So for the second successive season Brian McDermott masterminds a grand Final triumph of the Leeds Rhinos.

Well done and well deserved.


I'm sure tonight Brian will be sat somwhere with the SL trophy in one hand a cold beverage in the other and with a huge smug grin on his face directed at the 'know all' critics who wanted him out.

He's proved them all wrong....Again.

Think any fans from other teams would love to paper over cracks with a superleague title. Whoever started this thread is a numpty and anyone agreeing with it also is one too. Super league is getting harder as some teams outside top 4 are getting better and will continue to improve. There is no god given right to win every game and think Brian knows which games to to win when it matters.

I'll not gloat....oh go on then, ive backed BM as a quality coach all the way. People who say he's 'lacking', have you spoken to him? Watched him coach? Know what to look for?!

This thread is hilarious, you lot should try supporting a real losing team for a bit and then tell us how bad BM & JL are.

Leeds were awesome this past few weeks and very worthy champions (again), so to all the people who were moaning about how bad your coaching staff were and how old and tired your players are... GET A GRIP.

Now go and celebrate!

The format for achieving success has changed , you no longer need to be the best consistently over the whole season, it's like a long distance race, as long as your in touch with the leader towards the end of the race , you stand every chance of winning, no one remembers the 10,000 metre runner who led the race up until the final lap and then finished 3rd/4th they only remember the winner ..Your coach and his staff/players have learned what it takes to be champions.Brian Mc is doing a great job.

It's is a thread from 2011 though!
Wasn't too impressed last year through out the year but after the GF last year have been more supportive of mac this year. At first his interviews used to anoy me, but he has actually grown on me this last year. And to get into all 4 of the major finals in the last 2yrs. Winning 2 cannot argue with that

I think this group of players have a connection with Bri McD that past coaches have not, yes Tony Smith is a class act and I still believe he is the best we've had in SL due to quality and consistency throughout regular season and play-offs.

Bri McClennan did the business but I believe on the back of Smiths ground work, was never fully convinced!

McD has never had it easy from Leeds fans or media come to think of it, but watching him after final whistle today just showed how much he loves the game, club, team and most of all players, being emotional on the point of tears says alot more than throwing fists in the air in my opinion.

He stood back and looked thoroughly proud and so he should be.

Well done Brian enjoy it!!!!

4 finals and only 2 wins in 2 years...simply not good enough for an ambitious club
