So when he came we were told 2 seasons etc, now we are saying needs a bit more time. Hmm, ok........I respect the guy but c'mon.

I remember the it doesn't matter about now quote after fev hammered us at home, so after losing at home to Sheffield does it stgill not matter or is it the pre season games next season when we start to come good.

I hate this kind of talk, you don't see other teams using it, the old its a 3 year plan etc, way to put off any potential season ticket buyers.

Oh and we were ahead of Sheffield and on a par with Fev not so long ago, granted we did start to suffer under Calland as I think things got stale but we haven't improved at all.

Next year we have to get into the top 2 and be ready for lift off the year after with the new world of P&R being back. So pressure is on I hope Karl has made some great new signings and he can get us playing Sheffield style rugby, come on big fella prove the doubters wrong.

OK fax4life is your post summary based on something akin to clutching at straws or is a proper appraisal based on the last two seasons results and performances?

er stating the obvious but the last 2 years performances and results as the NRC Final last year apart we aint had much to crow about really, especially this year the only highlights for me was the big win over Leigh at the Shay and the play off win at Sheffield which was a great result but for long spells a grind, it was 0-0 at half time.
We can close that gap with 5 or 6 good signings, a hooker, stand off, scrum half, one or maybe two centres and a fast winger.
Lets wait and see.

That is nearly half a team. At this point in time from where KH took over he shouldnt be having to make such drastic changes to only get us close to catching the top 2 let alone competing with them. I think it highlights some very poor recruitment.

We're all blaming Karl for the recruitment of players, but if you take a look in the match day programme under who's who at the club it shows

Player Recruitment - Dave Robinson.

So should he take some of the flack

Also as the saying goes "Hindsight is a wonderfull thing.

At the end of the day it's a job, players have been signed to do it.

As with anything like this some times a job is well done and sometimes it's not.

If it's work in progress and still unfinnished you get someone else to do it and that's what is happening.

I'm sure if KH was asked has the recruitment gone to plan the answer would yes and no.

Where it is no he has said we will be back next year to try and fix it, but nothing can be guaranteed.

I'm as dissapointed as the rest of us with the style of play and how the season has turned out.

I have to decide if it's Fax untill I die or Fax until I cry, I have and i'll be there for as long as I'm able to go.
