Does it again. Yet another final for McDermott. But hey, delighted he vacated his post for Towel to step in.

T'was hoping to see pie-eaters in the final given that I have tickets. I'll just have to watch them next Saturday instead. Ablett/Hall what a combo.

Anyone else getting a serious sense of deja vu?

More McDermott success? Yes, me.

Maybe we should go back a year or two and look at all the threads on here saying what a garbage coach he is, and he was the cause of all our woes
Maybe when powell moves on and takes over at lets see, yeah send him to warrington or saints and see him win silver with players than can be bothered at a club that want to be bothered!
Possibly not just the coach? maybe its summat deeper

That is not a bad call MB. Watched Mac a few times and the players were not up to the basic tasks in training and he was going nuts.

WIth you once again DL.




A lot of it is about our artillery, yet we still don't have it.

Leeds stars! rose to the occasion, a scrum half playing at hooker and Sinfield who so many love to know, though they always did that to Andy Farrell?

Yes the Rhino's in the final again, but much thanks to Refree Ben Thaler however bad Wigan were on the day, two gifted tries such a clear knock on and Thaler was stood at the side of it and a penalty which lead to an instant try that was not a penalty, at times our game gets more like wrestling was playing to a script? Also what has happened to defences in rugby league it can look like tick rugby sometimes.

Glad we got rid of Mac he was not right at the time for us, but even Powell is worse!

In a way I'm glad we are rid of him too, there is no way our club deserves a coach of his calibre, and I am delighted to see him enjoying the success that he enjoying

Credit where credit is due. Leeds played very well.

Always pleasing to see Wigan get beat!!

It will be interesting to see how Wane will respond to this defeat.

Unfortunately we'll be first to find out.

Clearly Brian McDermott is a better coach than Rob Powell. He got us to 9th place twice.
