Completely agree. Pipe dream to get Noble - maybe. Someone from the NRL - that's a real dream. In the middle of a season, playing as we are. Yep, those Aussies are going to be jumping at the chance.

| It's not just todays game though. Each game we have played we don't seem to have a game plan or if we do it doesn't transfer to the pitch. Even Wigan which was our best performance this year we didn't have much structure and lost the plot in the last 15 minutes.

Dont want to take anything away from your win, You deserved the win, and played better than us. I cant really comment on your performance as I havent seen many KR games this year to compare it to, however I certainly dont think we help ourselves at times.

| Whilst it's not been great so far this season, and I am thoroughly pi55ed off with the lack of structure we show in both defence and attack, it's too soon to get rid of McDermott now. He has not had enough time to get the team to play the style he wants them to play, nor has he had enough fit bodies to work with.
However, should he not be able to significantly improve performances once he has either had more time (say June or July), or he gets a fit and settled team, then he should be shown the door at the end of this season. The current level of performance cannot be allowed to continue for the rest of the season and him to keep his job for next year. Changing coaches in mid season only makes sense if there is someone better available.

| I'm not sure. How many did we have out today 7/8?
Any team that has that many players out will look below standard.
However why on earth did it take him 40 mins to realise playing Lee Smith on one leg isn't a good idea. He was never going to be a threat on the ball, and he was never going to be able to make any cover tackles. A damaged hamstring is a damaged hamstring - once they go they just go, they certainly don't heal with more exercise. I'm sure he knew that but he thought the sacrifice of taking a man out of the pack was the greater sacrifice.

| Quote: Adi Saunders "How long was Dean Lance in charge before action was taken to remove him from his position? Whilst I am not saying McDermott should leave Headingley with his head on a stake something needs to be done.
Might be an pipe dream but how about:
Noble - Head Coach
McDermott - Assistant (as he should have been)
Lowes - Elsewhere, maybe Hull FC head coach
Gibson - As you were quite like him'" Lance was with Leeds for a season and a half before departing. There is no way Hetherington will get rid in the middle of a coach's first season when everyone sane knows what is happening now is largely irrelevant to whether the season is deemed a success.
Whilst Noble would doubtless love the job he's never going to get it.

| Gawd. I hope we never see Noble here at Headingley. BMD has not impressed me at all so far, but we're stuck with him to the season's end at least.
In his defence though, the hospital passes by Sinny, Burrows, and the persistant forward ones by Senior, Webb and Hall, plus the sheer stupidity at times by JJB and Ablett can all be attributed to the players.

And who's job is to stop them doing that, and give them the confidence and an actual game plan?
I always think back to when we got shot of Powell. A friend of mine said something along the lines of 'what difference will a new coach make? He won't stop so-and-so knocking on, or player X giving away stupid penalties?', but, as Tony Smith so wonderfully proved, a good coach can stop those things being a regular occurence.

Absolutely. There was no necessity to persist in his debilitating agony especially when Ablett covered the position so well last week.
Taking off Buderus when he did puzzled me too. Back to the unfathomable Buderus/Diskin scenario !!?

Its the players and coaches who are to blame. Its not like the bd passes are a one off BMD has had all season and off season to rectify these issues.

"Entertaining" In McDermott's dictionary is defined as throwing games away, trying to play with swagger and ripping off the paying public though!! He needs to go i'm afraid!

| The Hull KR fans seemed to find it very entertaining.
I don't blame them. They needed a confidence boost. We were happy to oblige.
