| Leeds fan at work who claims to have lots of sources amongst the playing group tells me player power did for McDermott as he’d lost most of the dressing room. Also some injured players aren’t necessarily as injured as has been made out and may now return quick than envisaged. Certain players that have been seemingly out of favour may now also get more of a run.
Tony Smith to consider coming back for 2019 and 2020 before handing onto Burrow. Nothing set in stone yet.

I quite like the sound of that

Watkins would be massive. But I think you are being harsh on Ward as well.

| Would like Powell but no chance imo.
Don't know who is available in Australia but would be fairly happy if Tony Smith returned.

| Tony Smith? Are you all having a laugh.
Why should we settle for mediocrity. We're a big club.

Sounds like your "work colleague" and I had lunch together today...

| Quite happy to see TS return. It is interesting how much praise he gets at the start of the 'As Good As It Gets' film from the likes of Sinfield and JJB. With so many younger players coming through, IMO the current crop need a technical coach more than they do a McClennan/McDermott style man-manager.

Ward would make a difference, but I think he's got to get more time on the field to be seen as a really big loss for us right now. The kid has boat loads of talent, I just hope he can shake off the injuries and become the player he should be. Difference for me is Watkins already is that player.

We are a big club in large part due to Tony Smith. Perhaps that was before your time?

He's very happy at Cas Academy.

Tony Smith probably remembers the Leeds fans who hurled abuse at him through 2006 and all but the last couple of games of 2007 so maybe he'll just pass on the opportunity to turn things round now.
I'm sure a lot of them are the same people who have said McDermott's achievements are all down to Smith.

| Smith was very vocal on the current state of the game prior to leaving Warrington. Given Hetherington's stance on that issue recently, it would certainly be interesting to see those two working together
