I have been a season ticket holder for 10 years (& I am not 12 12 refers to my DOB) and I am dumfounded how McDermott cannot see the problems on field.

Just one of them is Zak Hardaker is a great player and his winger is our best try scorer as evidenced by the last 2 seasons but Hardaker is unable to pass to his left and cuts in every time hence Ryan Hall has to go looking for scraps.

If McDermott does not change things soon the crowd will start baying for his head again

The very same fickle ts baying for his head again will be worshipping at the 'Temple of Mac' when he coaches the rhinos to another SL title from 5th or 6th. These current losses and poor performances don't matter.

I hope your right Saints and Hudds I can put up with but the cows were worse than a conference side, which puts it all into perspective. Worst game I have watched in 20 years last Friday!

So far Mcdermott has won us a trophy and we're still in with a shout of 3 more, no need to panic.

They aren't even close to serving up the level of garbage they managed last year and look how that turned out in the end? Yes, it was a lousy game on Friday completely devoid of any skill, nous or game plan from either side. Awful to watch and disappointing that Leeds were beaten by a poor side who had nothing to offer in attack apart from speculative Ben Jeffries kicks on the last tackle. Worst game I've seen in the last 20 years? Not sure due to lapsing memories but it does qualify for inclusion among the worst.

ok then with this problem i would move hall to the other wing were Watkins has no problem passing to his winger hall
would get a lot of ball and give Jamel Chisholm a go on the other wing

Australian centres are well good at passing to their wingers. We should look over there for someone.

Agreed, and no point getting someone who is young and learning the game. A nice 30+ year old Aussie is what we need.

Tahu

Jamie Lyon

Paul Bell?

Like Brett Delaney you mean

Do Sheffield have anyone?

Bring back Keef

No, there isn't, and yes, we all know we won it from 5th last year. This doesn't mean we just drift along happily believing that everything will sort itself out in the end.

I share the OP's frustrations about Hardaker's reluctance to pass to his winger, and the line trotted out that he hasn't had much opportunity does not wash anymore. Ablett, as a makeshift centre, gave the ball to Hall at every opportunity last season. We've all seen what Hall can do even in tight spaces. I know it will likely come in time, but just a few weeks ago I watched an interview with Ryan Atkins saying that it was Tony Smith that gave him the belief that he could actually pass! What a sorry state of affairs for English Rugby League that international centres don't believe in their ability to carry out basic skills.
