It is the right time for McDermott to go, no doubt about that. Half season of being cr@p shouldn't blur people's judgement of what McDermott has achieved though.

Mac has been heavily criticized even in midst of massive success. So alot weren't convinced by him. Selections, use of the bench etc.

This season was the year where his coaching credentials would get massively examined and he hasn't passed the test for me. And he continues to come up with any kind of answers where you can see the season turning round. we're in free fall.

Nonsense. Can't speak for all other teams, but our "first one we look at" is Saints, by some considerable distance, as it is with them.

Just spoke with Ryan Hall tonight. Didn't say when he would be back, was still limping. Slimmed down has the lad though, probably to reduce the weight on ankle I would suspect.

so he's still limping and he's thin? It's going to be a donkeys years before he's back.

Wife looked happy though, if any consolation.

Who knows, Ablett was meant to definitely be playing vs Catalans last week and didn't even make the 19.

He said last week that he was targeting the Wakey game for his comeback

Limping in his flip flops tonight, I would doubt that. Unless they inject or something, but who knows. He was struggling carrying the baby.

As Printer rightly points out, Ablett reckoned he would be back for Catalans, so who knows.

Who's in charge of getting these players back to fitness?

Please don't say Ian Kirke.

Given his handling errors before he got injured that doesn't come as a shock.
