| Is it time to sacrifice something to stop the bleeding?
Can't see where our next win is coming from on current performances,been going on since start of season.fans are sick of hearing GH and McDermott saying mood in camp is good.is McDermott turging into the Arsene wenger of super league and can do no wrong in the boards eyes.dont like to see anyone lose there job but no-one bigger than the club surely?

I don't really see what's to be gained by sacking the manager now. Maybe next year we could do with a shake up and some fresh ideas but to sack him now who is avalable who you would actually want? And it's not as if we have a great assistant waiting in the wings to take over. The current situation is not all Macs fault

| We have no one to step in if he did go, that is the extent of his power building. Unfortunately results will get worse has he stays, but no other option. He should definitely be out fir next year.
On the playing front, Hetherington should have backed his coach and let Burrow go as a player. Watching last night, you couldn't help but think how he is effecting the team further as not a team player to fight in with what we need. Would like to see as stated previously McDermot just concentrate on first team, and appoint Burrow as head of youth on the same level as McDermott, not reporting to him.

| Can't blame McDermott for everything,but he runs the team his way,got to question the transfer policy of Leeds,should have replaced outgoing legends with players of equal ability,not too worried about 1-5 as I think they'll be ok,but Galloway looks out of his depth and his fitness levels are shocking,can't last more than 10 mins,too much expected of sutcliffe don't think he's got the mental strength to deal with that position,Delaney always gives 100% but is becoming a injury liability,desperately need leadership not just in middle of park,but throughout the team leading by example willing to go that extra mile.some of that leadership has to come from McDermott,can't expect 15-18000 loyal fans week In Week out to put up with these performances.everyone knew it would be a tough transition but the recent performances suggest maybe the problem is more deep routed.

| Don't really see the Wenger analogy as we won the treble last season, Wenger hasn't won a title for well over a decade.
If we are using football, this year is more like Chelsea's demise if anything.

| Agree that burrow should not have had a contract extension,had his time,been a great servant to the club,but time to move on,can't really see McGuire lasting much longer,should have gone for someone like widdop to replace sinfield,but obviously a player like that is going to cost and that's not GH way,buy cheap buy twice.with the amount of money generated in our club,signings should be a lot more ambitious.

| Replacing either of Sinfield or Peacock was always going to be tough. Finding a half back of that quality is almost impossible. I genuinely think GH thought this year would be Sinfield's last and his move to RU was a shock. Add to that Sutcliffe being injured and the 2 year planned transition was no more. We cannot produce half backs here and very few top halves ever come here - Carney is an exception and he would not have been available to Leeds anyway. Gidley would have been an ideal stop gap but Leeds weren't at the races where that was concerned.
Where GH should have done better is getting a hooker - Falloon is poor - we needed a serious player to organise and move the team around.
On the props Galloway should be better than he is showing but Garbutt should never have been signed he helped a tired side at the end of last season but he isnt even SL standard.
The most worrying thing of all is the lack of quality kids knocking on the door for selection. As the person responsible for all the coaching and development McDermott needs to brought to task on this. For this alone a change is required to the structure and the personnel within the coaching set up and that starts at the top

| Guys... you are all assuming that BMcD actually does something and would need replacing.
All we need is someone to do the post match interviews and play with an inflated rubber glove at half time.

| I think it's becoming more and more obvious that Sinfield/JP had a much bigger influence on the squad than even Mc.D himself stated when he highlighted how much they did in training/changing room and game by game management.
Personally i always thought this stage of the transition would be huge and the biggest yet previously we managed to evolve as a team despite not replacing stars on a like for like basis i.e Senior ,Ali ,Webb etc but at the same time we still had that core of strength/Leadership as the heartbeat of the squad.
Now we've lost that ,the players left behind have been exposed to not having that guidance nor that natural leadership to step in and fill the gaps.
Whatever the varying reasons of how we arrived at this point and granted there are many i do feel it's time for some fresh voices/ideas off the pitch and also a squad review which imo should see some departures and better quality recruited i think now would be perfect timing because the new Staff could settle in without any pressure to make the top 4 (not happening imo) & lay the foundations for 2017 going forward rather than starting cold in November.
Coaches leave Clubs all the time and its rare in RL they last over 3/4 yrs i thank Mc.D and his staff but imo the time for change has arrived
and i hope GH gets it right.

No chance - he is going to Catalans if other rumours are true?

With the current situation at the Rhinos, the rumours will come thick and fast and eventually one of them might be true. But I can't see it being this one.
