Brian McClennan

Leeds RL coach resigned today. Diskin moved to the Dullards. Perhaps it is time for a change, the team were unbalanced this year. 3 years as Champions is a record it will take time to beat. I hope we get a new coach and team together to stop the resurgent Wigan side. The England v NZ game was enjoyable, certainly the second half. Our last chance is against Aus next weekend and it isn't beyond us. Great to see a young team coming through. Anyone who doesnt watch Rugby League, start now. The Greatest Game of All. Brian McDermott seems a bit of a temporary solution though. The loss of Donald and all others puts us in transition. Unless Hetheringtons trip down under brings some reward one can only feel we have to be prepared for a mid table year or two. Realising, now that McClennan had his sights set for NRL mid last season makes me wonder why he didn't fuck off back down under then. We, as fans, were embarrassed, as champions throughout last season. The days of Tony Smith are gone. Hard to figure out from where a champion side, and that is what we expect, can emerge from.
Two times in my life, once as a child, then Smiths build and McClennans sides have dominated. Will I live to see another Leeds side achieve these hieghts? I sleep ill in worry awaiting what Hetherington can bring. Our academy cannot provide the spine, Sinfield, Burrow, Maguire are ageing. This recent champion Leeds side made life worth living. Come on Leeds, sort it out!
