| Quote markrammond="markrammond"I don't see why an apology is due.
McDermott lost twice to Harlequins, was losing after 65 mins twice to Crusaders plus was very fortunate to avoid two losses to Bradford with a miracle comeback - he lost three times to three of the four weakest teams in the competition and it could have been six.
He could have easily ended the season with more losses than wins, just a couple of late comebacks such as those identified prove that.
He also got thumped at home by over 30 points quite a few times.
He has come good since the second half at Wembley, but he has only been good since then and not before when he was rightly criticised.
You could argue that he has had a lot of luck with Rangi Chase's missed drop goal and a 1 point win, a 2 point win v Warrington and a lot of very convenient injuries (both Warrington and St Helens lost their fullbacks during the game in consecutive weeks).
I'm really pleased that Leeds won the Grand Final but I don't think anyone needs to eat humble pie. I think McDermott is an average coach (with a career record of more losses than wins) but he has had a great winning run for a number of weeks after 20+ runs of mediocrity.
If he can regularly produce, everyone will need to eat humble pie. Even at Quins he had good runs over 5 games or so but couldn't make it last.
I think the whole team whom played were signed by someone else, so he has been a capable steward, you can say that.'"
So all the defeats were his but all the wins were with a side he inherited? Pish off and support Hull or someone will ya?

| great ending to the season, never saw that coming 2 month ago.
I think that Mcdermott has been extremely fortunate that he had a team of players who had the experience and desire to pull this off with grit and determination. The defensive effort for the consecutive 4 or 5 sets was the game breaker for me.
I am sure that he is a good motivator but again i think he has been fortunate to have the players to go and win the big games.
Next season will be a big challenge losing Ali who we know is past his best, but definately buderus because he has been instrumental in the turnaround of fortunes this season, and although there are some good young kids coming through he will be big boots to fill in a key position.
we finished fifth and fortunately we had the players to win some knock out games.
If the playoffs did not exist would we all be feeling he had done a great job finishing 5th ?

| If the play offs did not exist maybe some teams, Leeds/Saints perhaps, would approach the season differently... The play offs do exist and Leeds proved again that they are the best team at winning using this system.

| I was one of the doubters, never got to booing it's not my thing plenty of verbal though. i have watched a lot of dross over the years and some of the games this year have been in that class. Yes I understood we had a new coach different ideas and time was needed but I pay my money and want to see the team go ok. don't have to win every game but i want to see skill and a team game. That wasn't happening early on so i had my doubts,still not 100% but hey ho what do I no great win long may it continue.

and how different do you reckon they would approach the season ? do you reckon they both thought lets lose a few on purpose and give the other clubs a false sense of security and then when the plays off come round we will crank it up a gear.......
