As someone who has great respect for Mr McDermott I am as perplexed by his words as I am by events at Salford.
The timing of it particularly strange given that prior to last night SRD had won 2 games on the bounce prior to their visit to the Headingley hex.
As someone pointed out elsewhere Hull KR let 80 past them at Wigan before defeating the same opposition in the Ladbrokes Challenge Cup a short time later.
If the prop forwards union are following the example of the fearsome foursome in the comments directed at Salford by Messrs Anderson and McDermott why hasn't Garreth Carvell,welfare officer at SRD while on a playing and coaching contract at Featherstone passed comment? Hardly a shrinking violet or wary of confrontation,is he? He does have a job elsewhere.
If Harris is really unwell why haven't the players dedicated a win from the 2 consecutive victories to him or anyone at the club sent him good wishes?
As it was the Chief Exec of the RFL who invited Dr K to take over SRD,why hasn't he or Brian Barwick passed comment?
After Harris worked under Moss and Roberts at Crusaders - owners who were possibly found by the task force headed by Steve Ferres - why did he allow himself to take a job under Dr K if he is as bad as some would have us believe?
I hope the situation resolves itself for the decent people involved with the Salford club but if there is a crisis of confidence can it please be on show when you meet Sheffield Eagles?
I was under the impression that professional sports people are professional enough to ignore off-field situations.
I have read elsewhere that Dr K was not in attendance last night.
