I do find it incredible the powers that be have allowed the rot to sink so deep without apparently thinking anything needed to change. By all means move McDermott into some other role but FFS it was obvious a long time ago his coaching/influence on the playing staff was simply not working.

If the club couldn't give a flying fuk why the hell should the supporters care?

If were speculating, I'd say Watkins is involved somehow, serial tweeter Hardaker hasn't tweeted his best mate in a looong time.

That’s the spirit.

Sack it all off, after all, it’s not like you’ve seen some epic years recently .

The end of the world is exactly what this season is shaping up to be. Hall and Watkins leaving would be the finishing touch to BMD's legacy which is looking more and more like the sporting equivalent of the book of Revelations.

I am stunned at the level of animosity towards BMD from a rival spectator's point of view. Ok you are having a bad season, you have lost some big players and things need to be shook up but Jesus H Christ can't some of you show some dignity to the man. He has brought you nothing but success and you chastise him like he is the devil. I don't like Wane very much but he has given us many finals to look forward to and on course for another and i will always be grateful for it. Some of you have very short memories and should be ashamed.

Read what I said again and have a little think about it. Didnt say id given up. Merely given up worrying about what happens. Ive been to every home game this season, ive been to wigan, warrington, salford and hudds away. I went to Newcastle. I was there on Friday night, i clapped the team throughout, i clapped them off the field. I was gutted at the end, same as i have been most of this season. I remember what the 90's were like and this feels worse. Will i stop going? No. Will i stop supporting the team thats given me so much joy since 1999? No. Am i going to let todays events and the rest of this season worry me knowing the joy its probably bringing to countless RL fans across the country? No. Please dont assume you know what a persons thinking from a few lines of text. I hope the above gives you a clearer understanding of where im at. Remember, "once a Rhino, always a Rhino"

Absolutely nailed it.

Often accused of being a "McDermott supporter" I just have a bit more respect for someone who has helped us achieve success.....apparently a crime on this board.

Has he reached his "shelf life" and is it time for him to go now...possibly. But the way so many still bitter, agenda driven, still butt-hurt because he proved them wrong fans are trying to rip what he did achieve to pieces and place all the credit solely onto two players is absolutely pathetic and I feel embarrassed for those posters who have felt the need to do so.

If Wigan had had the success that Leeds had and then found themselves at the bottom of the table - Wane would be getting some serious stick. McDermott's personality doesn't help his cause either, perhaps if he were more 'user friendly' then some fans would be more sympathetic.

Anyone who has ever been to the Gold Coast itself (and I'm not talking about the club) will know what I'm on about.

The area is chocka full of delinquents, transients and boofheads of the Ocker variety.

Perhaps because he has to spend so much time managing players' egos McDermott doesn't spend too much time doing the same for the press and fans. He isn't afraid to show when he thinks the questions asked at press conferences are idiotic and the people asking them are morons. He certainly will have the same view of fans who think they know everything although it's probably better hidden.

It's one of the most appealing things about him as a person in my view.

There's no chance you'll go down. There'll be no change again this year.
