The simple fact is after 5 years at the helm and an additional 1.5m through the bank are we any better off than when he started??

I'd argue not and we're still playing with the majority of Harrisons assembled squad... should have gone a long time ago for me.

Results and performances have been rubbish. Not all RMs fault. All well and good getting shut, where is the money coming from to get someone better.

Maybe as Chris Smith is saying their is no money....maybe players know hence why the performances have been poor.

Maybe pay cut coming again.

Go on Chris enlighten us seen as though you know so much

Bloody hell! I hope your Board know what they are doing...

Re: Marshall Sacked : Fri Apr 26, 2019 9:06 pm  

Another point as much as Tangata was a good player he wasn't what was required to help the squad.

Was RM behind the signing and also you could say QLT as he has been poor too.

Im worried about this. Yes, we could be doing better, we could also be doing a whole lot worse. Dont over react, this is not a crisis, we're slightly below where we want to be.

Who will come in? How will it be better?

I don't see the harm in keeping him until the end of the season. We are still in the cup, beating Dewsbury and getting a good tie should be our focus.

Thanks for your efforts RM, you were under appreciated. Maybe this time next year we will be appreciating you more.

If anyone says they wouldn’t of signed QLT because he’d be poor this season, i want tomorrow nights lottery numbers from them. Every single fan would have gone ballistic had we not signed QLT for this season, knowing we had the chance.

Tangata hasn’t played a game since re-signing. Will people be saying it was the wrong decision if he’s a world beater for the next 2 years when he returns? Doubt it.

Forwards not laying a platform in attack and lack of aggression in defence - Tangata is exactly what we need.

Before people say “we needed new half backs”.. we needed to look elsewhere in the squad instead of relying on old heads which no longer have the legs.

Despite the above - i’m in agreement that it probably was time for Marshall to go at the end of the year. But since you have to let them know whether they intend to offer him a new deal or not by the end of the month, it was obvious they’d part ways now.

Bring on Sheffield!

Poor run of form and poor league position, time for a change. Just shows that Christian L doesn’t like the publicity, he’s not in it for that, but at least he’s got the balls to make a change. Well done in my opinion.
