I know what real talent is, I'm not sure you do, which is why I asked.

I like the sarcastic evasion of the questions though. Well done.

Given your "form", evidently not.



My pleasure. Works in tandem with your irony and similar inability to address a previous point and respond with a mind-blowing "Wow".

But then you will know more than GH obviously, who made the appointment to very clearly place his club in eternal decline. Because he does things like that ya see. Nor will he have consulted the likes of Peacock, Sinfield or Senior regarding Maccas coaching. No, he just wouldn't do that. He should have listened to an internet forum moderator. Because that's where it's really at.

Nice snide comment at the end there. Good stuff.

Still evading the questions I see.

Isn't this thread getting just like another one recently where we were told unequivocally to avoid the personal digs and keep on topic?

Yep I do.

Halley and Crossley are also mediocre. Weve still got a fair few Bradford produced internationals in in all grades though. Which isn't bad to say our local amatuer game isnt that good. But if Londons is so soooooper dupppper, where is the talent? Hit me with them?

nice selective picking of our youth, notice you overlooked whitehead,donaldon,addy,southernwood,obrien etc

Apologies to everyone concerned!

As I stated earlier, it's going to be an interesting season.

Despite arguments to the contrary I think Leeds are going to struggle a bit as they go through the next few years. Their golden generation is getting older and will take some replacing. They also have a coach who hasn't really proven himself (IMHO of course). The kids coming through may come good but don't look as good as the likes of McGuire, Burrow, Sinfield, Bailey, Diskin etc at the same age.

Of course I could be wrong, but I would be surprised to see Leeds finish higher than 4th next year.

Ah right, good job we had some players in the 4 nations then isn't it and Quins didn't.

Oh bollox, I've done it again. Must be that time of the month.

We had Bradford developed players there.

Hit me with all this London talent?

Please do, im waiting.x

Answer the question.

Will you throw your mouse mat at me if I don't?

Jog on Mavis.

We'll just take it that you dont have the answers.

Don't feed the troll. I did and it got me nowhere!

GH obviously wouldn't make a decision to deliberately derail his own club but everyone makes mistakes at some stage. Similarly, Peacock, Sinfield and Senior may speak highly of Brian McDermott's coaching ability but, as an example, Steve McNamara received similar plaudits when he took over from Brian Noble. In fact, some senior players still stand right behind McNamara as a coach despite his record at Bradford. It's good to listen to your players but sometimes their views can be clouded by other factors (maybe the player feeling they 'owe' the coach something for a specific role in their development) and somethimes they can just be wrong.

Personally I feel Brian Mac will do alright at Leeds but it's never a simple case of fact and fiction. A number of factors will arise to determine his relative success or failure. But cherry-picking facts to suit your argument for McDermott while ignoring the undeniable positive abilities possessed by Mick Potter is a little disingenuous. Both have pros and cons as coaches and both should go fine with their respective clubs this season.

You've got no answers.
