We sat in last place in the league with only 3 wins from 17



15 months on we're heading back to Old Trafford.



Regardless of the result next week, regardless of what you think about performances, excitement value, squad, coach, CEO, recruitment, quality of opposition......it's a bloody good comeback and show of character, character which was questioned extremely heavily last year and often this year too.

Yep it is / fair play/kudos to all involved plus throw in the CC semi rout it magnifies that character even more.

Couldn't agree more. Hats off to the whole staff. Superb stuff.

Throw in the hammering at Cas at the start of the year. They still believed they could reach the GF afterwards and McDermott even came out and said so and got monumentally ridiculed.

Yep he did & i was one of them questioning him lets hope we at the very least give them a game next week.

None of this is down to McDermott , it's only is fault when we get beat dont you know .



Yet another grand final will not silence the know nowt Mac hating gimps on here .

Grand Final his year and a place in the World Club Series next season. Not bad going.

I'm awaiting the inevitable rumour that Sinfield and Peacock came in and took training this week.

You only really find the true measure of people in adversity, and McDermott and his players have shown true character to get here. I'm pleased for McDermott especially, as he'll never win over a section of the fans, and he deserves this.

Champions to qualifiers to grand finalists is some rollercoaster ride.



McDermott has been at the helm for some unique Leeds club milestone moments - good and bad. I don't care for him but what I think doesn't matter one jot.

Isn*t that been already decided?Thought Hull FC and Wigan are playing down under next year.

that's a league game. madness. glad it's not us. stupid idea
