Unless he came out and sacked McDermott then some on here would've found some fault with whatever he did/said.

Next 6 -

Catalans - H

Wakefield - H

Huddersfield - A

Wigan - H

Warrington - A

Hull - A

After the Wakey game i really can't make a case for us picking up a point in the following 4 in all honesty.

It's been said many times that he has his head in the sand, and proven. I can't see how waiting another week would have made the slightest bit of difference. Fans are fickle, and a result against Catalans and those gullible ones will change views again, as far as I am concerned.

I'm not so sure. i mean it's been pretty clear for a while, even during the 2 wins we have had so far, that the side is pretty brittle and really lacks ideas, brutally exposed lack Thursday. I will be very surprised if we beat Catalans but i wouldn't rule it out completely. I highly doubt it will be won through good rugby or any fundamental changes to the gameplan though, more likely Catalans having one of their poor away days and us grinding it out.

He's 35 & injured "again" mate more SC sat in the treatment room like i said maybe on a PAYP/Assist Coach deal then yea but not on a full 1st team deal imo.

Given the opening line of the E-mail mate id say he was more or less forced to say something.
Wrt the content GH has previous with this tone of public statement wrt Staff/Player reviews his biggest test is still to come imo i.e Does he have the nadgers to pull the trigger on the Coaching Staff/Playing staff to the level required & then still have the knack of signing Qulity players & the Correct type of Coach!!

huddersfield are terrible at the moment. Bar a great WCC performance wire have been pants. Catalan's always run hot and cold Wakefield try hard but aren't great.

It's a decent run of games to see where we are at. 4 wins and McDermott probably keeps his job. Any fewer and any more capitulation and he has to go.

you could also say Huddersfield are equally desperate for points, and always seem to grow a leg against us, especially at home in the regular rounds. Warrington also are bound to hit their straps soon for me, i can see them starting against Wigan on Thursday, this is the game i fear most out of that lot as when Wire click at home they can rack up a cricket score against anyone.

I agree regards the two home games coming up, they represent our best chance of points by far for me and are must wins for Mac.

I wonder if GH already has plans in place for at the end of this period that he feels that changes at coaching and playing areas must be made ?

I think the days of us thinking "don't worry, Gary will have a plan in place" are long gone.

Is it acceptable to want to lose the next 4?

Is it acceptable for a 'win 4/10' scenario to be acceptable?

Completely, it would be the best outcome for Leeds. Hopefully losing the next two shall suffice.
