Leigh to win challenge cup before 2020 Leigh to reach Grand Final by 2022 Derek to get a queens honour (mbe) by 2025 Oh Leigh oh Leigh oh Leigh //www.tipsterste.fabpage.com/ [quote="Michael_Ward"]Ricky Bibey = cack. He's no good - the lad is huge but couldn't bust through a wet paper bag. He was crap at Wigan, he was crap here, and christ knows why Saints then signed him. Predictably, he was crap there as well. He's now where he belongs, in NL1.[/quote]:White Backgrounds/Gonzo the Great.gif

Tough call as I don't think either of them has a clue tbh. The only plus for Cunningham is that he has a first choice half to come back. Leeds recruitment has been dire to say the least!

Leeds basically haven't bothered with recruitment in the close season.
They are severely lacking decent leadership and having Maguire calling the shots is a mistake.
At his best, he was a great support player and having lose a yard of pace, he isn't as effective in that role.
To see Hardaker waltzing past them at will says everything you need to know.
One of the best players on their books is ripping it up for one of their local rivals d040.gif

The saving grace for McDermott is the treble, only 2 seasons ago, which is hard to believe now.

If you mean Zak - he is not on Leeds Rhino's books.

[quote="FlexWheeler":8f22o6ue]The extent of his coaching is ''BASH EM, JUST F*CKING BASH EM. HE'S LOW ON CONFIDENCE, BASH HIM'' He's a limited coach that won't last long term.[/quote:8f22o6ue] .... [quote="rubber duckie":8f22o6ue]That would make Wigan strong favourites then. With Ratchford at FB and Patton with Cronk in the halves, I think we'll do very well without Sam.[/quote:8f22o6ue]:



Quote: Tigerade "If you mean Zak - he is not on Leeds Rhino's books.'"


He is currently on loan from Leeds'. If an agreement to make the transfer permanent if the future exists it still wouldn't alter the fact that he is on Leeds' books.

Quote: Saddened! "Tony Smith?'"

Agreed! Unless they $hit a miracle in the next month their season could be over by Easter. They probably need to win 3 of the next 4 for it not to be a total write off. Wigan h, Leigh a, Saints a, FC h. But then again I'm watching my own mob through my fingers.

He could be gone if they lose at home to Wigan on Thursday evening, but i can't believe a coach like Tony Smith with the squad he has at the Wolves will lose 4 on the trot.

Good question this one with the inclusion of Smith and Betts. Are there any obvious replacements who could do a better job?

Nobody obvious i can think of, but possibly some out of work NRL coaches my money would be on.

Laurent Fraysinnous desrves to be fired because he has a squad equal to the best, but they have under-performed under his management.

Dennis Betts deserves to be fired for not retaining Kevin Brown regardless of the cost, and for not buying any decent players.

Ian Watson deserves to be fired for not speaking up against Marwan Koukash's decision to buy the alcoholic trouble maker Todd Carney, when Michael Dobson and Robert Lui are doing a good job.

Keiron Cunningham deserves to be fired because of his unsightly anxious [ivisage[/i, which suggests that he has a serious bout of constipation.

Brian McDermott deserves to be fired for letting the homophobic tattooed man Zachary Hardaker go to Castleford.

hardaker got up to so much trouble, lots not reported they had to get rid.
he even said himself he only had himself to blame.
cracking player I hope he regains his form, and its looking like he has.

as for McDermott, the signings have been,frankly, mediocre. mullally, ormandroyd etc. lots of the players such as walters are championship level.
others are over the hill. mcguires been a better player than most think, much more than a support player. sadly those days are long gone.

recruitment needs to be a million times better quality wise and we need a coach who can improve players and actually coach a structure and shape.

Yes - I'll give you that one.
Quote: "Dennis Betts deserves to be fired for not retaining Kevin Brown regardless of the cost, and for not buying any decent players.
'"

No - Not Betts decision to let Brownie go. Board decision.
Quote: "Ian Watson deserves to be fired for not speaking up against Marwan Koukash's decision to buy the alcoholic trouble maker Todd Carney, when Michael Dobson and Robert Lui are doing a good job.'"

Maybe - Has anyone spoke out against Marwan and kept their job ?
