What was the background to this post shag?



Guffaw.

I thought about giving some to the Jayne Tomlinson fund.

Does everyone around here think that is a worthy cause?

Some people must have been reading different posts from G1 about McClennan than me. The only point I thought he was trying to make was that some fans appeared to be playing blatant double standards when talking about Smith (boo hiss) and McClennan (hoorah) when virtually the same events were unfolding.

Anyway, I have to admit to being WRONG re Ablett in the centres, we somehow won with him there after all. Hence me not being a coach.



Well done Brian.

Thanks a lot. You've just restored my faith that there are a few people on here how can apply common sense and comprehension.

I said after the GF win in 2004 that Smith had won a heck of a lot of brownie points as coach after winning the first Championship in 30 years, and I really don't understand why he was pilloried to the ridiculous extent of suggesting that Leeds could/would have won in 2004 with Powell still in charge. And yet there has been little on here suggesting that this side is Smith's. Which it is in many ways.

I also think people pay far too much credence to gossip about players 'not liking' the coach. I'm not sure liking matters as much as respecting, and I also don't care given Smith's record. This isn't the Wigan side of the 80s where they were able to win despite the team disliking Dorahy - I don't believe for a second that this team is in any way that far superior to Sts that they could win a GF 33-6 without significant input from the coach.

Having said that McClennan was on a hiding to nothing this year - Leeds could easily have come up with nothing, so genuine credit to him also.

Gary Hetherington must be doing something right afterall.

Three Championships in five years (including a back to back) is unheard of territory for any sporting club from Leeds.

The only blot is Leeds' lack of recent success in the Challenge Cup.

I don't want to sound needy or ungrateful though.

I have to be honest, but I never saw anybody on these boards lambasting Smith in his first year at Leeds.

Therefore I fail to see the hypocrisy. The only thing I see is two people who have dug a very big hole for themselves and are struggling to get out of it.

Yes but can we trust what you see DISA? Did you see Phil Daly this weekend?

Good luck getting out of that hole.

Unfortunately in your case you have a bigger one than Danny. You displayed your serious lack of knowledge of not only the game, but talent of players during the week.

And whilst I dont like to gloat, with regards to Lee Smith, you can kiss my hairy buttocks.
