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

you don't say adey


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?

Perhaps Bluey does want a change according to this www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/sp ... hot-at-NRL

Jonesy: not at all.

You seem to be though - your touch, that is. If you need to resort to selective quotes without showing what I was commenting on. Poor show - you can do much better than that, and you know it too.

Frankly, I'm worried about you. I think you have been forced to share a paddock with so many fekkwits on Substandard for too long, and their deficiencies in basic trolling skills are rubbing off on you. Its not too late to lift yourself above their level though, but I'd not leave it too long. We'd hate to see you spiral down into the mire of mediocrity that seems to claim so many promising young journeymen trolls on Substandard. So think on!

There is some odd misplaced smugness on here today, Leeds' coach resigning is no cause for us to celebrate and, if our cycle of success lasted ten years plus and Leeds' only lasted 4, I'm a bit miffed that we only won the same number of championships as they did.

McDermott is a gamble and I'm not sure if I were in Leeds' position that he would be the man I went for however if it doesn't work out I doubt Hetherington will hesitate to make the necessary change.

You need to retune your receivers mate, there isn't any smugness, just some reasonable winding up of our touchy-touchy whino brothers

Do you not see Scott Donald as a great loss? I remember watching Leeds a couple of times when he was injured and thinking.....if that was donald it would have been a 4 pointer! Just my thoughts mind you I could be talking utter Sh!te....

And whilst Sibitt, raynor, Walker are not seen as world beaters, Sibitt is a back up (which we had none of last year) Raynor is a world ahead of Reardon on the wing and Walker is an improvement on Nero IMO.

Believe me if you would of had to watch Bradford for the past 2/3 years you would be over the moon with these signings

Interesting times coming up at Carnegie I feel...

In the bigger scheme of things he's no loss. However, as the team gets older we are beginning to have a worrying lack of pace in the side.

As I posted on the previous page.

However, don't get too carried away. When Bradford's decline under McNamara set in the Bulls were losing big name players like Peacock, Pryce and Fielden in quick succession, a certain player was taking up too much of your salary cap, and the ability to pay a full cap had diminished (at least for a season or two). As none of this has happened at Leeds (yet - although losing Eastwood was a big loss to the side), I don't see us plumbing the depths of SL any time soon.

That said, I have no expectations that Leeds will be winning any silverware next season either. It will be interesting to see how McDermott goes as coach. It certainly has many of the hallmarks of the McNamara appointment at Bradford, and I wouldn't be surprised if things don't improve, or get worse. Then again, there's also a slim chance that McDermott will develop into a more Brian Noble-esque coach (i.e. British and successful). Who knows - I suppose that's the great thing about the unpredictability of sport. It would be foolish of anyone to utterly reject him now or pronounce him as a definite future success.
