Oh, I don't know ...
Putting Hardaker at centre
Putting BJB at full back
Putting Kirke on the pitch
Putting Burrow at DH

... and that's just for starters.

Quite. At one point Sinfield was at hooker, who passed it to Hall at 1st receiver who passed it to McShane at 2nd receiver who passed it to someone else filling in at a position that wasn't their natural position.

At what point does his "innovation" just become madness? It's odd, I know, but even of we win 3 in a row with this coach I doubt anyone on here could convince me it wasn't in spite of and not because of his attempts to re-invent the wheel.

On this forum a few months back, there was a mini-discussion about whether or not McD should be watching videos of the opposition team.
I'm beginning to wonder if he should start by actually watching Leeds games.

He said on Friday that there was nothing wrong with our performance, and that there were a lot of positives.

That would suggest, your last point should be seen as urgent.

McDermott said: “Credit to Hull KR, they didn’t let us play.

“I didn’t think we played all night. I didn’t think we looked in the game for the majority of it, it was only the final stages when we decided to be a bit more attacking and wake up.

“I’d give Hull KR a lot of credit, right from the off they had some intent defensively and shut down pretty much everything we tried.”

McDermott refused to blame Rhinos’ lengthy injury list or any controversial decisions for Rhinos’ defeat.

“There was enough good people on the field to be able to win that game,” he stressed.

“I don’t think we had enough intent or energy for the first 65 minutes, which is what we will look at.

“There were some positives, it’s not the poorest performance I’ve seen, but it just lacked energy."

Yes. Massively so.

Yes Brian ... but you had them in the wrong positions.
Again.

56 pages, 2 years and I never noticed.

Now, every time I look, it irritates me.

Thanks Wheels.

Thanks.

Two options:

1. Just live and let love

2. Delete the motherf...er
