Hull KR winger Ryan Hall discusses Leeds Rhinos' coaching situation ahead of date with future employers
The winger will see out his career at Headingley after agreeing a one-year deal with his boyhood club for 2025.
Hall was signed by Rohan Smith who has since been sacked and replaced by interim boss Brad Arthur.

However, the 36-year-old is relaxed about the situation as he prepares for his last game at Headingley as a visiting player on Saturday.
"I have got one eye on that but I'm concentrating on playing for Hull KR," said Hall.
"I think I’ll get on with anyone who comes in. It happened here when Tony (Smith) left. I didn’t know who the coach was going to be and it turned out it was Willie Peters who I seem to get along with.

"It will get done whenever it gets done and I’ll take note when I need to."
Hall scored 231 tries in 330 games in his first spell at Leeds from 2007 to 2018 on his way to winning six Super League Grand Finals, two World Club Challenges and two Challenge Cups.
The veteran has returned to Headingley several times since signing for Hull KR in 2021 and does not expect it to feel any different this weekend.

"Now that decision has been made I put it to bed because I’m contracted to Hull KR this year and have a job to do for Hull KR. I want to get the most out of it I can.
"I’ve parked all the stuff about going to Leeds because that’s very much next year. I’ve got a job to do this year and I have to do that to the best of my ability."
