| Quote infamous grouse="infamous grouse"It will be interesting to see where he goes.
He's been a successful coach but quite often that's a case of the right place and the right time.
Millardat Saints and Noble at Bradford both won lots of trophies but couldn't repeat it elsewhere.
I can think of only Tony Smith and John Near who have managed to win trophies with different clubs.
McGuire won GF with Wigan and then in Australia with Rabittoas. But it doesn't happen very often.
Whoever comes in at Leeds is going to face the same problems that McDermott, perhaps they just need someone younger who is hungry for success'"
Your last comment is quite bizarre "someone younger who is hungry for success" ??
He's not exactly old and nobody could doubt his hunger for success.
Have Leeds ever won more trophies in the same time frame as they have under McDermott ?? |

Leeds are very much in a transition phase and I don’t think McDermott is the best for developing the next set of players to replace Sinfield, McQuire, Peacock etc.
He,s also had a rough time with injuries, Parcell has done a good job to give momentum but its really the lack of creativity. They are pretty good at offloading but they don’t get anywhere with it.
Lean times ahead in the short term, Hethrington might have to put his hand in his pocket grudgingly.

It's amazing how many people don't understand that GH doesn't own Leeds. |

Does this sacking mean Steve McNamara is now hot property?

| Quote AS108="AS108"He had to go, it’s all gone very stale at Leeds over the past few seasons and the rugby is awful to watch. Now he’s not got Sinfield, McGuire, Peacock and Burrow he’s come to the end. His record of trophies will make him look a better coach than what he really is. The way that Leeds played on Friday combined with the fairly swift nature of the sacking tells me he’s lost the dressing room as well.
Having watched the As Good As It Gets film it was clear that McDermott and a lot of senior players didn’t agree on a number of things. Now that he’s no longer got a great team he’s been found out. It’ll be interesting to see who they appoint, the ideal candidate should be Powell but I imagine he’d cost too much.'" Am i right in thinking that Powell used to coach at Leeds?...And would he be prepared to go back there?Somehow i doubt it... |

Whilst he doesn't own Leeds, he is very much the man holding the purse strings...very tightly too! |

Darryl Powell spotted in Trinity LEEDS this morning, coincidence? I'm led to believe that Powell has been interviewed for the role already.

I think you use of the word Bizarre is bizarre 
It is quite common for a coach or player who has been succesdful to become jaded and lose their edge.
He has been very successful in the past only time will tell if he has still got the drive to go on and be successful elsewhere.
I wouldn't be surprised to see him as the next England coach, it will be interesting to see how that works out |

Almost didn't understand the last part of your sentence due to the misspelling of "if"...
I wouldn't know if she's been interviewed or not, I'm just passing on the information that I've been told by Pete. |

Do you think that he has lost his "edge" or maybe, suffered a crazy amount of injuries and not managed to replace "Sir Kev"
I mean this in a complimentary way but, McDermott will never lose his edge. |
