Good effort.

But if someone with teh photoshop skillz can put Sam Tomkins, hand on knee, on the other half of the sofa then it becomes A++.

Quote RhinoNeil="RhinoNeil"Bluey speaks out! : www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... tlead.html'" More misplaced chelping and lack of rational leadership focus from an increasingly embarrassing coach ahead of the most important fixture of the season. The only surprise being that he hasn't yet set up a Twitter account to make a complete twit of himself on there too. He seriously needs to STFU. All in stark contrast to the more professional approach of the Wigan coach who has maintained a dignified silence. I do hope the rumours I've heard regarding his early departure and release from the one year contract extension are true. His time is up. Phil Clarke by plenty.

There was a poster on here, AP, who thought the sun shone out of Bluey's arris when Leeds appointed him.

I think I would edge towards your opinion more than his these days.

Not that I disagree that the Leeds coach would be best keeping quiet on these things, but

McLennan's comments in full:

"They are tasteless comments which really disappoint our club, I'm not impressed. I don't really need to say much to stick up for Danny McGuire because his deeds throughout his career speak for themselves. I defy you to go to any player in Super League and say that Danny McGuire is a dirty or cheating player. It's disappointing that he's come out of that major operation on Friday and his family have informed him that this has been written about him. We won't be using that as motivation, We don't get motivated by negative things. What we're motivated by is a desire to do well for each other and for Maggsy and Jamie Peacock."

Not exactly controversial this time. The worst he did was call Clarke's comments tasteless, which is not incorrect.

Well done McLennan for sticking up for his players.

Poor attempt at stirring there

Anyone that bother's to read the article will see there's nothing controversial in what McClennan says there - and I have little doubt he was asked a direct question about Clarke by the Journo that also wrote the article as "McClennan hits out"

McClennan says the team aren't motivated by negative things but all the same I'm sure it's doing no harm in creating a siege mentality.

I'm beginning to think Leeds could have handled this better. At least leave this sort of thing to GH who has experience of such matters with his various spats with Caisley and Hood.
