He's on his way anyhow, and quite possibly earlier than anticipated. I believe we are both in agreement over the unsuitability and coaching record of his likely replacement-in-waiting, yes? |

I think both are good coaches and have done great jobs for Leeds but the squad is that bit older and the injuries run deeper and we caught a team who were red hot yesterday and maybe we are done for this year although i'll never write us completely but there's more to come from the Rhinos imo and we are not done yet.'"
A good motivator for sure and certainly motivated a hungry team which was at its best to succeed..............as I believe TS would have done.
The difference being I think TS would have moved a number of players along over the period Bluey has been here. |

So are you expecting Bluey to go at the end of the year and Brian Mc to take over? |

I think it's entirely possible that McClennan will make his exit earlier than anticipated, assuming some of the rumours I've heard recently are true. One year contract extensions don't mean a great deal as Scott Donald will testify. I don't even want to consider Brian (7th, 9th, 9th, 11th, 12th) McDermott as his likely replacement. |

Finally someone on the same wavelength. I thought iwas the only one who thought he wouldn't be up to it.
General consensus on here seemed to be good choice. |

Don't worry about avoiding temptation.

If fit Ali should have played but he is a risk now. However even had he played it would not have made enough the difference. Too many players had an off day. Nothing went right even the Wires crowd made more noise. The Leeds fans were subdued even before the game. No "Marching on Together" etc

To be fair to Brian Mc he was highly rated here before he left for Quinns mate and i see yer point re-SL finishes but he's had very little to work with imo. |

What he's had he's taken backwards, in terms of SL finishing positions.
That would be the concern although it's not forced to be replicated at a club able to spend close to the cap which I imagine is a luxury he's not enjoyed in the big smoke. Either way Leeds' next coach will have a tougher job on his hands than the previous two.

I'm inclined to agree mate they will have the added pressure of following 2 championship winning coaches and that's before they have to see the club through it's "transitional" phase. |

Agreed Ali should have played. At last we've realised that's the song for a different club entirely... |
