Mac is "London through and through" as somebody told me, except if Macnamara continues to perform poorly, or McLennan returns to the NRL. IMHO replacing Ian Lenagan is the biggest and most relevant challenge facing the club.

Isn't that statement rather contradictory?

If McLennan were to leave Leeds they'd go for a bigger name, with the greatest respect to McDermott.

I really think that we will be knocking on the door of a home play-off game over the next 2 to 3 years and on the pitch, all is well. I have my concerns ( no 5h1t sherlock ) regarding the back office/management infastructure, but if we can get some measure of success on the pitch, all the better.
Like the new strip, think we will compete this season and as long as we can improve on last year, I for one will be happy.

Played 27, Won 11, Drew 0, Lost 16, For 569, Against 763 PD-194, Points 22
Placed 9th.
As for Brian......if he does have an ambition to manage a "bigger" club, then what better way than sticking to the job in London and getting a result down here first.

I agree the Lenagan quote, will we see out the season?

I think BM will go if the Bradford job comes up. The type of player and style of play at Bradford is something he understands very well and his emphasis on defense will be more appreciated there.His chance of success are more assured in the short term there whereas for us we are more restricted financially and are also waiting for young players to develop to really challenge which is more long term.
I'm trying to stay positive about the current team but a lot depends on how Luke Gale performs (if picked) and whether the injuries hit us badly again. As they say in cricket "im a bit worried about the tail enders"

By the way has anyone looked at the QRL companies house returns for the past few years i.e. since we went bust. Also might be interesting to check the QRL credit rating.

Hope the QRL 'bean counter' does not take the 'offer' by the Brown/Darling shower of delaying NI and VAT payments........

As for Mac's chances of being sacked, doubt this will ever come to pass unless we go winless thru a season, though if we do well in the next two/three seasons expect that a stronger outfit might come up with 'an offer he could not refuse'........

That's bothering me a bit as, if I remember correctly, IL took over Wigan during the season which will be when the two year rule will come into effect and there's no apparent sign of anyone being prepared to take over his shareholding.

It will only cost you a couple of quid to get copies of the return and accounts.

I will tell any Quins supporter or Anti Quin we have the best coach in super league. Let your mind forward to 3 years from now Big Mac has seen the supply coming through and the north will be shell shocked at the Athletes that are going to come through, LMS Clubb et al are just the begining, or the club needs now is a passionate man at the helm with lots of dosh.

"The best caach in Super Leaguer", Brian McDermott? Are you being serious?

If you really believe this to be true, hopefully lots of other teams will now be seeking to snap him up for next season, and Quins RL can move forward.
