Each brilliant in two vastly different ways.

Let's have a look at how he coped at London/Quins.

In 5 seasons, they finished 7th, 9th, 9th, 11th and 12th.

Applying the same trend, if he coaches Leeds for 5 seasons, they may finish 4th, 6th, 6th, 8th and 9th under his regressive 'big daft lad' tutelage.

rlIt’s like we’ve just appointed rugby leagues answer to Dan Harris from the first episode of this years Apprenticerl

Time will tell!!

Have faith!!

You're late Keith.

I expected you here two weeks ago picking up whoever it was called McNamara "England/GB's worst ever coach" given the Four Nations results.

That will have been me...I fully accept how innaccurate my opinion proved to be. No really...

I didn't deem it necessary to state the bleedin' obvious that Tony Smith would remain the worst ever coach overseeing the worst ever touring squad which included sundry Leeds Rhinos players involvement.

Not even McNamara and his squad could compete with that level of [icarnage[/i.

Jeff, you seem to have no hardship in running Leeds players down, I wonder do you have the same penchant for other teams, as a real salt of the earth rugby fan would, or do you save your blurb for the club you secretly love?

Trolling in its purest form.

Trolling
1.
Being a pr[ii[/ick on the internet because you can. Typically unleashing one or more cynical or sarcastic remarks on an innocent by-stander, because it's the internet and, hey, you can.

2.
Trolling is the act of purposefully antagonizing other people on the internet, generally on message boards. When done in a moderated internet community, this can result in banning. When done to uptight people such as fundies, this can result in hilarity.

Personally, it just bores me.

It is of no concern of mine that some people are uncomfortable with facts - the main fact being that McNamara and his touring squad were more successful than the carnage wrought by Tony Smith and his touring squad which included sundry Rhinos players.

I do appreciate however that it must be a huge disappointment to some here that McNamara and his touring squad weren't hammered into embarrassing oblivion in a similar or even worse manner than Tony Smith's touring squad was two years ago.

Are you ignoring me Jeffrey, or I am too close to the truth for comfort?

Winning in style?? Hmmmm, there are bigger problems to address:

1 - Defence (on and off the ball - markers, scrambling delaney etc)

2 - Penalties (give far too many away)

3 - Looking after the ball (awful)

4 - Not compounding errors, then giving away a penalty!

5 - applying pressure, looking for repeat sets, to break down and wear down opposition.

6 - general kicking game - make sure we are playing at the right end etc.

Playing good stuff is earnt on the back of doing the nitty gritty above.

If you don't do the hard stuff you don't have the right to do the pretty stuff.

Who was unpopular with fans and players alike and we got rid of him whereas you're claiming that's a good reason to sign him?

thats the rub. but for me i dont care if they win with style or flair i just want leeds to win
