I don't believe that.

He doesn't look like he's ever had a good wash.

If true then it would be no shock. I do have some sympathy with the lad (negotiates a 4 year contract, secures the no.9 shirt then is pushed out of the pecking order by Burrow ...and now justifiably by the much superior Lunt too. Becoming 4th choice behind Hood is then hardly going to inspire much faith in him having a future with the club).

Let him go I say: be fair to the lad.

Agreed, if he's not prepared to put the work in that is required to make himself a better player than those currently ahead of him, he should find a home more suited to the acceptance of mediocrity.

I cannot believe what i am reading (needs a good wash) i find it amazing how quick our own fans turn on our young players. I cannot remember diskin rob or kev being world beaters at the start of their careers but all were given time to develop. I do remember jimmy lowes being in a similar position and look where he ended up.I personally don't think we need him as we have got lunt and rob plus hood will be ready in a season or two but i would rather see the lad given a chance elsewhere than treat him this way or slag him off on here.

Just hope he can pronounce his 'r's

If true, I can't see McDermott tolerating that, nor would I want him to. A shame, because he could be a decent player if he puts the effort in and gets the right attitude.

Hi Paul

Did Matt Diskin, Rob Burrow or Kevin Sinfield show such disrespect to the club, coaching staff and other players? Not to mention rumours about McShane's attitude in games & at training.

Re: Will McShane ask for a transfer ? : Thu May 03, 2012 10:44 pm  

Did this actually happen or is it somebody's overactive imagination? McShane's been named in the 19 for tomorrow, so I'd suggest the latter.

Pass. I'm just glad Brent Webb is still alive and kicking.

Sorry Brian ha ha whatever next, soon we will have our loose forward refusing to play at 13 and players refusing to come off the bench and be used as impact players.

Re: Will McShane ask for a transfer ? : Fri May 04, 2012 3:37 pm  

I see a lot of speculation is often made on these boards about the attitude of McShane but it's strange how nothing has ever been mentioned from anybody at Leeds Rhinos, I suggest you ask people who attend training day in day out and you'll find a different answer to what is often posted on here, I think his selection in the 19 man squad puts to bed what was written re u20's.

Re: Will McShane ask for a transfer ? : Fri May 04, 2012 11:16 pm  

There were glimpses of a player better than Dean Lawford (the player I believe McShane is most 'like' IMHO) in the WCC, so I personally haven't given up on him just yet (and neither have the Leeds coaching staff it would appear)...still think he's got some way to go and I hope he makes it but it's by no means a certainty. Will he leave? Doubt it there's lots he can build on and develop with us.

As for Lunt he's had a couple of pretty good games for sure, but I would have a hissy fit if we didn't sign him!
