Quote: D4mo78 "I must admit to not being BMc's biggest fan. I don't think we play particularly good rugby (hard to think of games we've come away from thinking we were on fire). Maybe he's a better motivator than tactician. If so the signing of a top assistant could be the most important of the off season.
Not keen on his use of the bench. It's a weekly thing that someone is left waiting. Fair enough when things are ticking along on the pitch, but not when players are blowing out every hole. And there seems to be a complete lack if competition for places in the squad. If someone's out injured or suspended, they never face a battle to get back in. One week they're out, the next they've passed a late fitness test and are playing.
Guess we'll see what the off season brings. But credit to the lads, they've done well considering the injuries we've had.
On a final note, Bailey did himself no favours last night. Trying to start on Tomkins and Charnley, and then being nowhere to be seen to take the ball in after. Could do without him'"
I am generally a fan of Bailey's but I have to agree his conduct after it was clear the game was gone was poor and something of an embarrassment.
I don't think it is time for McDermott to go though his use of the Bench is confusing. I also don't think it is the end of Maguire yet either though do agree we need an injection of pace in the halves.
Singleton must play more next season - he looks a real player now and ready for week in week out action. If Delaney moves prop we should have some decent go forward in addition to our regular starting props
I also think there is potential in Achurch to become a decent impact player off the bench - certainly not of Lauitiiti's class (then again, who is?) but good enough for the present Super League standard
