What a pathetic lot some of you are! Currently top of the league, two Grand Final wins since this thread was started and you still keep it going... What the hell do you want?

Face it, you have probably been the best side bar none under Brian Mac and you still want more. Give the bloke a break. Yes, your squad are getting older (sadly that comes to us all) but the likes of Peacock, Burrow, even Sinfield are still top drawer (imo). Your kids are coming through really good and the future probably looks better for Leeds than any other SL team due to the excellent management of Hetherington and Caddick.

Oh my God, I'm doing your job - supporting Leeds - AND I'M A CAS FAN! Get a grip and enjoy the rugby instead of bitching for the sake of it.

We know how to defend, close games out and let individuals (Hardaker, Burrow, Watkins) do some individual brilliance (Not team coached) to win the games.

Simple questions for you:

You watch Leeds' displays and think that is the best rugby those names can come up with?
Along the line following the ball stuff. ZERO dummy runners. Joel Moon receiving the ball and either getting bundled into touch or drop Hall off on the inside time and time again, that is really the best we can do?

I was in Ronnies bar yesterday and two Cas fans behind me in the queue were saying " Leeds are nowt special at all". 100% correct and thats embarrassing. And lets face it with the backs we have got we should be blitzing teams off the park, not be hearing that.

We're bloody $hite. Shaun Wane must laugh his socks off at McDermott.

90% of Leeds fans must agree that McDermott doesn't get any where near the best out of the squad.

Just pretty much stated the same things in a new thread......before reading this.

I still optimistically believe Leeds will win silverware this season purely on the basis of the riches of individual talent the fully fit squad has......and the paucity of good competition ensuring the team only has to raise its intensity levels on very few occasions. Enough so to have the team still heading the table despite being nowhere near reaching its full potential.

I don't anymore.
Teams are learning to stick with Leeds. Stick with them, don't get fatigued, keep following the basics and you wont be far off. Teams can spread the 13 out in defence knowing zero threat is coming from the middle. Its sad but its true. If McDermott can coach any sort of attack going down the middle the defence will get sucked then Watkins & Moon might stand a chance.

Just pray that an assistant is employed that has a say in attack.

Yes...Leeds havn't got an assistant coach. How ridiculous does that sound. We have Barry Eaton from the Worldly Hunslet helping us out on match days.... Woopie F'in do.

Yes I'm fed up today...

The problem with Mcdermott is that everyone looks at his GF wins and says 'whats your problem?' While thats understandable its not really want I think a lot of fans are getting at that want him gone, me included.

With the team and squad we have at our disposal we should be at least 50% better than we are if not more. Last night was a prime example. How often did we use the 'slide to the left' move and see Moon and Hall get crushed on the touchline. How did Peacock end up taking a last gasp drop goal to win the game?

Just two examples of the sort of poor coaching and poor planning that are becoming our hallmark.

Dont even get me started on replacing players that are clearly past their prime.

The way we play and the way we have won GF's in the past is being replaced by the type of fast energy, attack in bunches play Cas showed last night.

Evolve or die, and we look like a sickly dog at the moment.

Well I understand some of your comments / concerns and think the pack could do with beefing up a bit BUT you've still got a darn good team, and I can think of 90% of other non-Leeds fans who would love to be in your position.

As a Wire fan i wouldn't swap him for TS and I can imagine Wigan and maybe Hudds wouldn't swap their coaches either but most of the rest.....

You so-called fans should be ashamed.

I wonder after stating that McDermott should hand in his resignation after a narrow 2 point lost at a resurgent Wakefield whilst missing several key men.....if tvoc wants Tony Smith to quit after losing by 14 to an extremely out of form Widnes.

Considering one view was based on a string of poor performances, and the other was after a string of excellent ones, I can say I have seen enough years of tvocs posts to know he has far more about him, and not dumb enough to think that.

lets see how the season ends. if no finals are reached i think questions would rightly be asked if mcdermotts time was up
