Me too. He seemed to be trying so hard to convince people that he was enjoying it but it didnt wash with me. He sounded more desperate than confident that things would get better imo

Leeds should get Brian Noble in. He'd make them competative and take them to the business end of the cup and the play offs which i'm not sure McDermott will be able to.

No No No.. Noble is known for his late surges into plays off and Grand Finals Would be our luck that he come in to Leeds and did a miracle and then we'll have 'why have you sacked him?'

But then again, in reality - Bring on Friday and the Whinos.

There's no way Kevin Sinfield is going to let that happen.

Not friends?

I know who i'd rather have in Leeds situation.

How is McDermott still at leeds? he has done an awful job.

"I want to be able to come away from Wigan and say we had a real good crack there" - seems like he's resigned himself to losing.

Not that I can blame the guy, like. We are WIGAN.

I always liked McDermott. He was one British coach who never sought to blame others for his team's failings, and never came over as churlish or resentful. I'm not enjoying watching his troubles at Leeds, though I couldn't give two hoots about Leeds themselves.

For me he's got the hardest job in SL.

He's got a team of ageing former champs. 3 years ago you couldn't touch guys like Peacock, Senior or Webb and now simply age had caught up with them. Also key guys like Burrow and Maguire have had some serious injury problems which doesn't help.

You start to look at quality players like Maguire, Burrow, Webb, Senior, Peacock and others comming into the side then getting injured and then comming back and you realise how difficult it is.

He's in a no win situation. If he does well with the squat he's got and get says 4th place then he's still gonna get shot down as the fans expect them to be champs.

I disagree to some extent because i think that Leeds have had enough quality in the side this season to be in a much better position than they are and tactically they have got things wrong.

I remember watching Leeds in the earlier rounds and watching in amazement as players were off-loading and forcing the pass in ridiculous situations - they have been throwing games away and have continued down this path to the point when i have been certain that BM would go - yet still he remains in the job.

Didnt BM state that Leeds would play a more exciting style of rugby this season under his guidance? im not quite sure that this is what he had in mind.

Leeds have been very poor this season.

It can't help that his assistant is jimmy lowes. Two bitter yorkshire gits. The fact he claimed he jumped up and down after getting the job proves how shocked he was. What a goon. English coaches are shocking, its so bad you could argue Nobby is the best around, and i wouldn't have him back at Wigan in a million years. Agar, Steve Mac, Lowes, Harrison, Kear are so far behind the aussie coaches its unreal. Lets hope we are not adding Wane to the list next season

He looks like someone pretending to handle the pressure well. I don't think he can.

Leeds are finally getting what they deserve
