Easier to do when you've only got a bunch of players to work with for 4-6 weeks at a time and everything you tell them is fresh.
Is McLennan hitting the wall in terms of how much time he spends with a group of players? Are his routines, gameplans and training schedules losing their edge? |

All coaches hit that. It's just a question of when. It can be turned around though, even after a longer term slump, as Tony Smith demonstrated. |

So you agree it's time for him to prove how good he is.  |

| Quote: G1 "Eccleshill has suggested our CEO who in 13 years has delivered almost as many championship sides as the club earned in its' previous 100 years is "the problem" with the club.
He has also suggested taking the captaincy from Leeds most successful captain ever.
This after 3 defeats and 10/11 games into the League season.
Funnily enough after a similar number of games last year he was hailing the current coach (who he is now criticising) as Leeds greatest ever coach.
I'll make no judgment on Eccleshill's wild and reactionary mood swings but simply thought I'd point this out as some context for his thoughts.'"
Shush! It's just great to see substander back to it's old ways after two defeats!  |

Won't it lead to a big explosion somewhere?

It already has, and has caused Hudderfield Giants to be replaced by the something else entirely different to those Giants we have known all these years. |

And that's the silver lining to this particular cloud.
It's great as Leeds diminish to see the teams that are poised to take their place aren't the same old, same old.

My hope was that the Franchise system and limits on none federation players would help raise the standard of the game. It doesn't seem to be working yet. Although that probably does have to be a longer term objective. |

Well if we end up having a poor season I will expect Eccleshill to start feeding us unrest in the camp,how the players can't stand the coach,rumours of players wanting to go and play in Aus mainly to get away from the coach |

Those overseas limits were watered down amid furious back pedalling of the RFL under the scrutiny of employment lawyers but the RFL's heart is at least in the right place. |

Ah yes the old English Clubs goals at odds with the governing bodies goals for the sport. That will never change no matter what the sport.
The club's (all clubs, not just Leeds and not just RL) heart is in the right place as well as long as it affects other clubs ànd not themselves. |

| Will all be right again in the world if Leeds upset the form book and beat Huddersfield? Probably!!
This forum has more experts in 'How to run and coach a Super League team' than all the other forums put together!!
Not many have ever played though.... |
