So was Steve Mac.

I don't think any coach would have done better at Quins; the whole clubs seems to be run on a shoestring and it was a hiding to nothing in many ways. They seemed competitive early in the season but when the injuries bit it was just too much for a thin squad to overcome. Strangely, I can see comparisons with another club, a bit further north, which had a similarly thin squad, where the coach left early and which had a similar season.

I think Leeds' fans will be upset that their 'cycle lasted only about four years whilst ours went on for ten or more. I'll be sad for them too......when I stop laughing!

And he proved that he isn't a coach

I don't think Brian Mc can be judged on his spell in London though to be fair he hasn't had any funds and no real chance of attracting decent players. Hope the guy does well for himself and good luck to him!

But he is you know - a proven coach, apparently....erm....wakey lad.....er......used to be a royal marine.......erm......

I don't buy this 'no coach could have done better' shtick that QRL believists and Leeds fans have been peddling today. I'm pretty sure Noble, Kear and Potter would all have eclipsed the brilliant Brian's achievements for us.

Karl Pryce on Twitter:

"Not surprised with the Leeds story. Thought he would walk but not till mid season."

Which 10 years or more were these exactly ?

'93 ish to '06 ish.

HTH.

I don't remember 10 + years of Bulls success??????

Don't really know how well Mcdermott will do, not worried though..... Yet. All teams go through this period, I just hope the transition is more smooth than that the bulls went through. None of the players we have lost thus far are great losses other than Eastwood but time will tell.

I wouldn't be too smug yet though, you have a coach who wanted a job back home but wasn't good enough, and lots of mediocre players, not particulary impressed with any of them, but again time will tell. But Sibitt, raynor, Walker do not shout to me world beaters

think that is streaching it a bit

I'm not sure about McDermott. I would have preferred an Aussie in the Nathan Brown / Michael Maguire mould. Time will tell I guess. Certainly makes for interesting times at HQ. Makes you wonder how much this is a response to the performance of the team last season.

I had heard earlier in the season from other Leeds fans that McClennan has to spend a lot of time looking after a sick wife, maybe this is part of the equation, although nothing has been mentioned officially as far as I know.

Warren Jowett to be named as Mcdermotts no. 2 (a Batley based rumour.)

Hell, there's gonna be some serious ass whooping at Headingley if it's those two in charge. Prima donnas watch out!

Jimmy Lowes to be Mcdermott's No 2.
Its a combination the Bulls looked at before Potter came on the market.

so you keep saying
it's a sad shame when you have to resort to posting to yourself,or in fact by repeating yourself in groundhog day fashion

and before you beat me to it
in true groundhog day fashion i have replied to you on both forums
are you losing it?
