The more hysterical Leeds fans are calling for McDermott's head; but they were doing the same in 2011 and 2014 so I think we can safely ignore them.

Whilst I accept most of the arguments as to mitigating circumstances, the biggest concern is the lack of form of several the few remaining established first teamers. McDermott paints it as overcompensating for the loss of their teammates but I'm not convinced (and the downward trajectories of Watkins and Hall were well established through the back end of last season).

Meh! Get some bodies back and we'll have a crack at the Top 8. If we don't make it there's some tasty West Yorkshire derbies to look forward to.

As a KR supporter I had hoped Peacock joining us would instill some of the Leeds Rhinos into our club? I got my wish, half the squad injured, out of the cup & near the bottom of the league.

Let's hope Leeds don't go down the same route Wigan took that year otherwise they'll be in bigger bother

No matter how deep we are trouble we wouldn't cheat to save our SL lives.

I'd say the performances have been far worse than injuries alone can allow for. We've let in more points per game than any year since 1996, and are scoring fewer points per game than since 1980 when adjusting for 4 point tries. In total that equates to the worst win loss ratio Leeds have ever had - we're currently running at 20% for all games vs the previous worst was 27% in 1899-1900. In fact to turn those records around we'll probably need to be in the Middle 8s.

Leeds are the only team with injuries? Hold the back page!!! Then there's Wane saying Wigan have had it worse than all SL teams. All teams get injuries, but as a Wakefield fan has already said, if you're not one of the big boys, it doesn't seem to get noticed.

When Cas are putting a hooker and a prop at half back and still winning, I reckon Leeds and Wigan need to shut up and get on with it.

Wakefield are on their 4th and 5th centre........and I think we can all agree none of them were International quality.
