Never a try from Woods, awful decision.

Whenever it cuts to McDermott's face, stick on Tom Petty's Free Fallin'.

Leeds are "not in a slump" eh Brian, you miserable sod !

If Leeds don’t finish in - at least - the top two of the middle eights the rfl are planning to change the structure.

They were ready to hang trin out to dry with the million pound game but can’t live with Leeds being relegated.

One rule for one and another rule for others

Must you keep posting such bunkham?

leeds are an absolute shambles. No organisation whatsoever

I’ve heard this I’m not making it up.

Everyone was talking about it at the Widnes match.

Whilst I doubt that this is anything other than gossip the loss of Leeds would have a materially negative effect on the value of future TV rights so there would probably have to be some sort of convenient restructure to get them back in.

Got to say even as one of his biggest supporters over the years on the Leeds board after a lot of ridiculous abuse and ungratefulness I think it’s now time for McDermott to move on.

Unlike many I will forever be grateful and recognise his contributions (whereas some do their best to take credit away from him) but every coach has a shelf life and he was the right man for the Golden Generations final years and got that elusive CC and a treble (most on the Leeds board wanted McGuire and Peacock pensioned off or released back in 2011/12) and I think FINALLY he’s reached his at Headingley.

Funny thing is if he stayed I wouldn’t back against him bouncing back in 2019 like he did in 2017 but I think the club/fans need a fresh look. Even though it’d be unlikely, if we won the CC this year it’d probably be met with dismay amongst supporters because it’d save his job which they don’t want which shouldn’t be the response to any potential trophy win (again I admit it’s unlikely before any Saints or Wire fans start)

Like I said I’ve been one of his biggest backers on the Leeds board, it’s a shame too many who wrote him off midway through 2011 (hell even I called for his head around June/July 2011) refused to be mature enough to admit they were wrong over the years to give him credit and tried to downplay his contribution just because they couldn’t admit they were wrong.

10k attendance for one of the big games of the year.

Distinct lack of leadership now taking its toll now, Barry McD always gives applause for effort but at the end of the day whether you lose by 40 or 1 point it’s zero match winning points.
Twice in 3 seasons they look a club in decline and can’t see anything on the horizon to improve a struggling end of an era team.

I agree wholeheartedly that McDermott has never received the credit he's due from some fans for the success under his tenure. 2017 proved he could win the comp without Sinfield and Peacock, who according to some were the ones actually coaching the side. Hopefully he'll be remembered more positively with the benefit of a few years distance from the club.

Where I differ from other fans is that I don't think you can have it both ways - if McDermott deserves credit for all the wins, he is equally responsible for the bad stuff as well. Whilst injuries have caused us problems this year and 2016, they and the other excuses trotted out can't explain week after week of awful performances.

Regardless, I agree McDermott needs to move on before Leeds slide ever more towards mediocrity.

Here we go, let me get this right. Unless Leeds are winning grand finals, lls, and cc finals every year, your calling for his head. [size=150PATHETIC!![/size Get a grip, get a grip I say.

I wonder if Hetherington will suddenly realise the m8s is a bad idea if Leeds end up in them again.

hull kr will beat hudds and cas have been winning for weeks with a depleted squad so wouldn't rule out them taking the 2 points

Everyone at the Catalans game was talking about how Cas deliberately threw the GF so Leeds would keep BM for another season at least.

Yeah, course they were

No they wont, Hudds will beat Hull KR.

Catalan on home soil have a good chance of winning.

Damn, you've found me out. You're too sharp for me.

Could you imagine if two or three more go down with injury during the middle 8s and they have a poor start then have to face some of the tougher fixtures low on confidence? They could go down

Leeds would walk the 8's as they did in 2016.
I do wonder however that if involved & they lost their opening 2 games if there would be a sudden announcement about restructure ?

I think if Leigh had not gone down to 12 men early in their CC clash then it would have been a very closely fought battle & it seems that Leeds just do not hold the fear card they once had.

We were undefeated in the first ever m8s. A year later, with a better team (on paper) but a bad run of injuries, we were relegated. ANYTHING is possible.

Maybe. We have named the stongest 19 we've seen in 2 or 3 months with a lot of our key injured players returning. Hudds still have talisman-penalty-machine-diva Brough still suspended. I'm not stating we will win, only that we are heading back to full strength for the first time in months.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy coming over for this important game for both clubs with Hudds apparently nailed on to win it. Oh hang on, Hudds supporters don't do away games do they?

Well i`m not a Huddersfield fan so no I wont be coming lol and yes there away support is poor. I think even with your strongest squad Hudds will be too strong for you tonight.

You certainly know your stuff
