Seasonal cheers to you too :CHEERS:

i wonder what gary hetherington thought to that comment of it being an "open training session"?
so next years open training session on boxing day 2017 v wakey will be free admission then mac?


It won't matter Brian will not be there next Boxing day :D






Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.

Does this game count as one of the set of 6 defeats in any 10 games that will see him surgically removed?

that would really make your day sal wouldn't it :D
i have the utmost respect for mac and will continue to do so,afterall he has been the most successful coach ever at the club

brian mac has never received the adulation of the fans when it was due when we won the trophies so how could he ever succeed when the side struggle?

i will however voice an opinionated but balanced view if needed and will not write his post mortem just yet,although a major squad rebuild will be required for the 2018 season
this seasons results will determine whether or not mac will be in charge beyond 2017

who would you realistically like to take his place?






Brian McDermott paraphrased Peter Fox.
"He'd say if we had 13 Bernard Dwyers we wouldn't lose many RL games. It's the same for us with JJB"

The result is worrying and the performance sounds crap. What really matters is how we perform in the league games. Plenty of our better missing so no cause for alarm just yet.

As for people spending money and being disappointed, surely the team Leeds had out was no worse than previous seasons. Its always been a chance for fringe players to have a game whilst the top players can relax over the Xmas period.

In seasons gone by our weak team was still enough to beat wakey, or cas before them, but maybe this shows how much weaker we are these days

Regarding McDermott, is it just to sack him if the squad he's been given is weak.

So how long do you accept mediocrity - indefinitely because of his past history?

If a club of Leeds stature cannot get the next Trent Robinson from the NRL then something is seriously wrong. If this job became available Leeds would be inundated with potential suitors. The question is can the club spot the gem or will they appoint John Kerr or Mark Aston?

so there are undoubtedly better coaches out there, and they may be able to get more from the squad, you can't polish a turd, as Bennett showed over the autumn.

For what it's worth I think McDermott should have stepped aside / moves upstairs at some point. A team needs new ideas and to be taken out of their comfort zone ever so often.

The new coach coming in would need to be quality though, because he wouldn't have a great squad to work with
