He's Leeds Rhinos through and through. Everytime we used to play Leeds he'd try and injure Stuart Fielden. Potter's coached at the highest level I don't remember McDermott working as a Supre League head coach.

I also find his comedy sketches with Terry O'Connor on Sky pretty childish. I don't mind his Championship commentary though.

Because he isn't. Far from it.

OOh exciting have you just blown your cover now Stuart?

I'm not sure anyone would bite at that. Unless Mystic Eddie or Mick G are really that bored.

Brian, Barrie, it's all the same.

If I was called Stuart or anything close to, that might apply.

D minus.

You've been offline for nearly an hour and that's the best reply anyone in the office can think of?

What's happening in Wagga's words this week?

It will be a horrible apointment imo he as done nothing at Harlequins yet again another cheap option by Bradford, Harlequins fans will be a very happy at this.

Horrible appointment if true he's done nothing at Harlequins another cheap option by Bradford once again, Harlequins fans must be delighted.

Define "done nothing"

I'm not sure.

What do you define as being a grafter? I don't think there is any question about the work and effort the current coaching team are putting in but for whatever reason the results don't seem to be coming to us. Will McDermott bring something to the party that we haven't had for the last few seasons or will it be a case of more of the same?

Jimmy Lowes was in charge of what was, on paper, one of the strongest side in SL but struggled. What did Smith bring to Wire that Jimmy didn't?

The difference between a top team and an average team often seems to be down to what a coach can coax out of of the players, whether they're superstars or average joes. A top coach can make a a decent team into winners. An average coach can turn a top team into an indifferent one.

I suppose it depends on what the clubs SL ambition is for the next few years (if it has any) and who it things would do the best job of developing and bringing through the nippers. Perfect package would be someone who can get the first team playing to their ability whilst introducing the young players. But I guess that's what every SL club wants.

I don't work at the Bulls. Apologies for ending your Through the Keyhole moment. Santa Claus is also a work of fiction.



I wouldn't have a clue, nor really care.

Give it up Stuart. You really need to learn how to cover your tracks a bit better.

Although it's frustrating as a fan... how tight is the security within the club about the appointment?! Talk about playing their cards close to their chests! So far there has been discussions about Millward, Potter, Lowes, McDermott... but it all seems to be guesswork and speculation, no matter how educated the guesses are or how much insider knowledge people claim

What are the chances of a complete left field choice?

I have already confirmed you're right . . . see tigertot's sig for proof
