| Quote G1="G1"I hope you're right but my recollection is Smith's teams generally cut free and loose in the 2nd half of games after building up momentum and a head of steam and tiring the opposition with a more controlled approach in the 1st half.
If McDermott doesn't think the players have the skills set to implement his game plan he's an even worse coach for sticking to it, IMHO.
I hope we're playing the long game but if I were McDermott I'd be more worried about making sure I was involved in the short to medium game.
We're not a million miles away. He doesn't have to abandon his principals just get a more patient balance.'"
On principles ..how many American head teachers is he abandoning exactly ?
Up until now I have been reticent to join the clamour for dispensing with the coach..... Without seeing the embarrasing half time lack of animation I would have definitely said give the guy more time after the Friday performance.
However surely inspiration from any " boss " is critical in getting the best from your team ? Didn't appear there was much evidence of that.
Did the team raise its game first half despite the coach not because of him ? Will be interesting to see how the team performs against H K R

| C'mon Nantwich you saw 30 seconds of the dressing room with no sound how's that long enough to judge how he is as an inspirational coach or otherwise?

I did state "didn't [iappear[/i"
I would not condemn the man with circumstantial 'evidence' only......but you must admit it didn't [iappear [/igood ?? He looked as though he just wanted to be invisible and lost for inspirational words.

No I haven't.
There's a difference between making an observation where there is an APPARENT cause for concern ...and condemning outright.
It would take more investigation and research to do that: commensurate with what I stated.

| Quote RugbyLeague56="RugbyLeague56"As a Harlequins RL fan who was delighted to see Brian McDermott leave, I wonder how Leeds' fans are feeling about his appointment as your new coach?
Any thoughts?'"
i actually think that brian is going down the correct road regarding the style of footy he wants his side to play,whether or not it is deemed successful or actually wins any silverware during his tenure only time will tell
those opposed to his style must love watching wrestle mania?
i am prepared to give brian the length of his contract at the club to deliver the goods,not like some knee jerk supporters that would have him out already

| I don't know why your banging on about your coach, the problem is the board, what the hell do they do with the cash? You have not invested in your side for a few seasons now, you have let class players leave without replacing, you have allowed an aging squad to go past their sell by date and not replaced and players have gone totally of the boil and zero done about it, same old, same old and watch the decline, get off the coaches back and see the real problems.

You are Brian McMuppet's younger brother and I claim my £5.

| He does have a point though.
Mid season - Leeds dispence with two props - people assume it's to free up space on the cap, one less quota player and wonder aloud 'who is coming in?'
They've had their answer.
