If only we could go back to the glory years of the 90's eh. Spend what we want on who we want, near destroy the club & still win nowt. Our club is in good hands, keep the faith brother

Looking at how the Dragons improved under him and how well the Roosters are going I would say Trent Robinson might have been quite a good appointment - one thing is for sure the senior players would have known who was boss and the play would have been significantly more structured than what we have now.

What happened to Tony Smith - player power - off he trotted!!

Perhaps with a little more politeness I must agree.



You only need to look at his consistent bloody hopeless use of his squad - and indeed bench - to see his true abilities.

His relationship with his first choice 'old guard' has paid dividends the last few seasons (that cannot be denied), but now is the time to bring in an outsider with no previous sentimentality to impair judgement moving forward

Player recruitment and retention decisions at Leeds are not the sole preserve of the coach. Would have thought that would have been obvious by now.

In fact I believe the coach only has minimal input, as is the case in most teams.

GH wanted webb to stay but BMD wanted shut. he went.



the coach does have input although its fair to say GH has the final word

And yet it's the coach who cops the flak when something doesn't work out.



GH is bulletproof in the eyes of most Leeds fans.

Not mine. His eye has been off the ball since 2009.



But recruitment might be done by GH, but I don't believe for one minute he told McDermott he couldn't have an hooker and use Burrow there. Nor do I believe that he told McDermott which players to keep selecting in the first team.

GH is not bulletproof and carries some accountability, however..



You think GH doesn't talk to his Coach about player contracts in the first instance and what the squad needs to look like?



GH does the negotiation of Contracts foe new and existing and balances the books, FFS you'll be telling us that GH picks the team, runs the training, and works on the game plan next!!

That would be as ludicrous as suggesting that McDermott is primarily responsible for recruitment and retention decisions. Thank goodness nobody is doing that, eh?

Don't be daft that's subfields job
