For every sliver lining eh Sal

Isn't that the point though. It's about the people involved and their stories, more than the game. It was better than I expected it to be. We came out thinking less of McDermott. Would love te read what's in Kev's note book

How did it portray McDermott?

| who knows Mac could one day be working for Kev at the RFL . I wonder if it was Kev's relationship with Mac that influenced him to finish when he did ? I think he had another year left on his contract

Not seen this yet and it's not a direct comparison but when you consider who we lost from the 2015 squad plus the age of some of the remaining lads imo the Team that won last Years GF defied huge odds showed loads of quality and nothing should take away from their achievement.

Loads of rumours were going round about how Kevs and MCs relationship soured after he announced he was retiring so it's no surprise that this has come to light.

| Got the DVD after the game Friday and watched it yesterday. It was good but like Sal said not enough game action. I preferred The Golden Decade DVD that was brought out with pretty much the same people talking about all the Grand Final, WCC and Challenge Cup memories and stories.
In As Good As It Gets the Challenge Cup win is hardly mentioned. To win a major final 50-0 Is a remarkable achievement with records broken everywhere but it was overlooked for me. Hardly a mention of Briscoe's 5 try feat.

| Thoroughly enjoyed it, not quite what I expected. This is not a rugby league film as such. Focus is more on the inner workings and inter-personal relationships. Parts got me quite emotional. My partner (not a RL fan) even found it really emotional, as well as funny, and I think it has sparked a wider interest in her for the game, or at least the people inside the shirts.
I quite liked that it wasn't game action heavy, but I think more behind-the-scenes footage could have been a nice touch. Actually catching some of the tense moments talked about on camera would have been immense.

| Ask Sinfield, and Peacock for that matter, who the best coach he has ever played under is and he will say McDermott so I wouldn’t read too much in to the film and how it is perceived. Loved it by the way!

The documentary was quite an eye opener for me to be honest. Even McD's biggest apologists may have to admit he doesn't come out of that looking great.

| Watched it on Amazon, thought it was great, seemed a lot shorter than its 1hr37mins, some great insights, I’m not sure BM comes across that badly, he is an interesting character, and a flawed one, but often successful people are, one thing for sure we have all been very lucky to watch that team for the last 15 or so years, got me quite emotional.
