Wire are bigger than St Helens and at least as big as Leeds.

The only club in the country I will accept are bigger than us is Wigan. (through gritted teeth)

I am in no mood to be having this conversation tonight,well played Wigan by the way,but Wire have been very good for the last 3 years ,but I would put Hullfc bigger than you ,and on recent history Bradford Bulls.At present you are just bigger than Huddersfield.Thats all I am saying on this subject.If we are going by trophies won I bet Huddersfield have won more than you.What is your criteria for saying you are at least as big as Leeds and bigger than saints and these other clubs?if its not trophies won throughout history,then what is it?

Rugby began in 2009 when Wire had an influx of fans...

Please show me where I have said anything like that?I have just joined in a conversation where I agreed with a saints fan and a wigan fan.I have not once tonight said anything about that game.You see if you see my sig my location meanswhat it says.I wasn't at the game,so I was merely reading through the reactions to the game,but I happen to think Warrington are not as big as Saints.

I defended your Grand Final winning coach on this board after your thumping by the Pies last week when he got a load of stick and calls for his head.

However....

Having seen you at first hand tonight I can see why you want him gone. That must be the worst Leeds team in a decade, they were simply canon fodder for a top side like Wire.

Anyway, the mighty Wire march on.

That's because you have a coach and we don't!

After todays humiliation, I wouldn't be suprised to see the anti-McDermott brigade come out the woodwork again.

Remember he was getting slaughtered this time last year...and look what happened, he proved you all wrong.

Brian is a top class coach. Have faith.

In the SL Regular Rounds Leeds under McDermott:

Played 54, Won 31, Drawn 1, Lost 22, Pts For 1580, Pts Agst 1265 (Avg Scr 29-23) 58%

In percentage terms that places him somewhere between Dean Bell (44%) who inherited an impossible task and Dean Lance (59%) who had a hard act to follow in Murray and ultimately lost the dressing room and had to be replaced.

(I've used the regular rounds as an indicative measure as it eliminates favourable and/or unfavourable cup draws but others may wish to include them for the overall picture.)
