McDermott did not blame Huddersfield or their coach for the messing around at the ruck - he clearly said all teams try to slow the ruck down and will get away with what they can. He also did say that Leeds started to do the same in the second half. His blame was directed at the ref for allowing it.

been disappointed with ferres for a long while now.

mullally doesnt work hard enough in defence, prob why he hasnt kept his place in the team previous.

cudjoe 30 tackles lastnight

one thing for sure is this guy can tackle , the missed one on tomkins apart but fans dont want to notice this and want to give him stick instead, nice little kick through for the wood try though from him.

He said that the referee allowed us, not Leeds, but us, to slow the ruck down by messing around and that contributed to a poor game in his opinion.
Both sides were as guilty as the other but he chose to suggest only Huddersfield were guilty of it and that the ref let us do it. Very poor stuff from a victorious coach IMO

Yes his quote is very disappointing and a pretty weak attempt at deflecting attention away from his own sides activity.

They targeted Brough with comments, head pats etc, trying to get a rise out of him. I would seriously take the armband off him now, even if he remains captain within the group, so he does not talk to the ref at all even if he does direct the team. It is now a weakness being targetted by the opposition with a view to getting his hackles up so much that he talks himself into 10mins.

McDermott is another deluded coach who thinks everyone else apart from his club is trying to spoil games and slow the PTB down to gain an advantage. I'm glad I had the luxury of watching the game at home on sky instead of watching it from the halfway line at Headingley where the game must look somewhat different going off his deluded comments to sky after the game. To say he had blue and amber rise tinted glasses on is an understatement!!!!

cant understand why lawrence starts on the bench in games?

surely this guy is better from the off! was we 18-0 down before he came on? might not have been if he was on from the off tackling

Another improved performance when the passes was being thrown they were sticking!
Ferres needs to relax! Rising to much to the niggle of the game! Best thing you can do is just crack on with the game.
Mulally struggles to defend against the little men, hooker ect get around him as he is not just big but "gangly" long arms and poor of balance. Not his fault as its this that makes him so hard to stop with the ball! Certainly makes the most meters of our props.....behind Jerry lol!
I am happy and believe on a different day we would have had the win! Aitons acting especially with Connor was pathetic and Leroy did not play at the ball! Luck no conspiracy

Aiton looks as though he's been trained at R.A.D.A.Why when there are cameras and video referees are they not used? The game is turning into a cheaters paradise.

One of the big things that needs to be stomped out two instances one by ferres on push by Connor. Ferres ok aiton was moving backwards and he put some force into the push but Connor....well a gust of wind would have had more force behind it! Viewers saw it and commentators saw it so punish it! Even if not at the time of the incident punish later. Just can't imagine in a sport that promotes it's physicality a grown man would dive to the floor! Makes himself look pathetic!

McDermott should've just gone and barracked the the referee in the dressing room like other coaches

Sadly that's how things look when your at the bottom of the league sunshine,You sadly look like a team in total dissaray and without direction

Despite what your claret and gold sunglasses say IMO the Rhinos were always in control last night even when they went behind for the only time late on

Danny Brough was targeted successfully last night by the Rhinos and due to his limited intellect, he sadly fell for the ploy hook line and sinker

Time to take this rubber gob's armband away me thinks as he is a complete loose cannon and one that constantly spits his dummy out when things don't go his way...... Aw Bless

I hope things improve for you guys but if not then your going to be visiting places yous haven't been for a while

Lying ******* you hope nothing of the sort- you've come on here to gloat at our loss in desperate need for us to have a bad season- but whatever happens we will still have a better one than your last season in superleague.

Thank you and good night rentagob!!"


couldnt make it to the palace but the sighs of relief could be heard in Blackpool
Enjoy the top spot -theres only one way to go !!

He's a bull Daz.

Bradford Bulls ? Are they still around !!!!
