icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg |

Fair point because if Lilley had to go to Bradford to move on it doesn't suggest any of the current coaching team will be able to add any value in that respect

Has Toovey added owt to Lilley's game? I have to say I've been a little underwhelmed considering all the hype regarding the former's coaching credentials.

Lilley said he his game has developed so much under Toovey, so I guess yes, if the players view is to go by.

| Quote: Gotcha "Printer to aid your little argument, if any consolation, Player and agent wanted to sign two year contract, Leeds wanted four year, but insisted they would not move away from three. So they got what they insisted on there. Also the player has agreed to do extra sessions for the club So they can show him he can be a quality half. It is all about opportunity for the player.
But in your haste to argue, you, along with most, missed the part of the announcement that is worth talking about. There is two players announced leaving, and two players announced coming in, and in addition Jack will now be in the 25 man squad.'"
You've managed to write a lot in this debate without actually writing anything of worth towards the original point.

I have told the original point. You keep going round the houses to somehow determine the player didn't get what he wanted, when he did. That is all I have corrected. Now to stop the childish pishing contest you seem to want, I have given you a bone on a negotiation the player didn't win.

You danced around wants he's actually wanted and asked for weeks .
If Leeds has essentially lied about Walker demanding to play only one position and posted a quote from him backing that up in their statement ONLY two weeks.....if that's all BS then why has he signed up so quickly afterwards. Leeds won't have changed any stance on anything since that statement was realised, GH and BM are too stubborn.

Its pointless discussing it with you mate, as you constantly contradict and change your point.
There is no change from me, which has been consistent all along, it is just it differs from your made up view of what was said, a view you seem to think is fine, but bad mouth others who know something different.
How many times have I actually said now about what his demand was? yet you still seem to want to twist it into something different for some reason. Leeds did change their stance, and contacted him and agent last week for a further meeting, which they had, and agreed to meet further this week if the club could do what was asked for. That meeting was supposed to be Thursday, but Leeds were so keen to get it sorted they arranged on Tuesday for it to be Wednesday morning. At 11:00 am on Wednesday Jack with agent signed the contract.s
Perhaps, GH has more sense than you give him credit for. And Perhaps you should listen to your own advice more often and stop spreading unfounded rumours to try and prove a point.

What you appear to be insinuating is the he wanted an 'opportunity' to play full back - I seriously doubt the club have ever said he won't get an 'opportunity' or baulked at him wanting said opportunity - so what exactly has changed?

Insinuated? I quite clearly stated the below.
Quote: Superted "The guarantee he wanted is what I mentioned is the key word in that statement he made, "opportunity". At no time, and Leeds also haven't said any such thing either, yet people have wrongly read into things incorrectly, has Jack demanded the number one shirt or starting fullback. At all times, Jack has told the club he doesn't feel he is an half back, and he is most comfortable at fullback. Furthermore telling them that he feels his best chance to break into first team rugby which is what he is striving to achieve is to concentrate on fullback for the term of his next contract, to give him the best opportunity of making it. The only guarantee he asked for is for equal opportunity, and the club to work with him as a fullback. Once he is established, they can develop him in whichever position they want, were his thinking.'"

| How can you guys be ar sed with these endless internet pi ssing contests that go nowhere with neither conceding an inch?!
On jack, I'm pleased it's resolved and did think it'd go that way. The Rhinos mantra of 'ask not what your club can do for you, but...' doesn't sit well with me though and I believe there's a position closer the middle that is more productive for both parties.

The last paragraph perhaps illustrates how far removed McDermott's thinking is from the reality. Management is a two way thing its about give and take - no one sided relationship ever fulfils its true potential - maybe BDSM is the exception that proves the rule
Do you think the bigger firms when recruiting the very best talent from university say this is about what you can do for us!!

McDermott bullies the younger players, some have been afraid just to walk past him for fear he may kick of with them for the slightest thing.
He also has been known to offer out a young player who had the cheek to walk behind him to rack some weights whilst he was using the punchbag.

I don't know whether this is true or not but he certainly intimidates journalists
