Dear Mr McDermott.
Thank you for getting us to old Trafford again. Regardless of next weeks result well done again.
However please next season can we play better all year rather than the last 5-6 weeks. Now don't get me wrong I like a roller coaster ride but not one that lasts 8 months.
Once again well done.

We'll be selling special 'Play off season tickets' next year to watch all our games in the playoffs after finishing 5th.

I really don't give a f*** about the rest of the season if we win next week. I would far rather us win the GF after an indifferent league period, than win every league game by 50 points and not win the GF.
If you're asking for both a GF and a spectacular league season, you need to reset expectations. |

You come at the king - You better not miss.
It ain't what you takin', it's who you takin' from, ya feel me? How you expect to run with the wolves come night when you spend all day sparring with the puppies?:41106.jpg |

I'd happily finish 8th every year as long as we keep reaching Grand Finals 
It'd be nice if we could win a CC too but given that we keep reaching the final we can hardly knock anyone for not trying |

Oh don't get me wrong I'll take a win next week anytime. We have one the tital from top and second, so why can't we do it again. Don't think that is expecting too much. |

While ever the top 8 playoff is in it's current guise you cannot fault the way Leeds approach the season. Regardless of next Weeks result McDermott has managed to get the team to peak at the correct time 2 seasons on the Trot.

To be fair nothing's won yet. Glad we have an extra day recovery but that will have taken its toll on us.

To an extent I disagree. We've reached the GF and that in itself is an achievment that is worth basking in.
We've entered 2 comps and reached 2 finals - can't actually expect more in a season (tho would still like to win  ) |

[quote="G1":1x8x7ghm]Nice one Andy. You articulated a differing opinion given reasons and substance.
There's really no place for the likes of you on Substandard.  [/quote:1x8x7ghm]:7098.jpg |

I would love to see us play consistently well throughout the season. But you have to give credit to McDermott to get us in form in February, then again throughout the rounds of challenge cup culminating in a final appearance in August and then again in late sept is outstanding.
Well done Brian and all of the players. Best Leeds team ever.

McDermott has entered 4 comps during his time as coach and reached 4 finals. Yet there are fans calling for his head on a weekly basis.

Again we've played the max no of games this season. Pacing ourselves clearly works. When will the other learn
