In four seasons (2004, 2005, 2006 & 2007) at Leeds, Tony Smith won:

2 Super League Titles (2004, 2007)
1 League Leaders Shield (2004)
1 World Club Challenge (2005)

He also had one trophyless season (2006)

In three seasons (2008, 2009 & 2010), Brian McClennan won:

2 Super League Titles (2008, 2009)
1 World Club Challenge (200icon_cool.gif
1 League Leaders Shield (2009)

He also had one trophyless season (2010)

In four seasons (2011, 2012, 2013 & 2014), Brian MacDermott has won:

2 Super League Titles (2011, 2012)
1 Challenge Cup (2014)
1 World Club Challenge (2012)

He also had one trophyless season (2013)

Things to be though about when people say 'the team is going down hill' or 'MacDermott is a terrible coach'.

I will look forward to you once again changing you alias for another season, as really bored of this one.

Could you fill us in on our league positions under Tony Smith, Brian McClennan and Brian McDermott.

Also, didn't we effectively sack, sorry, part company with, both Tony Smith and Brian McClennan after one trophy in two years?

Didn't Smith get offered the England gig mid 2007?

Conveniently, yes.

The only criticism I would have with Brian Mac this year is the two crucial games we lost at the back end of the season against lower opposition (Bradford & Broncos) we should have put a few more first teamer in, I believe we would have still won the CC and would have been competing for the dinner plate instead of settling for sixth place

At the end of the Regular Rounds:

Tony Smith - 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 2nd - (Avg 2nd) Leeds winning 76% of comp points available

Brian McClennan - 2nd, 1st, 4th - (Avg 2nd) Leeds winning 73% of comp points available

Brian McDermott - 5th, 5th, 3rd, 6th - (Avg 5th) Leeds winning 61% of comp points available

__________

Next season only the top four will make the Play-Offs - without some investment in the squad from the CEO and an overhaul of the coaching/support staff Leeds are unlikely (IMO) to be one of them - in fact taking the results of the Regular Rounds since the Manchester Magic weekend only London had a poorer second half of the season than Leeds so missing the four may be one of the least of Hetherington's problems.

Talking of season tickets, I'm in two minds if I should bother next year - this year I could have got into about 70% of home games on corporate tickets and with the quality of play that's offered up these days I might just take the "pick & choose" option next year.

No one would blame you.

Not sure Loiner81 and other single cell oragnisms would concur with that statement

The bottom line is that yes McD has won more cups but it was the side that Tony Smith built that Bluey added to, you cannot say the side we have now is a better side than when Brian took over.

Let's not forget the contribution that Powell made to our current success.He left the squad that TS molded into the first championship winning side for 32 years.

It was the side that Powell built, and Smith enhanced.
