On the strength of last years comeback, I think we will hang on to him. Do agree its a tough one especially after last night and the St Helens game with Warrington to come.

Well when McDermott was hired GH made a bit of noise about giving british coaches a chance, if he was to stick to that i would say give Daryl Powell the chance he never got to return like was the original plan. If not bothered by nationality i'd say Daniel Anderson.
Having said that i do still think McDermott will be in charge come 2013 unfortunately.

What about Kearney?

He aint doing a good job at Parra. They are interested in Tony Smith. Am sure Smith will be tempted to go home so Kearney would become available.

Maybe the form you showed in last years playoffs came more down to player power rather than the coach's ability? It seemed to me that your senior players stepped up and dug in more, whereas this season when you needed to kick on it hasnt happened. Its got to be down to your coach to keep the momentum of last season up, but McDounut doesnt seem to have a clue at the moment. His body language after Fridays game was shocking as a head coach and even though you got hammered, he should have been appearing to be possitive and just put it down to a bad night at the races. Take a look at Nathan Brown at the post match interview after the Wigan game. Even though his side were on the end of a hiding, he stayed possitive and showed the media and other teams that they arnt beaten yet and the season isnt over by one defeat.

If Leeds replace BM, I'd go for someone with experience, and give them clear remit to ignore any and all reputations amongst the squad and base selections on form and how they want to structure the team. Without that remit no decent coach should go anywhere near us. Even with it, I don't think it would be fair to dump a young coach into the role.

IMO BM is struggling to manage a highly complacent set of players, who really aren't that interested in turning up for run-of-the-mill games, to the extent that they can't even be bothered to turn up against Wigan or Sts at home. They'll put in an effort in the CC semi-final and Play Offs (if we get there), but it seems they are beyond the point of understanding that form isn't something that can be turned on like a lightswitch.

We all know GH would never pay over the odds ,but What the Hell Wigan got away withit didnt they?they got away with a fine paid out of someones back pocket,when they should have been sent to division IIbut it was Cas who went down for them.Why not break the cap big style?if they can get away with it why not us?

Wouldn't go near Kearney! A very poor coach ATM and too inexperienced.

I can't see why anyone would vote for Brian McDemott as you're following the same downward path with him as happened with us in London, he's a number 2, not head coach material. Daniel Anderson would probably be your best bet although the new coach would need to be someone who will have the talent to rebuild an ageing side, albeit one that with decent motivation has the ability to win at least one more major trophy.

Agree with this tvoc. The key here is 'at the present time'. BMD showed last year he was capable of motivating this lot when it really mattered, and but for some bad luck at Wembley he may have had three titles in his first few months in charge.

IMO the squad needs freshening up with a couple of marquee players to shake the old hands out of their complacency.
That's not necessarily the coaches call. The buck stops with Caddick and Hetherington. I don't think changing the coach will necessarily change things as much as it seems they need to change.

I'm sticking with BMD.
