You may find this hard to believe , but I actually think RM is a good Coach ,a little in the Paul Rowley mould I just hope he gets the Board backing and support from the Fans as Paul has from Leigh.
You then say RM has said he wants Fax to play a more attacking brand of Rugby which will suit Fax when the drier grounds come along,well that's wishful thinking all coaches have views on how they want their teams to play ,it just doesn't always happen,ask Big Karl and Brian Noble
.As for having fun at teams lower than ourselves? I respect any team and their fans , the majority of my posts are just Banter I never try to be offensive or Superior I love a bit of fun,actually I LIKE Fax ,I've joined your Fantasy Tipping Comp and even travelled to Fax games both home and away when Leigh have not been playing,I've enjoy a good debate and wish Fax well for the season , obviously not against Leigh though,Good luck on Sunday ,but hopefully not by more than 10 points.
KH never tried to play an attacking brand of Rugby it was 5 drives and a kick season on season, that's why a good number stopped coming, I doubt he ever thought about attack either wishfully or otherwise.
As to RM and what he said in the interview and how he would respond after a loss it was very interesting if you care to listen.
He was asked the basic question about the kicking game, almost every answer I have heard from any coach when being asked this same question would just talk about their own teams kicking.
RM included that Fax had dealt well with Batley's kicking game especially in the second half and picked out Greenwood and Saltonstall as returning the ball well and getting their bodies down.
My point being, he had lost to Leigh the week before and one of the reason he identified was that Leigh kicked us to death.
Did he learn anything from it and take action to improve, yes, clearly they had worked with at least the two mentioned to get in the right place to deal with it.
I also love the banter, a bit of fun and a bit of fishing, I love eating real fish but not every day every time I sit down to eat, the same thing over and over again gets boring after a while literally or figuratively.
