Always said by who, you?

Care to remind us of these prolonged injury situations under Powell, Smith & McClennan, I can't remember anything as bad as last year.

cas and wigan had as bad a year injury wise and they didn't do to badly

Mcdermott has overseen plenty of success that's set in stone & a big part of our Clubs history.
What has been revealed & by his own admission is how reliant he was on Legends Sinfield & Peacock.
Im still 100% he should have gone last year & hope this is his last.
Finally wrt "Coaching" given the calibre of players he's had at his disposal over the years name 1 he has improved??

keinhorst. but i'm struggling to name another.

thing is, not all the coaches are the same. powell and wane are way better than macdermott at structure and improving players, and i'd love one of them here now.
but macdermott was perfect for us when we had the ' glory years'.
we wouldn't have won as much, certainly under wane, in that period as he would have coached a lot of flair out of the side. macdermott was happy to set things up and let the team play.
he is a legend, and should be remembered as one, but I honestly don't think he's the right type of coach for this side now

i'll also add that I've no idea if Hetherington has 100% say on recruitment/contracts, i'm pretty sure brian must have a say.
between them they've brought a lot of cheap, average dross in during the last couple of years

I'd say this is a fair assessment. Coaches have a shelf life. Players, I think Senior in particular were quite vocal in saying Bluey had reached the end of his. I think Brian Mac is at the same point.

I have a lot of respect for him. he speaks well, talks a lot of sense and is passionate about the game. i'd love him high up at the RFL. he's bring a lot of sanity to the game

one thing I don't get. when semi finals, finals and play offs come around, he invariably sets up a great game plan and his use of interchanges are near perfect.
league games it often looks as if the players have met for the first time just before kick off and his use of subs?????
