Surely it depends on how the rest of the season pans out?
Our defence - Cas apart - looks better than last year & the attack is at last showing more variety.
McGuire I think will hang up his boots, probably JJB too.
What will be critical is what happens to Parcell, will his trip back home at the end of the season produce a Segayaro outcome?
Currently there are other SL coaches whose future is less secure than McDermott's.

Whatever your opinion (and i too thought it was time to go after the cas game), you cant deny that the players clearly wanted to play for the coach and eachother in the last couple of weeks.

True. Looks the complete opposite at Warrington.

Thing is, I like and respect Brian. But he just gives me to many head scratching moments. I'd like him to leave with dignity at the end of the season, maybe go on to become the England coach or something.

My money is for Cunningham to go first. Don't think anyone else will join him, smith will probably get some wins for Warrington sooner or later. He will go at the season end. If we get a top four finish the club will have a difficult decision regarding Brian Mac

Rick Stone must be on thin ice too.defeat this weekend and against us next week and he must on the brink.I agree re- Cunningham, looks in serious trouble and Catalans away today followed by an equally desperate Warrington next weekend are certainly not the 2 games you would hand pick to ease the pressure. Tony Smith is a strange one, i'm sure he will turn it around sooner or later but its already looking like SL chances are over for this year and like McDermott he has been in charge there for many years depends if those at the top feel now is the time to shake things up as to whether he goes or not.

As for McDermott, he will be thankful we got 2 home games after that humiliation at Cas against sides who were not really a threat, that said the attitude of the players in the games shows he has not lost the dressing room. He has at least bought himself another couple of months barring another Cas like showing in coming weeks.

"The Golden Generation finally has its Golden Fleece! They have Wembley Cup Final winners medals to add to their collection." 23/08/2014:



It's funny how after the Castleford game quite a few were saying they couldn't see us winning any of the next 4 games, but now those first two were easy predictable wins.

I personally expected more form Catalans after they had an undefeated start but should really have known better going off their usual sub standard away performances, you can't even argue that they were anything more than poor last week. As for Wakey, that game at home is as generally as easy as you want to make it. I did think the next three of Hudds, Warrington and Wigan were the real tests so we will see after them.Like i say, it's clear the players are playing for the coach off the last 2 games i don't think you can take a whole heap more from them though TBH as to where we are seriously at.

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

Like who said that Leeds would not win any of the next 4 fixtures and is now saying the last two games were easy?

I agree but it strikes me as odd at the same time.

Where has this level of performance been for the last 14 months? Did it really take GH threatening the sack for the players to stand up? If so, what does that say about the players?

Don't get me wrong i pleased we seem to have woken from our slumber but i cant help but feel it is just papering over the cracks.

Thats because it is.

We need to seriously buck our ideas up with regard to transfers, academy progression and off field coaching as we have fallen behind on all of them.

Nothing that cant be fixed, but one that is going to need some quite painful decisions to be followed through.

[quote="Gotcha in 2016":12w08s93]McDermott is going. I actually think he is more relaxed because of it, and seems to have let the shackles go. He apparently asked to finish the season, and that is what they agreed.[/quote:12w08s93] :lol: :lol: :lol::d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_11388.jpg

That sounds like something you'd say TBH, probably why you've pounced on it icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif
