Quote: TimmySmith "I seem to recall him coaching two seasons without the golden generation, one where they finished in the bottom four with us and topped the relegation group and the other where they won the grand final. I’m sorry sir but Brian McDermott has never been, will never be nor is Chris Chester.'"
You mean the season when Maguire and Burrow retired? The season they got walloped 66 something against Cas. Credit to them they won SL with a late push but for much of the season yhe Leeds fans were pretty much saying the same thins as Trinity fans are about Chester. No game plan, no structure, relying on older players. Leeds had better players, bigger resource yet they are still recovering from his tenure. The players he had well and truly covered up his averageness.
I think after that GF win (with the huge sentimental drive they had that year) they were back down fighting in the middle 8's again.
