Every team at some point in a season will hit a mini crisis.



It seems to me that Leeds have taken a bit of a gamble, had a look at the fixture list and thought they could squeeze through a few SL rounds and a CC fixture. Worst case? Your out of the cup (and of course no one would've predicted getting Saints so early on) and you've lost a couple of SL rounds. No big deal when all you need to do is make the play offs to be in with a shout come Sept/Oct.



Had this been pre-playoffs the it's pretty disastrous but now? Not so.



The gamble may not pay off but we'll not know until later this year.

Again, your logic is truly awful. Firstly, you don't actually know if there is anything wrong with the job our assistants are doing. Then you don't know who the next Craig Bellamy is anyway, and then you start banging on about how Smith wasn't a first grade coach in the NRL.

What on earth are you talking about?

Blah, blah, blah, blah... it's just noise - no sense at all.

We were actually originally talkiing about conditioning, soemthing our assistants have managed admirably for the last two seasons as can be seen by actual results at the business end of the season. So lets hire an Australian - you don't know who - but somebody ought to be good soemwhere. Rediculous.

Is that clear enough for you?

You obviously struggle with reading - I suggest you got back and read through the thread - my comments were about physicality and technique - the coach isn't going to sort the physicality but he might sort the technique just maybe we might not miss as many tackles and give away so many penalties which is killing the team.



You don't know whether the current assistant coaches are doing a good job either you just assume because we have won two big games at the end of the season that they are - when was the last time we finished top of the table - 2004!!!



Somebody said on this thread who would you have as the next assistant coach and I said a good assistant currently working in the NRL - you may believe that Cummins/Poching would not have a problem getting an assistants job in the NRL you are entitled to that opinion. A year ago Steven Kearney applied for the job that McClennan got - he is still an assistant at Melbourne and a WC winner that is the calibre of assistant we should be looking for not employing guys because they have played for Leeds and their career options are limited elsewhere. For me your coaching team need a breadth of experience away from the club our assistants simply do not have that - I trust this is simple enough for you to comprehend for the 4th/5th time.

It goes the other way though - If the team on Monday had won then that would have given them the confidence to kick on. Being dropped and watch the academy team win (all if's I know) wouldn't do them much good I would have thought.

I don't agree with you, your arguments are rambling and incoherrant, lack structure and constantly contradict themselves . They have little or no actual evidence to back them up and are riddled with weak logic which I have pointed out a number of times.

There is nothing even remotely difficult to understand in what you write, I can understand nonsense as easily as a well structured argument.

Simply typing more badly put together, evidence free conjecture as a way of badgering people into agreeing with you won't work I'm afraid.

I'd just like to say well done to Brian McClennan for proving how good he is.



Made good reading this thread

You are bang on mate! I remember at the time thinking! some of these numpties need to have some faith! good times!!

Seems like they got it right.

How out of condition did the boys look last night?...

Enough egg on some faces this morning to make a sizeable breakfast omelette methinks.
