Perhaps the clearout of backroom staff should continue!

Coach McClennan - SL Era - All Comps

2nd most Leeds games coached (1st - Smith)
3rd best points won % (1st - Murray, 2nd - Smith)
3rd best points scored average (1st - Smith, 2nd - Powell)
3rd best points conceded average (1st - Murray, 2nd - Smith)

As I suspected. Some distance behind the best ever Leeds coach, Tony smith.

Of course that depends how you want to compare.
E.G Bluey Won back to back GF's Smith didn't.
Bluey was here 3 seasons Smith was here 4.
Bluey got us to the CC final same as Smith did.
I rate them both highly and both should be in our hall of fame but there are +'s and -'s for both and we have been lucky enough imo to have both lead us to great success.

2005 when Hull beat us at Cardiff!

Understandable mistake. We've all tried to forget that one.

I'm sorry but it appears Damo has just handed someone his a[irs[/ie on a platter.

Someone is never going to live this down.

as i stated on another thread talked to sinnys grandad this morning and he reckons barrie mac is after the assistants job make of it what you will

Aye i walked into that one you're just miffed because he beat you to it!

I'm amused but unsuprised at the salivating of opposition fans and their hope for our doom! no surprise the pies and the dulls board showing the most activity.

The truly sad thing about this and other recent events is that the fans & supporters have been denied the opportunity to say goodbye properly to Bluey, Disco & Donald.
That is a shame I think.

We got to say goodbye to Scotty at the last game at Headingley mate but i agree re the other 2.

Surely you've got enough to keep you amused with yer "Typhoon" and "Political" dual with juan cornetto!

I think anyone who knows or has worked with Brian McDermott, and this includes the players will know he is a strict disciplinarian and he won't accept any prima donnas thats a fact. Neither will he shirk in decisions in dropping people either no matter who they are. he will command and expect full respect from the players and i can tell you the players will know from the start who the boss is irrespective of who they are. Anyone not towing the line will be gone. If burrow is as inaffective as he was last season he will be dropped no if's no buts ! That side of it is what Brian Mac will bring to the table for certain.
Now as to whether he has the technical or tactical ability to get the best out of a quality side is still unproven and that remains to be seen. I think the whole coaching shake up ala Poching, Cummins etc is McDermotts doing and he wants his own team in there which is a big call from him as it would have probably been easier for him to keep the likes of Cummins for a start.
Other posts on here suggesting Barrie Mcdermott are so wide of the mark they are untrue. Im sure Barrie Mc would throw his hat in but I am equally sure BRian Mcdermott wont even consider it.
Lets wait and see.
