If he's lost the dressing room (which I think he has) then OUT. Otherwise IN for another year. Hughes' call, he's got the inside knowledge and im sure chats with Purdo.

Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently.

| Quote: wire-quin "What a load of Boll*x. There are RL league coaches all over the place. McDermott came to us from a No2 position. I can think of 13 other No2's in SL for starters. They say fatty Anderson at Hudds is very good.
Then there are coaches in Australia.
If Quins RL put a worldwide advert out for a First team RL coach I suspect there would be 40 plus applicants and within that probably 10 real quality coaches.'" I'm sure Rooster Booster could name No.2s in Oz who'd like the chance to make a name for themselves by taking a head coach job over here - plus the added attraction of being in London. Have to admit that after reading about yesterday I'm moving into the 'out' camp, and I'm not a great believer in geting rid of coaches. |

And what if what has happened at Catalans happens to us?
Its a big risk. |

But we're nowhere near where they were when they brought Walters in. Much less of a gamble. |

Depends on how you look at it.
It could be a much bigger gamble as Catalans are more likely to get a franchise next time round then we are.
So we need a coach that will guarentee us our average in the top 8. |

There's no such thing, not with our squad and financial situation. Id like to see a serious, experienced, professional coach in charge. Rea and McD were'nt/aren't that, although Rea was more so than McD is. They might be expensive but that's what we need as much as better players. |

With tony rea we got play-off rugby and we are not getting that with McDermott, and Im not sure we can afford to sack him he's got 2 years on his contract.
Although I would like to see McDermott stay and Hughes bring in Brian Noble to a similar role that Tony Smith and Jimmy Lowes are.

Yep. No problem admitting that if we had made the play-offs I would have remained in the "in" camp, but yesterday was it for me.....he should go.
I was all for continuity and letting him do the job, but there was something very wrong yesterday and I believe the buck stops with him.
21 points in '06, 23 points in '07, 22 points in '08 and now 22 points over 27 games is just not good enough. We had 20 points on June 12th FFS.........something has gone very wrong.
Catleford, Wakey, Wigan, Bradford, Catalans and Huddersfield have all overtaken us since June 12th......that's unacceptable!

Well, somebody has to take responsibility for the way things have gone over the past 3 months and he's the man in charge, so my marginal "in" now becomes an "out".
There's no doubt that he was achieving things until mid season, but whatever's happened since then, he's lost it.
I don't suppose we have the money to bring in an upper layer as Wire did with very positive results, but that'd be good.
