I imagine we are in danger of dropping out of your mini league on current showing. Who will be in our mid table table next year?

I think someone earlier in this thread (or possibly another one) quoted McDermott as saying that Burrow was on the bench because he has played a lot of game time this year.

If he is resting players for matches like this then doesn't it say that he feels it was a game we couldn't win so no point risking injuries? Surely we want all our best players on the pitch for as long as possible against the top teams. If anyone needed resting they should have been subbed early last week.

And please please please start with Ali on the bench not on the pitch. Surely last week against Quins showed he is miles better coming on against tired defences rather than starting.

If that's the case then lets see if he drops all the players last night who gave away penalties for back chatting the ref. Could be an interesting 17 next week!

I sky + the game as well and watched it this morning. Think it was eddie who mentioned robbie was rested as he had played lot of game time this year

That's a question well worth raising.

Is SL a 4-team competition this season rather than a 5-team competition?

The bookies still think it's a 5-team competition.

OT but those are crazily short odds for Wigan and long for Huddersfield. Are Wigan really over 7 times more likely to win it than Huddersfield?

You'd have to be mental (or a Wiganer: the two groups intersect) to back Wigan at those odds. Buy Huddersfield now & lay if you want when the odds come in.

Good odds for hudds

There's no way your still in that league sweetcorn, me thinks your team of old men and crocks are soon to become part of THE RABBLE.

Welcome

Got to be a 4 team comp this year now, especially if we lose Friday to saints.

leeds rhinos management have been too complacement. smith and the first two years of bluey were great. it was obvious to all we needed to go back to a top class technical coach and we needed to start and replace ageing players with younger class players.
instead GH has sat on his laurels, looked at the big crowds rolling in, at the corporate side which is a huge profit maker, maybe even the RU side i don't know, and taken his eye of the ball.
the appointment of the chuckle brothers was a joke as was the recruitment.
hetherington must bite the bullet, get rid of the two idiots in charge and write the season off.
bring in someone experienced, a murray or a lang, to not only run the side but to identify who needs replacing with who and to sort out a new coach. a coach who will be the right choice

If the season is deemed a write off do you think GH would be that Ruthless?
I thought he would in the past but i just don't get that impression he would be with Mcdermott and Lowes.
With all the speculation surrounding Buderus going home but he seems keen to stay here maybe some sort of coaching role is in the pipeline for him!!
I hope he (Mc) turns it around i really do but that selection of the 17 on friday was baffling at best given that young Macca ,Biffa and Clarkson were'nt inured.
I think that Mc may keep his job if the GH shows inten re-squad recruitment/retention and lest him have a say in it.
