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

Time to go? Not in my opinion.

The standards at the club are very high now, which I love. By those standards, this season has been disappointing. It needs putting right and the transition after arguably the greatest team in the club's history needs to move forward.

I think the current coach's achievements in the first two years of his employment merit giving him at least another year to address those challenges.

Opinions are ten a penny. The one that matters will be Gary Hethrington's.

Does anyone think Melbourne fans are thinking similar thoughts about Bellamy? They've had a very similar season to us. Don't know why McD gets so much grief

Are you being for real with that? Or just winding us up?

Bellamy created their success, he brought the team together, developed them, made them winners.

McDermott in his own words, is an incredibly lucky coach to get to coach these players. The winning culture was already ingrained long before he was appointed. These players were already winners.

Surely you didn't really mean to compare our guy with a world class coach like Bellamy?

I am not advocating getting shut of BMD,but can someone please explain the terms of his contract?

Overpaid!

An ''innovative first in world sport'' according to GH.

I think essentially it's just a rolling one year contract because GH can't decide on mcdermott's shelf life.

If next year goes poorly we'll part company.

There is much speculation over in Wakey that Gary H has his eye on Paul Aiton. Him and Kath are trying to put together a player swap deal.

Aiton is hard as nails , a great defender and all round worker but he is not a player that can run a game.

However the way Sinfield played in that role last night, Aiton would be a massive improvement.

Seem to have a 3rd season syndrome

Smith's 3rd year - 3rd place, eliminated first week of the playoffs, CC semi defeat.
McClennen - 4th place, lost GF qualifier, CC final defeat, WCC defeat.
McDermott - 3rd place, lost GF qualifier, CC 5th round, WCC defeat.

Changing coach will, IMO, have absolutely zero effect unless it is accompanied by an acknowledgement that now is the time to start refreshing the forward pack in particular.

You've changed your tune since last week, but this year was the year to start refreshing the forward pack, unless players like Amor, Taylor and Walmsley are magically available again. Taylor was the second best prop on display last night, by the way.
