Not sure what Bruce_Forsyth is thinking but I've never said Cas are crap.

Sorry got mixed up with "who said what"! I'm just wondering on what basis he thinks Cas are crap. Even worse if he is a Hull KR fan!

Quite a habit full stop. Leeds coaches who have lost at Cas away:
Brian McDermott
Brian McClennan
Tony Smith
Daryl Powell
Dean Lance
Graham Murray (never won at Wheldon Road as Leeds coach)
Dean Bell (never won at Wheldon Road as Leeds coach)
Doug Laughton
David Ward
(beyond that I can't recall)

Anyone know of the last coach to finish a stint at Leeds who didn't lose there?

I'd have offered Doug Laughton but you have him on the list of losing coaches so I'm unsure.

If not Laughton, Malcolm Clift never lost there, nor did Maurice Bamford during his first stint in charge.

Ha you have the advantage of facts to hand whereas all I can rely is misty reminiscences and as we get to two decades distant my memory goes hazy

Having double checked it seems almost inconceivable but somehow Laughton managed to go four victorious seasons down t'lane. Further proof that Douglas is the finest Leeds coach of the past 25 years.

An half-arsed attitude towards the regular season guarantees 5th place, the gift of a comfortable ride in the play-offs and another SL title.

Your club ought to try it some time.

You just have this on your desktop ready to copy and paste now don't you?

Actually, I'm a bit disappointed by the lack of "McDermott Out" "Team past it" "Hethrington out" "season in ruins" threads on here this morning. Surely people aren't starting to learn lessons?

EVERYONE INVOLVED WITH THE CLUB FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS OUT!!!

I was similarly dissapointed with the lack of a "can we go the whole season unbeaten" thread after last week's win.

Standards are slipping on substandard.

Perhaps it's the realisation (finally!) that the regular season games are meaningless, therefore why would anyone care or even bother to generate a thread about going the whole season unbeaten? Does anyone really give a toss about losing to Cas?

Finishing 5th two seasons running and still winning the SL title is going to have consequences which aren't just restricted to the slipping standards of the team itself during the regular season.

They are not meaningless if you don`t end up in the 8.

If that was the case I'd assume they were more meaningless. Just ask Bradford the last few years

I wonder if we now have 'Rhinos' fans now questioning Mr McDermott again after four defeats on the bounce?

Nah, par for the course this.
