i hear a lot of the senior players have turned on him so his time must be limited

Like him as a man but he never should have been given the job.

I think they should sack him and hire another proven coach in either Rob Powell or Richard Agar.

Contrast the reaction of McDermott and Robinson to this week's defeats!!

What Robinson had to say "Disgusting, embarrassing, unacceptable" etc is what you want from a coach I bet the Catalans players will running up some hills this week. I bet the Leeds players will be going through the motions just like they did when they wanted rid of McClennan.

Perhaps its the players that need a shake up and showing the exit?

For me McNamara is the obvious choice

it needs a top class coach and a shake up of the squad. anyone who has watched them week in week out will tell you that

That's the coaches job. If he doesn't shake things up, he'll need showing the exit.

Obvious to everyone except the G-man

That's is OK provided the bosses are prepared to back the coach - Hetherington has let the players dispose of Powell, Smith and McClennan - McDermott will be next

Didn't smith leave as he wanted to take the role of coaching the national side? And mclennan left a year early of his own choice.

The pickle Leeds are in reminds me a little of the situation Chelsea were in in the last wendyball season. Too many ego's in the dressing room that think they know better than the coach and will point at their winners medal collection when the coach tries to take them to task. The term "nest of vipers" sums it up I think. It tends to happens whenever the same group of players remain successful through several coaches. The sooner McDermott goes the sooner things will turn around there I'll bet, although whether the senior players at Leeds are still capable of producing at the required level remains to be seen

Is there any evidence that this is actually the situation?
