Quote: Juan Cornetto "
So I would have brought on BJB at FB moved Hardaker to centre, Burrow to SH, Sinfield to 9, Ward into the pack for Clarkson and Mags to 6. Ok I know this is a lot of changes but firstly these changes would have players either in their favoured positions or where they have experience so all would have been comfortable. '"


Why doesn't the coach select players in their favoured positions to begin with? And why doesn't he use his full compliment of replacements?

Don't worry about avoiding temptation. As you grow older, it will avoid you! - Winston Churchill:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_40515.jpg

Because he is the coach in the full knowlege of the game plan, the weeks practice, the state of each player, the state of the game and his judgement should have worked had the players not let him down. While we are just spectators who can only make guesses

[quote:1pqtnbtj]Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories.

How do you know he doesn't?

I don't but the post that I was responding to implied that this is the case and I was interested to hear an explanation as to why a coach would do this if indeed that is what is happening.

But you've previously said in the post I replied to

Wouldn't they only have been comfortable had this mass movements of bodies and roles been a part of that week's preparation? If it was a part of the preparation why didn't the coach follow such a plan?

You mentioned the following:

Jones-Bishop - Full-back
Hardaker - Centre
Burrow - Scrum-Half
Sinfield - Hooker
Ward - Pack
McGuire - Stand-off

which of these players are you saying would be moving into their preferred positions - had your suggested changes been made?

It wasn't a case of Leeds playing poorly tonight, more a case of Warrington playing really well.

Any criticism of Brian tonight is well wide of the mark and very harsh.

He's a quality coach with the sliverware to prove it.

Dodgy dodgy decisions where to blame for tonight's defeat, nothing to do with McDermott who is a top coach.

Maybe one or two 'Whinos' will still be calling for his head.

I wouldn't be too fussed if he went to be honest but I'm by no means "anti-McDermott"

Why is it whenever we lose, some douche bag revives this thread?
