The main things I worry about with the McDermott appointment, is how it will affect our attacking play, whether he can produce the gameplans and whether he is willing to drop players who do not perform.

The things I expect/hope from him are to bring a lot of discipline to the squad, have a high standard of fitness/strength and to be the best defensive team in the league.

Rule 1. I am always right. Rule 2. If in any case I appear wrong, refer to rule 1.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_42170.jpg



I'll base my judgment once were at least half way into the new season. He could shake things up again and revitalise the likes of JJB, Ablett and Webb, new ideas and ways of thinking or always good. It will also be interesting on the recruitment front with the sounds of another overseas player and possible coach coming over aswell. I just hope everyone has patience for McDermott to settle in before we are calling for his head.

The only opinion I can give of McDermott is based on his past record as a Head Coach of another SL club which, TBH, isn’t that brilliant.

I’m not filled with hope but only time will tell – either a stroke of inspired genius or a cheap option which will come back to bite our ar[sizes[/sizee.

I really hope it’s not the latter but I’ve not got a good feeling about his one.

It sounds to me like Leeds fans are trying to talk themselves into believing that McDermott is a good appointment, when deep down they know he is not the quality of coach they would expect at their club.

I know if I was a Leeds fan I would not be happy.

Why would Leeds fans worry about GH making Brian Mac head coach? His record of appointing head coaches over last 6 years or so has been pretty rewarding.

Fans of other clubs are clearly jealous of Leeds, hence their snide comments.

Unlike other clubs in Yorkshire, the future of Leeds looks pretty good to me icon_smile.gif

We've no idea as to whether he'll be a good appointment, but we're willing to give him a chance, even if it is a season earlier than we thought.

And as you're not a Leeds fan, don't you be worrying your pretty little head about us. icon_biggrin.gif

simply put: no, not at all.

He's shown little at harlequins to suggest he can cut it at a big club. Yeah i know, limited resources yadda yadda.

Saints, wigan and warrington have a major major advantage over us in the coaching department before you even discuss team sheets.

I think he should be given time, and I think his remit is re-building. I think we'll struggle to be champions next season, but we need to manage this transition well

rebuilding icon_lol.gif

rebuilding what?

Only 1 year ago we had won 3 titles on the trot. Donald and diskin leave and suddenly, magically we are rebuilding.

Geez, imagine if clarkson left? we'd be in MAJOR TRANSITION.
