Leeds hit a real season-to-date nadir last night, they were absolutely atrocious, and a Cas team that themselves have been low on confidence and form could have put 60+ on them. Every week I look at Leeds' teamsheet (for all their claims that their injury situation is worse than anybody else) and the opposition and think "this is where they start to turn it round", but they are heading backwards at a rate of knots.
I do feel sorry for McDermott though - a proud, honest man who is being very, very badly let down by the team. Some sections of the Leeds crowd have never taken to him and continue to attribute their success to Sinfield & Peacock, and the opportunity to savage him is probably quite a consolation. Having said that, 17000 turning up on a Thursday to watch that is about 16999 more than the club deserves.
On the other hand, you have "Mr Leeds" himself, Gary H. Deluded, self-congratulatory with an ego visible from the moon, if his head was buried any deeper in the sand he'd be able to see Sydney Opera House. That big thing approaching isn't the middle 8's Gary, it's an iceberg and you may think HMS Hethrington is unsinkable but I'd start counting the lifeboats mate.
