Perfect example of the foolishness of jumping in with critical comment without being in possession of the facts.

Well you know on here that facts and common sense can't be allowed to get in the way of a good old moan, rumour and criticism.

Come on now enoughs enough,mplease mr H pull the trigger, getting worse not better and same old excuses

Leeds are showing no improvement in defence, their biggest problem this season.

McDermott has to take responsibility.

If leeds lose next week then Mcdermott should be sacked.

What is the extra significance of next week? THREE worst ever thrashings after GH's appeal. If that is not a middle finger to the guy what is?

Enough now fed up of hearing he's earned the right to be given more time he needs to be gone. Not just the coach though think the whole set up could do with being looked at we look completely unfit. And no idea at all

Coaches don't get fired until the fans start calling for the heads of the board not the coach.

The extra significance is that it's next week. We are fast running our of games.

If we go into the middle 8's in our current state we'll end up in the million pound game, and anything can happen in that.

I just wish he would stick his hands up and walk away.i don't really want to see him sacked but this cannot go on

You would hope he would do this now....a honourable resignation would do him much more good than this

Same , different week.

No obvious signs of improvement, even when players do come back. Look woefully unfit. Some players clearly not bothered (yes Kallum, I'm looking at you). Others taking the easy option to avoid having to make a tackle (Galloway and JJB in particular flying out of the line to tackle no-one).

How much longer are fans expected to tolerate it and listen to the same old platitudes?

Time for a new voice and fresh ideas. Someone needs to come in and instil some structure into this team. But unfortunately our long term problems run much deeper than simply the head coach. Our recruitment needs to improve dramatically for next season, and our academy production line seems to be coming to a grinding halt. Tough decisions need to be made regarding some of the current squad as well.

That's enough now.

Even if it means sacrificing the most successful Leeds coach ever, something needs doing.


I said it a couple of weeks ago - we couldn't get any worse with a new coach.

McD has just tendered his resignation on sky.













If only Carlsberg did post match interviews

Early in the season we were losing close games, we are not even competing in more than half a game

I agree on every point, barring the notion that anyone could instil structure into this lot. We seem not to have one player capable of anticipating the gap that needs plugging. Forget their leadership, both Sinfield and Peacock used to frequently make the tackle that snuffed out an attack before it even began. We have no-one with that knack. Throw in a lack of commitment and zero communication and I don't see anything with which a coach could work.
This isn't a plea to retain McDermott, I just think we've reached a point where it no longer matters anymore.

Right now instead of just blowing up answer me this, who can we actually bring in? even till the end of the year

1- Brian noble- over my dead body
2- Iesten harris-


3- Kevin Sinfield as temporary coach- sounds good but it didnt work out too well for Shearer at Newcastle and I cant think of many more examples
4- Paul Rowley-the best option but we dont know if he has sorted out whatever the reason he left Leigh was- also he didnt do too well in the middle 8s last year

The big fear is we get stuck with someone just because they happend to be available

I said elsewhere, Keinhorst apart there wasn't a single player in that Leeds 17 that I would genuinely be disappointed to see leave the club.

So many who are either on the way down from their peak or are never going to be good enough for a club with ambition to win things.

We need to look to bringing in an Aussie for me, someone who knows little about the squad and starts with a clean slate.getting someone in now would givr them half a season to stamp their ideas on the squad, which clearly is crying out for a fresh regime imo.

Brian Smith. Rocket up their arrses and a guy who can actually structure and coach. Then put him in a exec/recruitment role at the end of the season having identified a coach for 2017.

Of course this would involve GH giving up some of his power so is unlikely at best.

Danny Mcguire, Rob Burrow, JJB- Id hate to see any of them leave after a season like this

Also we have some real quality players who might do well under someone else- especially someone like Powell
Hardaker, Watkins, Cuthbertson, even Sutcliffe Singleton and Lilly who have all shown that they can play really well when the rest of the team is doing better

Some decent coaches currently working as assistants in the NRL who might fancy a high profile job like Leeds, and would come in with a fresh set of eyes and no previous relationship with the players - John Cartwright, Michael Potter, Wayne Collins, Dean Young, maybe even Danny Buderus.

Not sure about that, Smith seems a real ar$e based on what has been said about him at Wakefield, I also would hate to see leeds abandon its offloading free-flowing philosophy for the robot-rugby

Also I would much rather have GH than Smith as our exec, wanna compare their trophies/ achievements?

Sentiment can't come into it in my opinion. We need to do what's best for the club going forward. Burrow's looked lively on occasions this year in offence, but having to hide him in defence is playing havoc with our defensive structure. Particularly when we've got Lilley, Sutcliffe, McGuire, hell even Achurch, often all on the pitch at the same time who you'd say were fairly weak in terms of their defence.

Possible, but the danger of some of these aussie coaches is they want teams to play like robots
After all we complained last year about how boring Wigan were compared to us, would you want us to play the same way?

Buderus is the best shout so far though, though he lacks experience, you might be better asking Kev
