I think it's far too early to talk about getting rid of Mac. I've seen most of Quins home games under his leadership and whilst on the whole I think he did a decent job, there was always a question mark over how much the relative lack of talent and depth in squad (compared to Leeds) contributed to declines in performance over the years.

My Quins supporting wife commented that the Leeds performance against Quins was like watching Quins last year and I have to say the errors, poor defence and apparent lack of structures against Wire had similarities to Quins last year too. FWIW I didn't expect a Leeds victory but I did expect a resonse to the Quins game.

Rob Powells most telling comment at the start of the season was that Quins had had to relearn how to defend in the off season - how telling a comment that is on Mac's ability as a coach will only be revealed as the season progresses. In my mind the players have to take most of the responsibility for their performance against Wire, but the coaching team can't be entirely blameless.

Better now than when more lasting damage is done. At least Quins had the pre season to learn how to defend again.

How long do we realistically give him? I know were missing a few key players but in my opinion we've looked shocking in 3 out of 4 games so far. Here's hoping we improve but I can't honestly see it with those 2 at the helm.

time will tell but having listen to his question and answer session at Whitehaven with all the experience we have we will come good. but we will have to make changes in some key postions

I have noticed that not one of the Quins fans that have posted on here have had a good word to say about the bloke. In fact most of them seem glad to be rid of him.

Only time will tell but I'm not holding my breath.

We can't have


Agar is still at Hull FC

BOOM!!

And in one instant my faith is restored, thanks Lawrie!

ah, but remember, we are simple southern folk who know nothing about the game of RL. Our opinion has to be taken with a pinch of salt...after all, we eat cockles and welks, miss our "aiches' from words and wear velvet jackets covered in shiny pearls......

Seriously, get used to some pretty boring rugby league from your team this year until he leaves.....which I believe will be before September.

The ironic thing about this post is that our rugby so far has been many things, but boring certainly isn't one of them...

sorry........it will become boring once you get to see it a few more times...and predictable....well, at least predicatable to the opposition.
Boredom isn't instant......it takes time. We had over 3 years.....Leeds should cut their losses now.

Oh dear, McDermott is resorting to his "hard work" answer already !!

I won't be calling for a change in the coaching staff yet, but the question marks are getting bigger every week. We completely lack structure, and a game plan based on offloads only works when you are going forwards, so the other teams defence is not organised.

If BMD is asking the players to play a style that they cannot, who is to blame?

McDermott couldn't coach a turd out of his own backside, living down here in the smoke i've seen Quins enough to see he's pap. I said it pre-season and a few of you guys absolutely panned me for it and called me a troll.........hmmmm

How long did Leeds sign him for???!
