Same as the Bradford game, what motivation he must have been to London and Bradford when the team sheets are shown. We could have won the League Leaders Shield

Frankly, no one who matters gives 2 sh*ts about the LLS. But what does matter, is a decent position to get to the grand final. Leeds are blowing a place in the top 2. All these fanboys who perpetuate this myth that we can finish anywhere and win it are deluded. Last season showed that. Right now, leeds could beat saints and hull after the CC final and still not make the top 2.

Leeds season hinges on next week. If they lose next week they've thrown this season away.

we have the quality to do the double this year, but when we do this we dont give ourselves much chance of that, i can understand cas doing it cos warrington would have roughed them up, but we could beat london at a canter shame on u brian mc

Could and should have used it as a training session for his Wembley 17.
The man has shown his lack of management skills big time.

Totally agree mate

The problem with all you critics is ....where you advocating the same not resting key players prior to the game?

I agree it is a real faux pas to end up losing to BOTH the bottom 2 so close to the end of the season thus tragically jeopardising the chance of finishing in the top 2....BUT I think most do not appreciate how much winning the CC must mean to these players and the club. No excuse I know but understandable if not something to be condoned. Having the CC run in coincide so much with the end of season championship run in is a stupid fault of the RL which again does the game's crediblity no good at all.

LEEDS simply MUST win the CC....and I believe they will. All then again will be forgiven and the coach again rewarded with another season in charge, but again I also pity anybody paying to watch these poor regular league games.

But if we don't win next week, these silly loses will look even worse and we will probably end up finishing fifth and winning nothing

The guy got constantly bagged for trying to play his strongest 17 the previous years? Which do people want?

Had Sinfield or Burrow or Ablett got injured today they'd have been people burning effigies of McDermott in the street this next week.

What was most disappointing today was the fact we got into the big lead. I thought that if we did slip up today it would be from a slow start and constantly trying to fight our way back into.

Perhaps the cliche some like to trot out on here of "if you're good enough you're old enough" has taken a hit today.......good is one thing, experience you can't buy.

Today means jack all in terms of what happens on Saturday vs Cas even if some what to say it "adds pressure." What it does mean is going full strength against Saints and Wigan the following weeks even though it sounds like some are struggling.

You took a team lightly and got what you deserve? HA
