I hope he's right, but I get the feeling he's paid out a little too much rope for himself there.

Confidence is going to be key, a run of good results and we'll be in good nick.

A run of bad defeats and we could be revisiting the excuse's handbook.

IMO I think we'll be ok.

If you actually watch his press conference he said the seasons goal is to win A trophy, which should be the minimum goal of any Leeds coach tbh

Of course he wants to win everything, so do Wigan Saints Hull Wire etc.

Im no fan of Mac but it is a lot better to hear these sorts of statements from inside the camp than the excuses we heard last year, which is something I thought he would do given we already have a few injuries and with the whole Segeyaro thing

He's completely Barmy , Leigh are taking all the lot this year , the Leicester factor

Non issue. As with most things most coaches say publicly.

What we need to see if we get into some sort of slump is evidence of a willingness to change things up. A Plan B. Last year the coach and players all said the right things - working hard etc etc - but nothing changed until Segeyaro arrived. Whilst he was very important, the players we had were capable of much better.

last year Brisbane there was no plan A, let alone a B.
