Ok, Brian McDermott hasn't had the greatest start to his Leeds Rhinos coaching career, but there are a few things we can be thankful to him for. Here's what I can come up with, see if you have any more...

1. He successfully ousted Luke Burgess and Ben Cross from the club.
2. He employed a Bradford legend as his assistant, who doesn't seem to have had much input at all!
3. He has played arguably 2010's best Stand Off, Danny McGuire, out of position all season (when he has been fit.)
4. He has played a Loose Forward at Stand Off all season for no reason whatsoever.
5. He dropped Paul McShane from the team when he was looking like a great impact player.
6. He has put Rob Burrow on the bench to bring him on as replacement hooker (he has looked good here, but so did McShane and he is a proven, successful Scrum Half.)
7. He has fialed to play McGuire, Burrow, Buderus and Sinfield at the same time for long periods when clearly this works (off the top of my head, the last 15mins against Hull they all played in the correct postions and we scored 16 un-answered points.)
8. He has ruined Lee Smith's career by not playing him in the centres. Before he left for yawnion, he was becomming an international centre. He has played there maybe once this season.
9. He takes Jamie Peacock off when the chips are down to replace him with Ian Kirke.
10. He has probably made Danny Buderus' decision to leave by playing him in 15 minute bursts.

Thanks Brian.

I would like to thank him for going to Leeds and ruining a good side who played attractive rugby and could defend, could you please sack him in time for him to be appointed Wigan coach for next year

Quote: El Diablo "then on the way back to the coach a street entertainer who managed to combine my least favourite artist with my least favourite instrument by playing a Celine Dion song on bagpipes.

Worst. Day. Ever.


In that case, you might wish to re-live the experience.

Amazing what can be done with a dudelsack

That was the song in question.

I've never been more pleased that I don't have any speakers on this PC.
