Sinfield’s appointment represents a new way of working at the defending Super League champions, who currently sit ninth in the table.


He will take on many of chief executive Gary Hetherington’s roles as well as working with the rugby Football League to ensure there is a smooth handover of his Rugby Director role, for which his contract runs out at the end of the season.



The 37-year-old said: “To follow on from Brian McDermott is a huge challenge but one I am excited about.


“Brian will be remembered as the most successful coach the club has ever had and his record speaks for itself. I enjoyed playing under him and our task now, as a club, is to take the legacy he has helped to nurture and move it forward with a new generation of players.


"I believe the national side is in a position to fulfil its potential under Wayne Bennett and I am happy to continue my work leading into the Autumn series against New Zealand to make sure there is a smooth transition to build on the successful work we have done over the last two years.

“The chance to re-join Leeds Rhinos was too good an opportunity to miss. We have a group of extremely talented players here but we find ourselves in a hard position at present.”



Hetherington added, "Our challenge at the start of the week was to address the short term problem for the rest of the season and also ideally strengthen our structure for the future.


“There were three key areas that were under scrutiny: our senior management structure with myself as Chief Executive for the past 22 years working alongside the head coach on player retention and recruitment, our coaching team with regards our performances, and our players. The appointments today reflect change in two of those three areas."After an absence of two-and-a-half years, we welcome Kevin Sinfield back home. He will have responsibility for all rugby matters including team selection, preparation, performance and results of the first team.


“He will handle all first team player promotion, retention and recruitment moving forward and oversee our coaching staff management and appraisal.”

The problem is that now I am using dbeaver for mac and this guide is not working. I can go on until the moment that I select my result set like in the image below: exporting data set But once I go further in the process, in the last step I get: no query Note that in "source" it was suppose to show the query that originated the result set, but instead it says just "select.
