Funny how things change though. Last season didn't really go that well, and this season started worse - that's why a lot of people thought the squad was past it, as well as looking to BM as a reason for poor form. Was there anyone on here predicting we'd win the Championship this year up until the CCC final?
I do find all this gloating over past threads funny though. I for one am absolutely delighted to have been proven wrong. Hope it happens again TBH.
New coaches always need time for their players to adjust to their methods so it was harsh to scream for McDermott's head after one or two dodgy results.
I'm sure Brian is now sat somewhere with a beer in one hand and a cigar in the other with a smug grin directed at his critics like 'Norman Stanley Fletcher' and a few others.
I too am delighted to have been proved wrong. Only recently, however, have we seen a glimpse of the passion that typifies fans, coming from the usually bland face and considered, measured words that gave us so little confidence in the early weeks of the season. I thought, along with many others, that we needed a special spark. Brian Mc D was hiding it under his bushel perhaps? At least it lit up the dressing room, but I couldn't see it in the SS! Thanks Brian - you did a great job!

The Famous Leeds rugby went to Rome to see the Pope, We have changed this song from Wigan as you have now taken the mantle of the Team Living in the past. Your comments about JJB, Peacock , McGuire and certainly Webb are not comments which anyone with any knowledge of rugby would make
Perfect example of what is wrong with your club, can't see past the medals..... Peacock wouldn't get in the Wire 17, his finished.... you keep telling yourself you have great players its just the coaches fault, hope your owner has the same opinion, nice seeing leeds in 8th.
Last season papered over the cracks. To many past her best. BM doesn't help with baffling selections and tactics. Hardaker can't play left side. It's obvious to all except him. The pack is beaten week in week out. Our much heralded second row are great with ball in hand but are much of a muchness. No nasty buggers in there. As for hooker!!! Burrow tried hard but offered no direction whatsoever. BM needs to look at himself, but so foes gawwy who likes things on the cheap to much
