Unfortunately GH has to accept this unfolding disaster has occurred mostly under his watch. Can’t blame Caddick he has his hands full running his large and highly successful business. When you look at the quality in the side Christopher has highlighted and compare with recent sides, it shows just how much we have fallen by the wayside. Sadly we don’t seem to have any players in the squad who can get a grip of the situation. In the past Sinfield and Peacock would sort things out on the pitch. Depressingly the squad is so poor it won’t be a quick fix up it could take several years.

That would not be appropriate at Leeds - Leeds needs better recruitment, better youth system and better coaching.

He’s clearly a good ‘coach.’ It seems to me a lot of individuals in the squad, especially the younger end have improved under him. The likes of Walters, Holroyd, McDonnell, O’Conner, Johnson and even Roberts, who looked nowhere near first team level to start the year have all improved as individuals.

What I’m maybe starting to question is whether he’s ‘head coach’ material, certainly with the current level of support. He just can’t seem to pull us together as a team consistently. Yes some of that’s also falls on the inconsistent individuals we have in the squad.

I actually think he could do with a really strong second in command with some head coach experience.
