Because he is paid to be the head coach of leeds, not arbiter of the quality of ownership for super league clubs.

The leeds club, don't need a view of Salford, whether it comes from GH or McDermott or anyone else. They are charged with running Leeds Rhinos and doing what is best for Leeds Rhinos, neither are they in a position to, nor is it their place to publicly denigrate another clubs ownership.

If McDermott wants to take responsibility for Salfords players and position he can hand his resignation to GH and his CV to Dr Koukash, sniping from the sidelines is not his job.

And Regardless of his true thoughts and feelings for Dr Koukash, the right thing to do is to show him professional courtesy in public, even if you express your views strongly in private.

We aren't exactly known for throwing transfer fees at players still under contract. If a player is OOC at the end of the season and wants to join Leeds then what can the Doctor do?

I was merely giving you a potential scenario of a negative outcome. I'm not going to debate the minutia of a theory with you.

I can't put it any better than Somkey has just so I'll simply quote and leave it at that.....

I'd have no problem with McDermott airing honest opinions about all and sundry if he did the same about those from his own club. But unless he is going to go down that route - and I'm not saying he should - then probably best if he kept it bland.

BMD certainly threw the kitchen sink at Dr K. Agree or not, it was an interesting press conference.

So who in the Leeds set-up has carried on in the same way as Dr Koukash?

In the eyes of some supporters from other clubs, GH virtually runs the RFL

No-one, as far as I know. Must admit I'm struggling to see the relevance of the question.

I personally don't think he should have talked about the owner. Fine to talk about Salford seeming to have off-field issues but I really don't think its his place to talk about Koukash in that way at all.

I don't see an issue in it at all. He gave an opinion on why Salford failed to perform. What the issue actually is is irrelevant. It could be small playing squad/financial situation/administration etc in this case it's leadership of the club. Either you can comment on the other team or you can't.

I think, because he apparently said this in a couple of different interviews, that this was deliberate by McDermott ie he didn't just get carried away.

Whatever people might think about McDermott he thinks and cares about the game as a whole. He puts significant time and effort into the amateur game and is a prime mover behind the Rhinos Coach Education scheme. Hetherington is also keen for Leeds to help the game as a whole improve. Partly, at least, because a better game overall is better for Leeds.

I think those things are worth bearing in mind when evaluating McDermott's comments.

His comments were part of his opinion as to why Salford had played the way they did it wasn't a thoughtless irrelevant outburst G so i say good on him.
It also has no reflection on Leeds at all imo as for "facts" the situation he covered was/is clearly in the public domain i.e Squad unrest ,winding up orders, Dr Gobsh##e constant outbursts ,etc etc it all equates to the off field circus MK has created.

I fully concur.

Exactly right.

And, not unlike this message board, the unseemly tit for tat continues .....

I'm starting to think that Marwan Koukash is actually AP in disguise, because if that isn't a trolling effort I don't know what is.
