How are you ‘reading’ into it? What was said?

Just watched it, he was asked do you think ryan wants to stay at leeds and do you think he will stay at Leeds, McDermott answered ‘yes to both’

Again how are you reading into that, that hall is leaving?

he's just playing the PR angle, lets see how things play out. On our form, he may not want to play in the Championship next year !

Yes, lets see how it plays out rather than stating Hall leaving is a fact eh?

Im not Mcd's biggest fan at all but how do you summise that from his interview?
He was asked the direct question he gave the direct answer.

the question to McD was "back to Ryan Hall, he's been linked recently to a move the HKR, do you see his long-term future at Rhino's ? would you like him to sign a new deal ? YES TO BOTh, was the reply. But the body language is saying it may not happen. Lets see how things turn out later in the season.

Well I guess last nights game truly answered this question !

If Catalans do Cas this weekend the Fat Lady has sung !

Erm, we would take 8th on PD unless we get totally battered and Hudds win their only success by a landslide...

Probably underestimating Hull KR role as well, with their run in.

Personally think we will get through on the performances/results of other teams rather than our own luckily.

6. Wakefield (18 & +42) - CAT H, LEE A, HFC H, HUD A.
7. Catalans (16 & -89) - WAK A, WAR A, SAL H, WIG A.
8. Leeds (15 & -72) - CAS A, WAK H, WID H, SAL A.
9. Huddersfield (15 & -247) - HFC H, WIG H, CAS A, WAK H.
10. Salford (12 & -147) - HKR A, CAS H, CAT A, LEE H.
11. Hull KR (11 & -12icon_cool.gif - SAL H, WID A, WAR H, HFC A.

Still a possibility that Leeds could play Toulouse, Toronto & Catalan away in the middle eights. Leeds would have to finish tenth, with Catalan in ninth, Toronto in first in the championship and Toulouse in third.

I think Huddersfield will lose all four of their remaining games, but who knows it’s impossible to call all 20 fixtures

If Toulouse, Toronto & Catalan do finish in those positions, whichever Super League club is in 10th will have it real tough and likley to be playing in the million pound game.

I think Huddersfield’s chance is next weekend. Lose and that is it for them. Win, and with us losing they may well get some confidence knowing would only need one more from three.

IF we beat Widnes and Salford and by time we play them their fate should be sealed then Hudds would have to won 3 of their last 4 and that won't happening. We should miss out on Middle 8s and our prize will be some real beatings in Super 8s.

You're due a league win against us and if we serve up anything like the dross we served up yesterday there will be a chance. Absolute worst and I mean worst case scenario you'll beat Widnes and Salford which will be enough for 8th.

You only serve dross up in finals against us, though

I would tend to agree. Clutching at straws I know!

Leeds wont miss the 8s - the rest are just too poor

I am not understanding why every good half has to play behind a dominant pack - surely any half back can look good behind a dominant pack?

They should. I remember Paul Harkin looking really good for Bradford Northern.

Then we signed him.

Dwyer had a good day today. He may be the only Leeds player with any confidence left

I think Dwyer has been under used personally. He has his faults, but he should be in the 17 most weeks IMO.
