So the Championship player of the year - who's therefore rated higher than ANYONE from half the teams we'll be playing in a few weeks - isn't worth a spot in the most malfunctioning Leeds team in living memory? Right. Something smells rotten.

What is it with BMcD falling out with prop forwards? Burgess, Griffin, Amor, Cross, Singleton, Baldwinson. In management there are only so many times you can have personal problems with people before it becomes clear that the problem is actually with you.

Young player of the year.

Lee Gaskell was the player of the year.

I think his agent missed the whole point of Jerry Maguire.

Do you have to infect every thread with your headache-inducing vomitus?

Well we read on here that allegedly the offer Leeds made him wages-wise pre-NZ move was described by him and a family member as derisory and insulting......yet when NZ didn't work out look where he came back to with his tail between his legs.

Do you have to continue being an oxygen thief?

What's the matter? Are you struggling to find an angle in which to derail this thread onto the 1980's or Australia/NRL?

Hardaker currently on the wing as he suggested to mac that if he brings a table and chairs the players will bring the picnic and put it where kallum stands also a punishment

Ah ok. Point still sort of stands though.

That rumour was from a couple of months back and he continued to play FB. His punishment is for being a tool on Twitter 2 weeks ago threatening to go round to people's workplaces and fight them.

Either way mac showing his grudges are bigger than the teams needs

REALLY?! Our 'esteemed' coach would play England's no 1 full back (or, previous no 1 full back) in a position unfamiliar to him as a 'punishment' - is he trying to punish the fans too?

We're the ones paying hard earned money to go watch a team that can't seem to do anything right. I'm glad I opted to pick and choose games I wanted to see this year, I sure as hell would be pi$$*d if I had paid so much for a season ticket to watch this crap week in week out.

He's not unfamiliar with playing wing, did so at the start of his Leeds career and at Featherstone previously. I'd imagine he might've been dropped had we more fit backs available but we don't so the alternative was the wing. And don't just assume the punishment for acting like an idiot on social media and showing the club up came solely from McDermott.

My mistake.

DHM was more accurate in his assessment.

I should have said "migraine-inducing" vomitus instead.

How are Yorkshire doing in the cricket this week? What was it, from 226-4 to 237-9???? County Championship mediocrity by plenty.

Good job Joe Root has buggered off back to his proper team.

Keep it up Printer, you're clearly getting under his skin

If a lot of what's been said in this thread is true then McDermott needs to go, I'm guessing it's not though.
