If Bradford can attract Toovey & KR Sheens im more than sure we'll have enough candidates apply.
The main issue is it needs doing & doing asap before another lost season & we find ourselves saying the same things again in 2018.

Name the 17 you'd have selected tonight with the absentees?

| Printer, I'm not arguing with the 17 picked vs Cas. I am saying that NOW is the time to act. Carrying on with the same experienced players who continue to fail to perform week after week with seemingly no negative personal consequences is what was done for most of last season. And it didn't work. The way some of them are playing you'd think they are already in comfortable retirement.
Assuming BM stays, some of these guys need dropping, and I'd quite happily go with whoever people think are most ready in the U19s. BM himself said he'd expect better effort than the second half from a full U19s team.
Its not about winning the next game. IMO its about time a number of our squad got the message that last year was terrible, that they personally have some responsibility for that, and that absolutely dreadful performances will not be tolerated.
I fully expect none of this to happen. A few minor tweaks aside I think McDermott will go with the same old faces, and we'll hear the same mantra about working hard and putting things right. Which is why I think he needs to move on, and should have left under his own steam at the end of last year.

Given the success McDermott has achieved in the past, his stock has, up to this, point been in credit. I think Printer has argued that consistently and the majority of fans would have agreed with him. He also makes a reasonable point about available options and some of the blame for where we now find ourselves must be shouldered by GH. However, I'm fairly certain that GH did not leave Mullally on the bench until the game was well and truly gone. I would also venture that GH didn't relocate McGuire in the defensive line in a game where our defence was always going to be under pressure. In fact, I am pretty sure that GH is not responsible for the defensive formation, the tackling technique and the general organisation of the team.
There have always been some question marks over BM's coaching and his teams have often been inconsistent. In fact, we have witnessed similar performances in the last, even when Sinfield and Peacock were still here.
What to do now and who to turn to? The options are few and far between. The cheque book needs to come out and soon. Forget buying players, get a decent coach.

| peter smith sums it up
They (cas) have size in the pack, creativity in the halves – even with a hooker playing there – and explosive finishing power out wide. They are well-organised, confident and play a glorious brand of attacking rugby league
the opposite of leeds

| Still some are missing the point . Mac is outcoached every week , we have no structure in attack or defence and he does not improve players . Yes our recruitment is poor and our Academy system seems to have fallen apart but some of that can also be put on the coach .

| BM hasn't always been "outcoached every week" - certainly not in finals. I'd say its more a case of overseeing an ever poorer squad highlighting his deficiencies, which were probably always there but didn't matter when we had the cattle.
Its hugely unfair on him to say that he wasn't a great coach for the club - our winning record not to mention plaudits from the likes of Sinfield suggest otherwise.
However, the way we are going BM is in all likelihood going to end up sacked, with his reputation at Leeds in tatters. That's an awful way for him to leave, but TBH if he carries on with another year like last year and ends up being forced out, then even the reputation hit will be partly his fault.

Are you seriously suggesting Leeds could not attract a better name than Huddersfield ?

Australia is the place to look. Ivan Cleary would be a stand out candidate if he would come to this country. Even Justin Morgan who did a decent job over here with Hull KR and will have learned plenty since working alongside the likes of Craig Bellamy & Stephen Kearney. Or a certain David Furner might be open to a return, he's been part of the Cowboys set up for a while now. To suggest there are no possible options to McDermott is wrong, what it will take though is not taking the cheap and easy option.

Like i said on another thread make this job available there'll be plenty of interest & then it's up to GH to get it right.
Personally there's Dunneman Furner Cleary J.Morgan etc.

| Quote ="ThePrinter"Never mind ability or attitude, we had no one else to pick in reality.'"
In the circumstances dropping Briscoe didn't seem an overly bright idea?
A lot on here are suggesting Lilley should be a starter so him and Sutcliffe in the starting 17 should be OK.
In the forwards most would pick Keinhorst at least in the 17 so in reality Leeds were missing 4 players as were Cas.
The quality of the squad is in part due to the inability to bring quality youngsters through the system and for that McDermott has to take some responsibility.
I agree with Gotcha this club has lost its way - I have said before it needs fresh management at the top. Hetherington has done a great job but everyone has a shelf life and he has reached his "best before date"

I'd like Cleary, a lot of the good groundwork that allowed the Penrith team to be as good as they were last year was done by him.

| I will say it again, if it wasn't for Segeyaro last year we finish dead last and struggle middle 8's. We are just going back down the same road again here.The dressing room needs a new voice and badly we cant just let it drift and fester and take beating after beating again because a Segeyaro is unlikely to bail us out this time if we fall into the middle 8s.
