Great season but without cuthbo (creativity) and garbutt (extra muscle) we would have struggled and cannot say there's any attacking structure , moves as a result of coaching.

What is this? What happened?

A tad bitter aren't you? Did McDermott knob your missus or something?

You think coaching at the top level is about "moves"? He's not coaching Stanningley u14's.

Given Leeds' record in the CC before last year I'd say losing to relegated sides was well worth a drunken laugh. The players are pros but it was such a massive thing for them to have finally won it after so many failures I think the only surprise is that people were surprised at how much it affected them. Even this year it clearly took a couple of weeks to wear off.
