Quote: mattsrhinos1978 "No structure, No organisation, No gameplan, clueless in attack, soft in defence, poor use of subs, dreadful rugby for most of his tenure. These are the things i base my opinion on, which of those arnt true? If you rate him thats fine, But to say theres no basis for the criticism of mcdermott is laughable and plain wrong.'"


Wow, why are you even a fan? Do you just turn up to the finals? Like the 4 Grand finals he’s taken us to, the 4 world club challenges, the 4 challenge cup finals?

No Structure, No Organisation, No gameplan? Yep, we’ve lost every game 80 - nil under McD. Not a single player understands what they’re doing, it’s so obvious. Thank you.

Clueless in attack? - Myler topped the assists chart last week. But you know, we’ve not scored a try since McD came to the club so yeah, we’re totally clueless as we’ve been nilled in every game as mentioned previously.

Soft in defence - yeah, we’ve conceded 8 more points than castleford this season. Totally soft.

Poor use of subs - and I guess your coaching masterclasses you hold every week for the 11 other super league coaches is why they’re all more successful than we are.

Dreadful rugby for most of his tenure - damn it, we keep coming last in the league. Our rugby is so damn awful. I mean, holding Cas to nearly nil and producing one of the best GF performances I’ve seen is so damn dreadful.

But yeah, keep believing your poop tinted glasses. Or you know, go support someone else. Cheerio.

Quote: chapylad "This has been picked up on Sky when they interview other team players.
Two or three if I recall have said the same thing that it is difficult to play against Leeds as their game plan is off the cuff and even their (Leeds) own players don`t seem to know what they are doing at times.
Pretty much says it all.'"



I think you'll find that was Jon Wilkin and he was saying it as a compliment as they had just been beaten by Leeds.

And when it works it looks great. Unfortunately when it doesn't, we don't have anything decisive in our locker to fall back on.

Players stood still receiving the ball, players making 30 yards sideways, no dummy runners, same turgid predictable last tackle options (Moons hoof, Mylers kick for touch, tackled with ball in hand 10 meters out) We just don't have anyone in our team able / prepared to take the squad by the scruff of the neck during a game and lead them. Shut down Myler, shut down Leeds.

Yes Wilkin was one but I think the other was Kev Brown and I seem to think a Cas player but cannot be certain.
Not sure it is that much of a compliment mate if our own players don`t know what we are doing.
Must be a n easy gig as coach at the Rhinos if the message is "just do your own thing and baffle the opposition" icon_wink.gif

Given our results this year it doesn't seem like anyone's having any difficulty with our 'unpredictable' play, and neither did they in 2016. I think the whole unstructured thing is overplayed - we did have structure in 2015, in the GF we played a very controlled game. Ditto earlier wins, and even last year. A game based around offloads ccan still be structured, and in fact only works if everyone knows what's intended and reacts accordingly.

'Unstructured' is often used as cover for poor play. The most entertaining sides in the game have thrown the ball around a lot but with some semblance of a plan. When you see a side with players bunched in the middle for multiple tackles in a set, no movement by players without the ball to create space, and one man rugby for 4 out of 5 tackles, you aren't watching unstructured, you're watching rubbish. Hand on heart I think Leeds have been terrible to watch most of this year, all of 2016 and a lot of last year as well.

I’d second you.

The standard of play from us has been terrible this year, we haven’t had one game where we’ve played a full 80. We’ve got by with 20/30 min bursts before these injuries have forced out players.
