I agree. I thought it was refreshing to read McDermotts comments. They were spot on and honest. Still think he got it wrong on the night, but his comments after were 100% correct.

Sorry im not well versed in the subtleties of cool forum speak.

BMD was his usual honest self in the post match interview. He always calls it as he sees it in my view, but I don't always agree with his assessment. His integrity is beyond question, it's his coaching and preparation of the team I sometimes have issues with.

Totally agree. He wears his heart on his sleeve and tells it as he sees it. I don't think he was dissing Huddersfield and he credited their goal line defence with winning them the match. His comments were aimed at our squad not theirs. This was not a Cas in red hot form defeat, this was a Leeds were utter garbage defeat, was how I read his comment.

Blame that on his lack of rotation he isn't an 80 monute player anymore yet the Coach thinks otherwise.

In it's own way every bit as shambolic as the Leeds defeat at Castleford - only this time Huddersfield were also poor just as Phil Clarke and Brian McDermott were correct to point out.

Out enthused on the night plain and simple. Time for another open E-mail Gary - tough month ahead otherwise.

Rubbish, he has been a penalty machine throughout his career - you would have thought he would have learned by now?

Most on here are happy to turn a blind eye to his short comings because his effort is top notch - whilst it is so are his failings.

The point still remains valid the longer he stays on without a break the more a liability he becomes wrt misssed tackles & penalties.

A blind man on a galloping horse could see that JJB was shot just after half time. Why he was left on the field thereafter is anybody's guess. The same would apply to leaving Burrow and Mullally sitting on the bench until after the game had gone. Whilst I can't really say it would have made much of a difference, the very least the coach can do is throw the flaming dice.

I am confident the Burrow move would have made a difference, and not in hindsight. Despite as poor as we were, we were the dominant team up to the 50 minute mark. Despite being dominant we were not executing and making errors, it needed a change. Quite a few of us were calling that the game was crying out for Burrow to come on within that first 10 minutes of the second half.

Instead, we got a decent try dissalowed, and the players wallowed in their own self pity, and within a short period after the game was beyond us. Suddenly Huddersfield were the dominant team.

I am not as convinced Mullally would have made a difference, other than spelling tired legs, but you would still think fresher legs is better than not.

Far worse for mine tvoc, Cas are quality this year and scoring for fun, Hudds, with the best will in the world, have been poor so far this season



Sod another e-mail. I want him to have a carefully considered recruitment plan with names, ready for next year and the funding ready to execute it

Yeah and I want a Tesla Model X or S P100D Ludicrous with all the trimmings but my bet is we will both be disappointed.

THAT WOULD BE YOU CLOWN

I just posted that on the VT, you posted your earlier comment 12 hours ago. So again who said what you claimed 12 hours ago clown?

So are you blaming the ref or not.

Your comments on the VT say clearly it is the ref.

You also go further- in suggesting that he is biased towards the Giants

Your words damn you

Who said anything 12 hours ago when you claimed clown?

Printer has a problem every time Leeds get beat - and 9 times out of 10 its the ref, usually its James Child but it doesn't matter. The inability to accept the best team won on the night puts into context the vast majority of his posts Leeds don't ever lose because they are beat by a better side.

Where I have said the best team didn't win? I readily admitted Leeds were garbage last night so give your mouth a wipe because you're talking sh*t as per usual.

Where have you said the best team won on the night, when do you ever say Leeds were beaten by a better side? I am not the one talking here

Before you both get into a never ending battle here. There was no better team on the night. Both teams were garbage, and other than two points, neither team have anything to crow about.

I do not think the title of "penalty machine " is correct or fair. In the Huddersfield game he had 2 penalties against him - same as Cuthbertson and Parcel.. Both these 2 and McGuire have given more away this season and Ablett just as many.

What you fail to consider is that players who are most involved at the coal face of collision are most likely to lose penalties and due to the low standard of officials not all the these decisions are correct.

Given the team the Giants had out I thought they performed better than expected and were the better side on the night, Leeds weren't unlucky to lose they were well beaten

I'm not surprised Leeds fans are spewing. Hudds were Missing Leroy, taai, Rapira, Gaskell, symonds and Lawrence who would all have been in the squad if fit. Other injuries to back up players too. Three 19 yr olds in the side including one playing for the first time at half back. At home behind a partisan crowd and the rhinos at the top of the table can't beat a struggling Huddersfield side.
I agree with McDermott - we weren't great. We were better than we have been only in that we showed more desire than we have in recent weeks and brough performed at his best which he hasn't much this season. Our creativity near the line was as poor as it has been all season and there were some poor defensive reads. So it's the refs fault and Leeds are better than hudds.

who said its the refs fault?? possibly one person

Social media is full of it. Probably where that one person on here got his conspiracy theory from. Given that he's quoted the same ncorrct numbers
