Welcome Quins Kitties born 02.04.09 -
Purdo - Determined, loveable with a "can-do" attitude. A born leader.
Louie - Big, white and fluffy. A very noisy prop forward.
Harley- Cute and gorgeous (just like our no.9) Well, I couldn't call her Chad, could I?
Update on Quins Mogs :-
Purdo - deffo leader amongst Mogs. The Capo.
Louie - turned out to be more like Louie Spence than LMS. Re-named Judas.
Harley - Cute but not as gorgeous as our no.9.
Oh well, at least I haven't got a Willy.

But he is useless. The coaching experts on here told us so.

He looked on the sideline as if he was going to have a nervous breakdown, Leeds can keep him! Sinfield won that match for the Rhinos! why he has got overlooked so much in his career is an injustice!

You can have a good coach but at the end of the day is the quality of players on the park that counts and whether they want to play.

Re: McDermott : Sat Sep 29, 2012 4:19 pm  
Mac has got to four finals.

His two Cup Finals have seen Leeds have easy draws where they have played one top eight team each year on the way to the final.

In 2011 only Hull FC away was a tough match with lovely home ties v the bottom six were the rest of the ties. He was incredibly lucky in 2011 where they beat Castleford by a golden point in extre time after Rangi Chase missed an easy drop goal in the 79th minute and they had been outplayed for the majority of the game.

In 2012 again a lovely draw including Leigh Centurions in the quarter final and the bottom six took him to the semis and a good win v Wigan took him to the final.

Leeds have been well beaten in both Cup Finals but fair play he has got them there with nice draws and plenty of luck.

In the Grand Final semis he has won one by two points and one by one point but Leeds have looked pretty good in the majority of their games. Certainly had some good calls you'd suggest.

It could be argued that Leeds had been in the Grand Final year after year before Mac's arrival but he deserves some credit.

He can get decent performances out of older players but what he can't do is build a good squad because he is a poor judge of players and bad at enticing them in. There isn't a single player in the Leeds team as a permanent signing who Mac has found himself and pretty much none in our squad either.

He is a lucky son of a bitch that is for sure, I wish he'd coach the national team.

Well done Mac, however re-building this ageing Leeds side will be the real measure of him.

Yes, Leeds fans must be gutted that McDermott is having the nerve to blood young players and promoting players from their youth setup, to great success so far, rather than making rafts of signings. :CRAZY:

I suppose he is lucky that the likes of Hardaker and Watkins have come on leaps and bounds under his coaching, and that Stevie Ward is just a natural wonderkid who requires no coaching. Lunt was a signing that was questioned by Leeds fans and he has got better and better as the season has gone on.

McDermott is doing a fantastic job and I guess the majority of our fans are too bitter/jealous to acknowledge it. 4 finals in a row and still he is lucky :lol: :lol: :lol:
