What a load of tosh! I sometimes wonder why some people claim interest in this sport when they so obviously lack any understanding of the game. You and a few of your chums have been having a go at McDermott for almost four years now. You are on record at admitting you got it badly wrong for two of those years. Here we are once again, in with a great chance of winning all the trophies and all you can do is snipe.

Both the coach and the players each have their own responsibilities. In this particular case it is naive to judge the coach to be responsible for the loss of two points. The timings of the interchanges is also a red herring. The loss was the responsibility of defensive mistakes by the players out on the field.

would love to now how were in a "great" position to win the LLS.

What you are saying in effect is that the players decided it was just not worth making sufficient effort for this coach.....perhaps they suspected that no matter how much effort they expended they just might not be rewarded with a Wembley place with this particular coach ??

IF players really did think that then it says a lot more about them than it does the coach.

Well, i personally don't class it as a trophy as such and would feel just as empty if we 'won' that and nothing else, but i suppose if you want to get all technical then you are correct

Well if we win our last 3 matches we will be on 38 points. One of these is at home to Saints who also have to play Warrington and Huddersfield away which they could also lose giving them 36 points. We also play Wigan who have to play Widnes and Warrington so if we beat them and they win there other two they finish with 36 points.

While it would be nice to win the LLS the main events are really the Championship and the Cup and so all the coaches will want their key players fit for the playoffs so some could get rested to heal niggling injuries in the last 3 matches. There could well be a few twists and turns and surprises left.
