What Leeds are currently doing in 2016 is unprecedented for the SL Era of this sport. No reigning SL Champions have finished the following season lower than 5th (Bradford Champions 1997, RR 5th 1998 - Leeds Champions 2011, RR 5th 2012 (but retained title))
In terms of defending the LLS only Bradford in 1998 have regressed 4 places in the instance given above. Leeds look set fair to beat that in 2016 - well done to all involved.
In terms of the biggest fall in finishing League position from one season to the next that currently rests with Hull -7 (2007 to 2008) and Salford -7 (2006 to 2007)
Of the SL ever-presents: Leeds -3, St Helens -3, Wigan -3, Warrington -4 represents their worst efforts so far.
McDermott's legacy to the Leeds club is to set the course to totally eclipse all previous falls from grace of the SL Era.
