Rubbish

So it’s Lenagans fault we scored the least amount of points per game across the whole league and Leeds won all their titles under McDermott due to the players coaching themselves.

In these hard Covid times every penny counts, so if I were Lenagan I wouldn’t bother with a new coach as clearly they’re pointless.

Good lord.

Leeds won the title from 5th in 2011 when we had one of our strongest side in years arguably better than the 2010 side. They repeated that feat in 2012. St Helens and Warrington also had very strong sides. To say they didn’t need coaching is beyond comprehension.

Delusional beyond belief.

Still not been approached by any Super League club to be their Coach, not even Wakefield and hopefully never Wigan!

Remember, the other Yorkshiremen with reputations to coach Wigan, Maurice Bamford and Brian Noble.

Hardly outstanding, were they!

Can not understand why Wigan is always the last club to inform what is going on even Leigh gets more info than us Chester director of Rugby.

Maybe it's not been decided?

I do think they should at least said who's leaving and officially announce Thornley though.

What I will say is that after reading Too Many Reasons to Live, Rob Burrows' autobiography I wouldn't want Brian McDermott coaching Wigan.

I've always felt he'd end up being another Millward. Great taking over a team that can coach itself, but ineffective when a team is a mess.

Plus, people forget that he's worked for IL in the past. Can't quite remember how that worked out, but if nothing else, IL should know his strengths and weaknesses.

Haven’t read it yet but due to shortly. Perhaps I’ll think differently after that.

And I was called rotten by the usual suspects when I dared to suggest that McDermott was not the success as some seemed to think he was during his time at Leeds.

Evidently, some players and clubs have as well!

Like many of your financial figures and adulation of all things IL!

Except you wasn’t called rotten. You were offered facts against your argument and decided to double down claiming it was the players who didn’t need coaching.

I’m happy to debate away with you Ruddy but you don’t back any of your points up at all, make outlandish statements and get all offended when someone offers an opposing view which is backed up. The funny thing is you post some good posts from time to time which I get on board with and I make an active effort to say so when you do. Primarily though my impression of you is you post outlandish statements to garner a reaction so you can play the victim “everyone’s piling on me” role. It doesn’t wash.
