Re: New thread on New Coach : Sun Jul 03, 2016 6:47 pm  

he was the perfect for us at the time. he doesn't/can't coach structure or shape, which is why we have struggled this season. however with the likes of sinfield out there he was astute enough to prepare them the basics and left them go and play. someone like wane who over coaches wouldn't have worked.
will he be good for rovers? for me he's totally the wrong choice. you need a powell/kear type coach who will organise and make you hard to beat

It'd depend on the resources available to him as much as anything. The one consolation in watching Hull's rise is what is possible with a couple of good years' investment/recruitment and organisation.

On the plus side he's been there seen it and done it. At a struggling club and a dominant one. Plus he's got a presence that, IMO, McNamara lacks.

Got to secure SL status first anyway.

I'm not sure he's the right fit for us but you don't win 6 grand finals challenge cups WCC trophies from been lucky if it was all Sinfields or Peacocks doing then why wasn't Yorkshire Carnegie promoted this season and why are we in the bottom 2

Re: New thread on New Coach : Sun Jul 03, 2016 7:18 pm  

He does a thing with his bottom lip that I don't like.

I did however like it that time when he was playing for T'Steam Pigs and he loved all those Leeds players, proper funny that.

Any idea why leeds wanted him, if as you say he was bang average? Still hes only won 3 s/l grand finals.a league leaders shield,2 challenge cups and a world club challenge and did the treble last year,not much of a record.Would expect radders will soon surpass that,only a matter of time eh!
What a complete joker you are,give your head a bang.

He's not a joker. He's an artist.

I'm guessing he has better resources at leeds now than he ever would at rovers and he's coached that team to bottom place in SL so unless you're signing jonathan thurston to work miracles for the coach then I'd suggest you start praying it won't be mcdermott

Yeah, the leeds fans love him and are desperate to keep him from hudge's outstretched arms. I could bang my head from now until the cows come home and I'd still be able to spot a cr4p coach better than you obviously can

You all said Radford was the worst coach in the world online petitions and all that now he's a coaching genius according to your fans and that's all in the space of 10 weeks

I don;t think anyone ha ever said radford was the worst coach in the world and there was only one online petition started by someone who many think is a rovers fan. I'm still far from convinced about radford but him and tony have built a squad which has gone from bottom 2 to one which is challenging at the top of SL within a couple of years so it's hard to be critical. mcdermott, meanwhile, has taken the most successful and richest side in SL in the opposite direction in 9 months.

Now it may be purely a co-incidence that leeds' most successful period in their history finished when sinfield left them and maybe mcdermott really is a great coach but I doubt it.

Anyway, I'm praying he is your next coach
