That the coach of the champions for the last 2 years failed miserably at London and as such, have you considered that it may not all be down to the coach and that it could be the culture of the club or possibly something else.

Thats my point-is it clear enough

Look I wouldn't have picked him as coach, I'm indifferent on Mcdermott. At the same time look what Leeds have in terms of playing talent. Still don't see what point your trying to make, at the end of the day Tony Rea shouldn't have been rehired. We needed to tear the script up and bring in someone with new ideas and continually evolve the club.

On the pitch yes, but for our youth set up he didn't fail. You take the good and the bad. McDermott was better than Rea anyway.

What are you talking about? As I said Leeds have some of the best players in the world in their team. Brian Mcclennan won trophies with them and was sacked by NZ Warriors. So what? Still don't understand your point.

Tony Rea has to be sacked without delay! even ask Jamie Soward to cover for last few matches. McDermott failed here! at Leeds he had the top players! there,when he joined them, remember they called for his head at one stage. Leeds,

If Rea was a man, he would have resigned yesterday, he is on one long holiday!

Im confused is it the coach or the players- you seem to be like sinking sand. Keep moving its the best way not to get shot!

Don't drink!

What am I missing, ask Jamie Soward to cover as coach and take training sessions for the last few games we have.

Your obsession with Soward is a tad worrying.

Because Rea fell out with our best player and captain at the time?

I apologise for not spelling it out for you

Soward is a St George player. They have released him to London before he goes to Penrith on a 4 year contract. (you work out why)

Sorry.

Sorry to butt in on a private argument, but it's not the coach. London's problems didn't start with McDermott, and neither Powell nor Rea are to blame for the current situation. The buck here stops at the top. If you drew a graph of London's prospects, the line would turn downwards as soon as Lenagan left the club. In the ensuing years, too many decisions have been messed up, too many opportunities not taken, and an almost total absence of leadership giving the club direction and purpose.

Fans tend to overstate the importance of coaches. Wayne Bennett would have a similar win record to McDermott/Powell/Rea at London in the last five years. So fans calling for Rea's head are missing the point, in my view. The players are reacting to an off-field lack of direction and purpose. It's not the coach who can't secure a ground or a sponsor. It's not the coach who's responsible for the full squad believing their careers are under threat due to financial problems. It's not the coach who's responsible for the failure to retain or attract fans.

Hughes has plugged a lot of cash in, but he is ultimately responsible for the Broncos' failure off the field, and it's the failure off the field which has informed the failure on it, rather than the other way around, in my opinion.
