gloss on their season.This is also a game they started strongly, capitalising on Andrew Frew’s first-minute knock-on for Goulding to send Tassell over.

Goulding’s conversion and a penalty after the impressive Coley had been held down in the tackle completed a highly satisfactory start.Huddersfield, hoping for better things this season after three wooden spoons, came back into the game after being second best for the first half hour. Steve McNamara and Brandon Costin handled for Graham Appo to go in at the corner and then McNamara linked with Chris Thorman for David Atkins to score.McNamara’s goal put the Giants ahead, although Salford must have wondered how they contrived to be behind at half-time.Goulding kicked them level after Chris Molyneux was penalised for holding on in the tackle, but the Giants again threatened to take control by seizing a four-point lead with two McNamara penalties. The first came from Alker’s descent, the second from an offence in the tackle from the workhorse Paul Southern, and it looked as though they might prove expensive for Salford in such a tight game.But the impact from the bench of players like Hancock and Darren Brown, plus Goulding’s varied range of kicking options, saw them safely home.It was the much-travelled scrum-half’s cleverly angled kick for Francis Maloney that brought Salford level once more. Goulding’s conversion gave them the lead and although Nic Pinkmeny was denied a clinching try for offside, their strong finish boded well for the season ahead.Salford Reds: Broadbent; Pinkney, Maloney, Tassell, Offiah; Blakeley, Goulding; Southern, Alker, Driscoll, Jowitt, Highton, Wainwright. Substitutes used: Brown, Coley, Hancock, Holroyd.Huddersfield: Cooper; Frew, Gleeson, Costin, Appo; Thorman, Kusto; Laughton, Rowley, Molloy, Atkins, Lomax, McNamara. Substitutes used: Cardoza, Molyneux, Marshall, Turner.Referee: S Ganson (St Helens).* Rugby league is set to return to Edinburgh after the success of last year’s Challenge Cup final.
