| Quote spinnerhowland="spinnerhowland"Brian will not be traveling to the USA until after the UK Superleague Season. His commitment is to take the USA Hawks thru the Qualifiers that are going to be played very late in the year. About a 3 week commitment. The domestic USA coaching staff will take care of all Hawks preparation up until that point. We were VERY careful to ensure that Leeds are not affected by this role, and with the partnerships between Leeds and their visit to the USA we would never take away anything that leads them to another Championship.
And with Leeds committing to training camp in the USA again for 2016, it may prove to have "fruits" beyond the known player base at the moment.'"
You're wasting your time, some people just love to be outraged by stuff the club does.

| Quote RhinoNeil="RhinoNeil"From a Rhinos POV its a joke, anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot.

We are one of, if not the only professional Rugby League club without a full time assistant. That alone is a joke. Look at what our rivals have as a right hand man, are they all wrong and McDermott is right?
And now he becomes head coach of USA. He states he will be in the states during the Rhinos off season. BRILLIANT! Whilst we go through our biggest ever transition, with at least JP and Kev leaving, this won't be at the front of Brians mind. Whilst Cunningham, Wane etc. will be plotting a successful 2016 season, albeit with a some leisure time, so when their players report back for pre season training they can smash it....McDermott and Leeds on the other hand.... Putting the Rhinos needs to one side, everyone needs a break in life, but not Brian it seems.
Its a joke..'"
Well there's something you don't see every week....
RhinoNeill overreacting.

| Jesus H. I hope some of these are trolling efforts. If not I'd have to question the mental ages of the some posters.
Actually, either way I'd have to question the mental ages of some posters.

It is a bit of a joke really. I mean here we are languishing in top spot in the league and as for the Cup well our coach couldn't even keep us out of the semi finals could he. That's two years running he's gone and done that. If only he had an assistant we could have done so much better!!

| Did Kieran Cunningham have help from an assistant coach to bring out that Saints performance last Friday night?

| Interestingly the Leeds Rhinos facebook page (presumably Phil Daily) actually bothered to respond to one comment along similar lines to some of the posts here
Quote Leeds Rhinos="Leeds Rhinos"Brian has two full time assistants in Chris Plume and Barry Eaton, outside of their first team commitments with the Rhinos, Chris looks after the Under 19s and Barry is Head Coach of Hunslet Hawks, neither of which are full time teams and train on evenings'"
So he has TWO assistants? No wonder he can take on the USA job the part timer.....

Plus Jason Davidson and the most experienced and successful group of senior players in SL.
Until recently we were happy with a SL head coach also running the England team, which is a monumentally bigger and more complicated job than USA head coach.
Basically McDermott has taken on a part time job for when he's not coaching Leeds. Most people work Monday to Friday, if someone takes on a Saturday job too then what's the problem?

| When you think after over a century people in England complain about us bringing in teams in London or Oxford, but the US manage to run teams from boston to Atlanta to florida. Its a monumental effort from those guys, and fully deserving of the game over here doing whatever it can to help.
Good luck to Brian, Good luck to the hawks.

| Oh I get it, now Leeds are currently winning so everyone has swept aside their disapproval of McDermott. I'm sure just a few weeks ago when McDermott chose to play with just two subs everyone was up in arms and calling for this head?Typical fickle southstander. If Wigan hand our backsides to us tomorrow this forum will be in up in arms. All along I have backed McDermott at Leeds (and still do) I just call for him to have a decent No2. So on the whole my issue is not about McDermott taking on the USA job, its with him having no assistants and trying to oversea a huge transitional period. Barry Eaton and Chris Plume, come on....you're kidding right?
