I'm not much of one for stats...I assume in terms of finals and trophies etc there's now a huge gap between BMcD and anyone else at Leeds...?

Also how does he compare as all time SL most successful coaches?

Oh also for all the he was lucky with JP, Sinny etc...has any one ever heard owt but praise for BMcD from the golden generation (even retired players who are now free to say what they like?). In some ways managing a team of legends is harder (player power n all that) and yet BMcD has now reached GFs both twith both that and building a fresh side, no mean feat.

yeah he probably will.

Still think its time for change win or lose next week.

we could do the treble every year and it would still be Muzza (r.i.p) for me.

Attackwise Smiths 2004 & early 2005 side blessed with bai, ali, senior , danny best to watch

I'm an outsider but B M always seem honest and passionate. What you have achieved in the 2017 season after the 2016 season I find remarkable .
I doubt very much that Warrington will bounce back like Leeds have. Your clubs reached another final in my view against the odds and all the best for the final game of the season. Just as a matter of interest how do you think you will frame next season because I see that as another massive test .

Cas fan in piece. I felt a little emotional after watching his after match interview. He needs so much credit for how he has turned you around. He still recieves crap from many though.

Seriously ? Just out of interest any reason in particular ?

His Trophy record is 2nd to none & he absolutely deserves plenty of plaudits just as he ,the Team & GH should be questioned/criticised when it goes wrong.

Even I wouldn't say he's the best coach ever, my thing is his deserves way more respect and credit than he does get.

The above post, yes he should get questioned and criticised when things go wrong but we all know really that it goes far far beyond well reasoned questioning and critique.

That's a fair point.

Big Mac has also taken flack off myself but that sky interview WOW! How passionate is the guy in Leeds rhinos. Onto next week I don't see how we can over turn the recent Cas results and win but the man deserves plaudits for the way people have questioned him whenever we don't like a certain result. FWIW whatever next week brings it should bring down the curtain for his rhinos tenure as i feel it needs freshening up. If it does a BIG thank you Brian.

Just seen the trailer for the "As good as it gets" documentary film (actually first I'd heard about it). Wonder if that might finally convert a few BMac haters... www.thecitytalking.com/as-good-as-it-gets/

Ditto !

< edit > actually i've been called most of those, and more, for years. Sucks to be a Leeds fan on Southstander.

Glad to see a thread like this. I've always been in the Mac camp. Still am.
